Typical applications
Servo electric cylinders are commonly used for pressing, lifting, clamping, pushing, pulling, test loading, and repeatable positioning. Compared with pneumatic cylinders, they are better suited for controlled speed, position, and stable thrust.
What to confirm before selection
Before selection, confirm maximum thrust, effective stroke, running speed, mounting method, cycle time, load direction, and operating environment. For force control, also confirm sensor and control requirements.
Difference from linear modules
Linear modules are more like guided positioning platforms for moving a slider horizontally or vertically. Electric cylinders focus on linear thrust for pressing, lifting, pushing, and pulling. They are often used together in automation equipment.
Application recommendation
If a machine needs stable thrust and controllable position, start with servo electric cylinders. If the machine needs long-stroke transfer or a multi-axis platform, combine robot modules with electric cylinders.
