Mini linear actuators: energy-saving pneumatic replacement
The overall length, width, and height of IAI's mini electric cylinders are comparable to the dimensions of pneumatic cylinders. They operate with the same controller signals - but are much more energy-efficient.
Mini-RoboCylinders from IAI are electric mini linear actuators that are extremely compact in design with a motor and encoder and offer many advantages over conventional pneumatic cylinders. They allow precise control of position, speed, acceleration and deceleration. This enables smooth start-up and braking without any problems and prevents ‘jolts’ at the end of the travel path.
Electric mini cylinders do not require continuous energy consumption, such as for compressing compressed air. This reduces operating costs in terms of energy costs, wear and maintenance.
The design of the mini linear actuators is such that they fit into the same installation spaces as pneumatic cylinders and work with the same control signals. This makes the switch to compressed air-free automation quick and easy. The space-saving mini linear drives are available as mini rod types, mini slider types or mini slide table types.
In addition to the standard version, electric mini linear actuators are also available in cleanroom versions (Cleanroom actuators) and as IP-protected models (IP30 - IP67 Actuators) for dusty or humid production environments.
RCD micro cylinders: precision in the smallest of spaces
The miniature linear actuators are only 12 mm wide and have a housing length of 52 to 72 mm, depending on the stroke length.
RCD micro cylinders are used for press mounting, lifting, lowering, clamping, aligning and much more as a replacement for pneumatic cylinders.
