ESZ electric servo cylinder

View
Function:

Electromechanical linear drive

Mechanical design:

Electric motor with planetary gear drive in the

housing block

Connection:

Electrical via frequency converter,

mechanical trunnion and swivel head

Colour/weight:

see separate dimension sheets

weight: from approx.: 40 240 kg
(depending on the design)

Intended purpose:
The electric servo cylinder is preferably used for adjusting steering frames.
Disadvantages connected with hydraulic systems (oil, leakage, etc.) are avoided. The electro servo cylinder is also suitable for other applications where a load is moved or positioned (adequate dimensioning provided).
Functional description:
The electric servo cylinder is a electric mechanical linear actuator. It fundamentally consists of the following main components:
electric motor (standard: three-phase asynchronous motor)
spindle converter PGT (planetary gear) with piston rod
housing block with bearing, safety clutch, trunnion
housing made from extruded aluminium, including position-independent grease lubrication
end position cushioning (Belleville springs)
Stroke transducer digital
Optional:
locking brake
Adjustable limit switches
Stroke transducer (analogue)
external fan
Automatic lubrication system incl. cartridge and elect. control with EMG iCON SE strip position controller
The electric motor, which is actuated via a frequency converter (FC), is used to drive the threaded spindle. The rotation of the spindle is
converted into a linear movement in the spindle converter. The speed of the push tube and the speed of the electric motor are not proportional to one another due to the slip in the PGT. An analogue input voltage for the frequency converter (setpoint) means the ESZ electric
servo cylinder can be continuously controlled in terms of force and direction in the same way as a hydraulic cylinder with a servo valve.
The FC operates in V/f control as standard; vector control is required for applications with a permanently high load. The ESZ must be
cooled in this setup by an optional separate fan.
