October Product Spotlight

 

Introducing the ECVR Electric Cylinder

 

PHD now offers a lower cost electric cylinder! Most electrically driven cylinders require a non-rotating feature to properly reciprocate. The same is true for our popular Series ECVA cylinder. Our latest addition to the family, the Series ECVR is constructed without the additional cost of a non-rotating rod feature. With all the force and speed of its forerunner, the new Series ECVR breaks ground with a much lower cost and is perfect for applications where rod rotation is prevented by the load or tooling attached to the rod.

 

All PHD electric cylinders feature a rigid construction with extremely low backlash. Available in three different sizes, these actuators feature Your Motor, Your Way, a configurable system giving you the freedom to incorporate the motor and controls of your choice. 


Major benefits:

  • High thrust and speed capability with 1000 mm travel lengths available.
  • High degree of repeatability and high precision ball screw assemblies.
  • ISO/VDMA mounting interface for easy interchange.
  • Inline and foldback motor mounting flexibility.
  • Your Motor Your Way for online configuration of motor mounting plates.
