A Electric Cylinder Series

Beckhoff's A - Electric Cylinder Series are the ideal direct drives for linear applications that demand high process forces and speeds. These advanced actuators seamlessly blend the advantages of pneumatic technology, such as impressive force and compact dimensions, with the superior control and efficiency of servo-driven systems. The integrated mechanism, featuring precise roller bearings, ball screw, and guide, ensures a backlash-free, purely translatory motion, delivering exceptional performance and reliability. One of the key features of the A Series is its compatibility with existing pneumatic cylinder installations. The flange size of the electric cylinders is based on the ISO 15552 standard, and they feature bolting points on both sides, allowing for easy conversion from pneumatic to electric drive technology. This compatibility simplifies the transition process and enables machine builders and system integrators to leverage the benefits of electric actuation without the need for extensive modifications to their existing designs. In addition to the high-resolution, safe 24-bit multi-turn encoder, the A Series electric cylinders offer the advantages of One Cable Technology (OCT) and an electronic nameplate, streamlining the commissioning process and enabling seamless integration into the Beckhoff TwinSAFE solution for efficient machine safety implementation. The integrated anti-rotation device of the spindle further enhances the ready-to-use nature of these actuators, eliminating the need for additional mechanics.
