Simplified motion series electric drives combine the simplicity of pneumatics with electric automation. These electric drives equipped with digital I/O and IO-Link enable a range of operational and productivity features and deliver intelligent IIoT communication. The actuators are built for simple motion between two mechanical end positions. The drives offer optimized motion characteristics, including gentle cushioning, while advancing and retracting into the end positions and pressing and clamping functionality. Units include toothed belt axis, spindle and toothed belt axis, mini slide, electric cylinder and rotary drive. The drives are plug and play for fast startup and require no additional software or specific know-how.
