“Total design flexibility for made-to-measure multi axis systems”
Electric Cylinders
Designed to meet our customers' requirements, our flagship range of high performance electromechanical linear actuators are suitable for a variety of industrial applications. The ISO standard rod-style, ball screw actuators are available with or without servo motors, in 6 bore sizes and with 2 motor mounting options. Accurate and repeatable, they offer long life, easy Installation based on ISO 15552; and with optional IP65 protection for both axial and parallel mounted motors they offer a solution for all application environments.
Linear Axis
Precision single linear axis units offer unique flexibility due to their modular construction from the highest quality profile, guide, drive, and accessory building blocks. Linear axis with toothbelt drives can be found in almost every industry and in a variety of applications and are ideal for fast handling and positioning tasks. The linear axis is driven by a steel-reinforced toothbelt moving lightweight or heavy loads from A to B within the desired cycle time. Linear axis with spindle drives generate high feed forces and offer extremely precise positioning accuracy and repeatability - making them a popular standard in processing, dosing and positioning applications.
Multi Axis Systems
Complex multi axis systems are essential in today’s industrial world, and they play an increasingly significant role in machine construction. Custom designed to solve your specific application challenges, we offer unlimited guide and drive combination possibilities, and a variety of configurations including H, XY & XYZ. To ensure we meet your exact specifications, our experienced technical team provide comprehensive needs assessment, advice, and technical support from design to delivery.
Modular System Options
We have a solution for nearly any application. Modular design options, high-quality products, and exceptional technical support mean this range is flexible enough to handle even the most complex multi-axis motion requirements.

What is an Electric Actuator?
An electric actuator is a device that can create movement of a load, or an action requiring a force such as clamping, using an electric motor to create the necessary force.
What is an Electric Drive?
An electric drive (often referred to as an electric controller) is a device used to control the output of a motor used, for example, to produce linear motion. The drive will accurately control the motor output and the motor response against a controlling input.
What is an Electric Motor?
An Electric Motor is a device that turns electric current flow into mechanical rotation of a spindle, or rotor. The rotation is turned into linear motion in many applications.
