The robust cylinder features a threaded breathing port that is said to improve its environmental protection. The port enables users to apply a positive pressure to the cylinder during clean-in-place cycles.
The electrical ball screw cylinder is available in three sizes – 63mm, 80mm and 100mm – and delivers stroke lengths of up to 1.5m at speeds of up to 1.3m/s. It gives high dynamic feed forces of up to 17,000N and the piston rod is protected against rotating for additional reliability.
“With the ESBF, we can now offer machine builders a complete solution for electrical positioning, including motors, drives and accessories, for challenging high load applications,” said Nigel Dawson, product manager at Festo.
