An electric actuator is a tool that can move a load or perform an operation that needs force, like clamping, by employing an electric motor to provide the required force.
As the spindle, or rotor, turns, an electric motor will produce rotary motion. The driving shaft, which revolves in a ball screw nut, connects the motor spindle directly to a helical screw.
The ball screw nut is moved forward or backward along the helical screw as the spindle revolves. The linear actuator is moved out of or into as the motor turns clockwise or counterclockwise by a hollow piston rod that is fastened to the ball screw nut.
Electric drive, which regulates the motor, enables adjustment of the rotation speed and, as a result, of the actuator’s linear speed. The linear actuator can be programmed to move to a specific location, halt, and then continue moving, or return to its rest state, and a feedback system provides positional information.
The torque that can be produced and, thus, the force that can be put to work through the actuator, depends on the motor’s power.
The Canada EV actuators market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Festo provides the best-in-class flexibility and control in high load situations with its newly developed ESBF series of heavy-duty electrical cylinders with spindle drive.
These high-performance mechanical linear drives with piston rods have a clean appearance and are designed for applications requiring dynamic forces between 300 N and 17,000 N. This is equivalent to gaining hydraulic performance while maintaining electrical purity and efficiency.
Depending on the size chosen, the ESBF may deliver maximum stroke lengths of 800mm to 1,500mm in six sizes ranging from 32 to 100 mm. The 36 standard settings for the ESBF also include extra variations and unique strokes.
