Parker extends ETH electro cylinder range
Parker Hannifin has extended its ETH range of high force electro thrust cylinders. The new ETH125 is said to combine the advantages of hydraulics with those of electronics. Typical applications include material forming and press applications, food processing and packaging machinery and industrial automation.
The cylinder offers low friction, an efficiency of up to 90%, smooth operation over the entire speed range and a long service life. The ETH125 also features an integrated anti-rotation device as a standard, which simplifies the integration of the cylinder into customer systems. The standard central lubrication port integrated into the cylinder body helps reduce maintenance overhead and keep downtimes to a minimum.
The ETH125 is available with screw leads of 10 and 20mm. It is able to achieve thrust forces of up to 114000N, travel speeds of up to 833mm/s and accelerations of up to 10m/s2. It comes in defined standard travel lengths between 100 and 2000 mm, but is also configurable in steps of 1mm.
