Precise linear movements in the machine

Norelem is expanding its portfolio and now offers a compact, energy-efficient alternative to pneumatic cylinders: electric cylinders, or more precisely, IO-Link servo actuators. They are ideal for all applications in mechanical engineering or medical technology that require precise linear movements.

Norelem's electric cylinders combine a brushless servo motor, servo controller, and ball screw in a single housing. The IO-Link interface allows setpoints to be transmitted in real time and speeds, accelerations, and positions to be variably adjusted, even for complex servo positioning tasks. Alternatively, simple digital control is sufficient, as with a pneumatic cylinder.

Powerful and modern drive solution

The devices do not require any additional space in the control cabinet. Speed and force limits can be set directly via a rotary knob on the housing. The dimensions of the electric cylinders are based on ISO 15552 and are compatible with existing connection and accessory components.

Two sizes for different requirements

The electric actuators are available in two sizes and with the following features:

• Size 60
  • Spindle pitch: 5 or 10 mm
  • Stroke: 100 / 150 / 200 / 300 mm
  • Speed: up to 600 mm/s
  • Force: up to 800 N
  • Operation: 24-48 V
  • Service life: up to 10,000 km or 20,000 operating hours
  •  
• Size 80
  • Spindle pitch: 5 mm
  • Stroke: 100 / 200 / 300 mm
  • Speed: up to 300 mm/s
  • Force: up to 1500 N
  • Operation: 24-48 V
  • Service life: up to 10,000 km or 20,000 operating hours

The advantages of Norelem electric cylinders

Electric cylinders, and IO-Link servo actuators in particular, offer greater precision, energy efficiency, flexibility, and diagnostic capabilities than pneumatic cylinders. Servo actuators enable high-precision positioning and can move continuously to any stroke position and motion profile. They can be directly parameterized, monitored, and diagnosed via IO-Link. Thanks to their compact design, they are easy to install and require only power and an IO-Link cable. Fewer wear parts also means less maintenance. They operate in an energy-saving and controlled manner, are self-locking when stationary, and are therefore significantly more efficient in operation.
