Selecting a Compact Electric Cylinder: Selection Procedures
Selection Method
First determine your series, then select your product.
Select the actuator that you will use based on the following flow charts:
An overview of the procedure is explained below.
-
Confirming Required Specifications
(Equipment specifications)-
Check the required specifications for the compact electric cylinder based on the equipment specifications.
The general items are explained below.- Frame Size
- Load Mass
- Thrust
- Table Height
- Stroke
- Push Force
- Stopping accuracy
-
Check the required specifications for the compact electric cylinder based on the equipment specifications.
-
Tentative Selection of Electric Actuators
-
Check that the positioning time of the tentatively selected product satisfies the requirements.
There are 2 ways to confirm this.- ②
- Calculate using a formula.
Check the thrust when using for push-pull applications.
-
Check that the positioning time of the tentatively selected product satisfies the requirements.
-
Calculating the Load Moment
- If the product is with a guide or table, take into account the calculated acceleration conditions and check that the dynamic permissible moment applied to the product is within the specified values.
