High Force Electrocylinder and Small Frame Sizes
The Parker ETH electrocylinder closes the gap between pneumatic and hydraulic drives. It is suitable to replace those in many aplications and simultaneously increase the reliability of the production process. Taking the costs for air and oil into consideration, you will fiind that in most cases an electromechanical system such as the ETH elctrocylinder offers the most economical solution.
- Strokes up to 2000 mm
- High traction/thrust force up to 56 000 N
- Repeatability up to �0.03 mm
- Speeds up to 1.7 m/s
- Frame sizes ETH032, ETH050, ETH080, ETH100

Make Your SmartMotor a CNC Solution
SMNC™, Moog Animatics' G-Code based servo motion control software, uses numeric control to deliver multi-axis contouring for your Moog Animatics SmartMotor™ applications. SMNC provides a set of features that are comparable to any CNC system, including a user interface that is similar in appearance to a traditional CNC system.
With SMNC you can define up to 30 inputs to perform SMNC functions, such as Start, Reset, and Feed Hold or as interlocks as well as define up to 10 different tools.
SMNC standard features include:
Linear and circular motion control of multiple axes
Configures SmartMotors across multiple serial ports
Displays source code during execution
Large numerical display
Duplication of axis motion for gantry systems
Converts CAD-DXF files into motion control G & M Codes
Smooth control of acceleration and deceleration for sensitive curvilinear motion
User-definable M-Codes for digital output
