Aimed at precision motion control in food and beverage processing, medical equipment and other applications where corrosion resistance and hygienic design are vital factors, JVL Industri Elektronik’s has recently launched MACTUATOR(TM) electric cylinder from Mclennan, its UK distribution partner.
The powerful linear actuator integrates a stepper motor or servomotor/encoder complete with drive, motion controller plus fieldbus communication. The self-contained assembly is fully protected to IP67 or IP69K in sealed 300-grade stainless steel housing with a smooth surface. The stainless steel housing repels solids build-up and can be subjected to high pressure spray and caustic washdown.
Available in six nominal size and power output options with a choice of ball screw, acme screw or roller screw mechanics, the rod-style design is a compelling alternative for pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders with the advantage of much finer control and easier machine integration.
With stroke lengths to 1000mm and thrust force to over 20kN the MACTUATOR has been designed for high reliability, long life and maximum durability against thrust loads.
