This second-generation EMC electromechanical cylinder features a hygienic design and IP65 protection class. It is suitable for applications with frequent cleaning cycles in the food industry. The new size EMC100-XC-2 increases the power density for feeding forces of up to 56 kN. An optional force sensor allows decentralized process controls without a higher-level control system. The axis penetrates the narrow working area and approaches different positions or varies the pressing force. The ready-to-install drive units consist of anodized aluminum profiles in ISO standard dimensions, with an integrated ball screw drive. The cylinder covers variable-length strokes of up to 1,500 mm.
