Space-saving mini linear actuators
The overall length, width and height of IAI’s mini electric cylinders are comparable to the dimensions of pneumatic cylinders. They also operate using the same control signals – but are significantly more energy-efficient.
IAI’s electric mini linear actuators are small electric drives with a motor and encoder that generate a linear pushing or pulling motion in the tightest of spaces for lifting, pushing, positioning or pressing small loads. They fit into the same installation spaces as pneumatic cylinders and also operate using the same control signals. This makes switching to compressed-air-free automation quick and easy.
Electric mini-cylinders enable precise control of position, speed, acceleration and deceleration. This allows for smooth start-up and braking without any ‘jerking’ at the end of the travel.
No continuous power supply is required for their operation. This reduces energy costs, wear and maintenance requirements.
Tiny RCD Micro Cylinders
Micro cylinders are linear actuators with an extremely compact housing, just 12 mm wide, and short installation lengths ranging from 52 to 72 mm. They are used when relatively small forces are required and installation space is limited.
