Electric cylinders - an alternative to pneumatics and hydraulics?


Electric linear actuators and electric cylinders can be a real alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Electric cy linders and electric linear drives have major advantages over pneumatic cylinders. Electric cylinders are generally unrivalled in terms of efficiency and energy consumption. Compressed air is available in many companies anyway. Nevertheless, compressed air is an expensive energy source. Electric cylinders are also usually superior to their pneumatic and hydraulic counterparts in terms of maintenance. While pneumatic cylinders are often cheaper to purchase, the energy cost savings of electric cylinders quickly make up for the additional costs. Especially in these times of energy shortages, efficient systems and drives are playing an increasingly important role and are quickly becoming a critical success factor for many energy-intensive companies.

Electric linear drives and cylinders also show their strengths compared to hydraulic cylinders. While the necessary oil tanks, oil lines and pumps take up more space in hydraulic systems, electric cylinders with their relatively small size and directly connected electric motor can also be used in applications where space is at a premium.
