Product overview
4.1
Function
The electric cylinder converts the rotary motion of the mounted motor into a
linear motion of the piston rod. The drive screw converts the torque of the motor
into a feed force. The linear movement of the piston rod is guided by two guide
rods of the guide unit. Sensors monitor end positions, reference position and
intermediate position.
