PC series linear actuators are an efficient and productive alternative to pneumatic cylinders. The efficiency of the PC actuator is over 80%, while pneumatic systems typically range from 10-15%. The energy savings are significant, as the linear actuator only consumes power during movement. Settings for limit switches and speed profiles can easily be adjusted on the fly, minimizing production downtime. Quick installation can be done using the same dimensions as pneumatic components.
With the PC linear actuator, there are fewer components in the application compared to a compressed air system. There are no air leaks or compressor maintenance required. It is suitable for use in automation and material handling applications, as well as in the food industry: the IP65 rating and smooth profile make the PC series ideal for high hygiene level applications.
