norelem’s new integrated electric cylinders deliver precise linear motion
The newly introduced electric cylinders from norelem integrate a brushless servo motor, servo drive, and ball screw within a sturdy housing. Users benefit from a compact, fully electrical alternative to conventional pneumatic cylinders. These actuators enable precise linear motion without the need for external frequency inverters or supplementary control modules. They are ideally suited for automation tasks in machinery engineering and medical technology, offering high efficiency, reliability, and simplified architectures.
IO-Link Interface Enables Real-Time Speed, Acceleration, Position Adjustments Seamlessly
An integrated IO-Link interface enables real-time transmission of target values, allowing dynamic adjustment of speed, acceleration, and position. This capability simplifies configuration of servo positioning tasks via straightforward parameterization, eliminating the need for additional hardware. As an alternative, users can rely on conventional digital I/O control familiar from pneumatic cylinders, facilitating migration by reducing programming complexity. Dual-mode operation streamlines integration, lowers commissioning time, and enhances system adaptability without sacrificing precision.
Compact ISO 15552 actuators fit cabinets without additional space
These compact actuators eliminate the need for extra control cabinet space. Users adjust speed and force limits on the housing via a convenient rotary knob, enabling rapid in-situ tuning. Conformance with ISO 15552 dimensional standards ensures compatibility with standard fittings and modular accessories from different manufacturers. This standardized form factor accelerates retrofit processes, streamlines component selection, and lowers engineering and assembly efforts, boosting overall project efficiency, reducing installation lead times.
