Our solutions are widely trusted in industrial automation, automotive manufacturing, intelligent robotics, precision testing, and heavy-duty actuation systems.
Product Overview
A custom electric cylinder is a high-precision linear actuator that integrates a servo motor with a ball screw or planetary roller screw mechanism. Serving as a next-generation alternative to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, it offers unmatched closed-loop control accuracy, superior energy efficiency, and a 100% oil-free, clean operating environment.
High-precision position control: Closed-loop control with seamless synchronization.
Programmable motion profiles: Flexible adjustment of speed, force, and position.
Low maintenance cost: Eliminates aging valves and seal leakages.
Oil-free & Eco-friendly: Ideal for cleanrooms and medical environments.
High repeat positioning accuracy: Ensures consistency over millions of cycles.
