For precise linear movements in your machine°

New from norelem: Electro cylinders with IO-Link servo technology

norelem has expanded its portfolio and now offers a compact, energy-efficient alternative to pneumatic cylinders: Electro cylinders, or more precisely IO-Link servo actuators. These are ideal for all applications in mechanical engineering or medical technology where precise linear movements are required.

The electro cylinders from norelem combine a brushless servo motor, servo controller and recirculating ball spindle in a single housing. Set values can be transmitted in real time, speeds, accelerations and positions can be variably adjusted and even complex servo positioning tasks can be performed via the IO-Link interface. Alternatively, a simple digital control as with a pneumatic cylinder is also sufficient.

Powerful and modern drive solution°

The devices do not require any additional space in the control cabinet. Speed and force limitation can be set directly using a twist knob on the housing. The electro cylinder dimensions are based on ISO 15552 and are compatible with existing connection and accessory components.

Two sizes for different requirements

The electric actuators are available in two sizes and with the following features:

Size 60

• Spindle pitch: 5 or 10 mm
• Travel: 100 / 150 / 200 / 300 mm
• Speed: up to 600 mm/s
• Force: up to 800 N
• Power supply: 24-48 V
• Service life: up to 10,000 km or 20,000 working hours

Size 80

• Spindle pitch: 5 mm
• Travel: 100 / 200 / 300 mm
• Speed: up to 300 mm/s
• Force: up to 1500 N
• Power supply: 24-48 V
• Service life: up to 10,000 km or 20,000 working hours

The advantages of norelem electro cylinders

Electro cylinders and IO-Link servo actuators in particular offer greater precision, energy efficiency, flexibility and diagnostic options than pneumatic cylinders.

Servo actuators enable highly accurate positioning and can travel infinitely to any position and motion profile . They can be parameterised, monitored and diagnosed directly via IO-Link. The compact design makes them easy to install and only requires power and an IO-Link cable. Fewer parts subject to wear also means less maintenance. They operate energy-efficiently and in a controlled manner, are self-locking when stationary and therefore significantly more efficient in operation.
