Electromechanical Cylinders

Electromechanical Cylinders

Electromechanical cylinders are used to move or control mechanisms and systems, often in industrial automation, robotics, and other mechanical applications. By converting electrical energy into motion, electromechanical cylinders enhance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and offer greater flexibility compared to traditional pneumatic or hydraulic systems. John Henry Foster provides two primary types of actuators (linear and rotary), along with electric and pneumatic cylinders. Whether you’re optimizing manufacturing processes, enhancing robotic systems, or improving operational efficiency, our electromechanical cylinders deliver the precision and reliability you need. 

Key Features of Electromechanical Cylinders
  • High Precision and Control: Accurate positioning, force, and speed control.
  • Energy Efficiency: Consumes less energy compared to hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
  • Quiet Operation: Operates with minimal noise.
  • Low Maintenance: Fewer mechanical components mean reduced wear and tear.
  • Clean Operation: No risk of oil leaks, making them ideal for clean environments like food processing.
Applications
Automotive Industry: For adjusting mirrors, seats, windows, etc.
Robotics: To drive joints or limbs in robotic arms or humanoid robots.
Industrial Automation: For controlling valves, conveyors, or other mechanical systems.
Aerospace: To control flaps, doors, and landing gear.
Medical Equipment: In devices like surgical robots, adjustable hospital beds, and prosthetics.
