EMG ESZ Electro-Servo Cylinder
EMG ESZ Electro-Servo Cylinder
The EMG ESZ Electro-Servo Cylinder is an advanced control and positioning cylinder, designed for high-precision linear applications across various industrial sectors. Utilizing a planetary gear thread (PGT), this cylinder converts rotational movement from a three-phase motor into a linear stroke, ensuring efficient and accurate actuation while minimizing friction and wear.
Main Features and Benefits
- Compact design offers high drive speed with a small motor torque
- High positioning accuracy and repeatability
- Low friction for robust, long-lasting performance
- Clean and environmentally friendly operation with minimal maintenance
- Suitable replacement for hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders
- Integrated position transducer and limit switch option
- Operates without inflammable media, providing reliable safety
Custom Options
- Folded bellows for pushrod protection against dirt
- External position indication switches (mechanically positioned on-site)
- Optional electrical locking brake with release on power loss
- Cardanic mounting to prevent critical lateral forces
- Activation and positioning via frequency converter and control amplifier
- Separate motor ventilation for demanding environments
- Alternative mounting types upon request
Technical Specifications
- Maximum force: 10, 25, 50, and 100 kN
- Protection class: IP54
- Ambient temperature: 0 … +50 °C (up to 70 °C with separate cooling fan)
- Nominal stroke: 100 – 700 mm
- Nominal speed: 30 mm/s (adjustable by frequency converter)
Lubrication and Maintenance
- Recommended lubrication every 5,000 operating hours (10–20 cm³)
- Optional automatic lubrication control via operating hour counter (up to 3 years)
- Battery-controlled automatic lubrication available for up to one year
Areas of Application
- Steel, automotive, and aluminium industries
- Exact positioning of mechanical components, butterfly valves, nozzles, and rotors
- Handling systems and strip guiding in thermal processing lines
- Coilers with medium weights and general linear actuation needs
