Festo Miniature Electric Linear Actuator, 24V DC Input Voltage, 150mm Stroke - EPCO-40-150-5P-ST-E
Need a high-performance actuator that'll move a heavy load with a high degree of precision? This miniature electric linear actuator from Festo is a modern alternative to pneumatic actuators. It uses a piston rod and integrated stepper motor to produce linear mechanical actuation. A rotating ball screw converts the rotary motion of the motor into linear movement and moves the piston back and forth precisely. A 24V input voltage reduces the current, meaning you can use smaller-diameter wire and cut wiring costs by half, making it particularly suitable for long wiring runs.
• Recirculating ball spindle reduces friction between the nut and screw to increase efficiency • IP40 (ingress protection) rating indicates it's protected against objects over 1mm in diameter • Fitted with two connectors, one for operating motor control and the other for encoder signals, which can be connected to the Festo CMMO-ST (125-9895) controller for quick and easy web set-up
Applications
• Material handling • Production lines • Agricultural equipment
When would I use an electric linear actuator?
Electric actuators are commonly used when repeatable precision movements or low operating costs are primary considerations.
