Actuator technology

As an authorised EWELLIX specialist dealer, we introduce you to the versatile and powerful electromechanical actuators from EWELLIX. At BLÄSSINGER, we are your competent partner and offer you a customised selection of actuator solutions that are suitable for general and special industrial applications.

EWELLIX develops high performance electromechanical actuators that provide precise, stable forward and backward motion and are ideal for processes where pushing, pulling, lifting or sliding is required.

Compared to conventional pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, electromechanical actuators from Ewellix offer numerous advantages: they are flexible in terms of speed, precise in terms of positioning and are characterised by high energy and cost efficiency. The reduced number of components reduces maintenance costs and the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the system - which makes operation more economical and reliable in the long term.

Given the wide range of EWELLIX products, we can help you select the optimum solutions for your specific requirements. Our technical expertise and many years of experience help us to recommend the products that have proven most successful in the industry and make your processes more efficient.

Features of actuators

Linear actuators convert electrical energy into linear motion. The electromechanical linear actuators from Ewellix are equipped with a ball or roller screw drive that is driven by an electric motor - a design that offers considerable advantages. These actuators are suitable both for use in new machines and as a replacement for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in existing systems.

Actuators with low duty cycle

Einschaltdauer bis zu 25 – 40 % bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten und Kräften bis zu 12 kN

CAHB series

Developed for operation in harsh environments at temperatures from -40 to +85 °C with a maximum duty cycle of 25 % and consist of robust metal gears with corrosion-resistant housings. You can choose between seven different types in the series, all of which are virtually maintenance-free, self-locking up to 2 times the rated load and have a protection class of up to IP69K/66M.

Matrix series

The Matrix series has been specially developed and approved for medical applications. It includes powerful AC and DC actuators that run very quietly and can be installed at almost any angle, both vertically and horizontally.

Actuators with high duty cycle

Duty cycle up to 100 %, high speed and forces up to 500 kN possible

CASM 32/40/63

Actuators in this series are particularly suitable for performing fast and powerful linear movements. In contrast to pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders, the electric CASM drives are flexible and can therefore be positioned precisely. Their modular concept enables easy connection to any motor and control system, which significantly reduces design and programming costs.

LEMC

The electric cylinders in the LEMC series are designed to replace hydraulic systems. They are equipped with a precision roller screw drive with electric motor and gearbox. This combination enables a higher power density than conventional models.

EMA-100 (vorher CASM-100)

Ewellix has developed an innovative modular electric cylinder platform suitable for most applications in the automotive and heavy machinery industry to replace mainly hydraulic solutions. Thanks to its modular design, the series offers the possibility of adapting the actuator to customer-specific requirements and at the same time being flexible in the choice of motor.

Lifting columns

Lifting columns (also known as telescopic columns) are an intelligent solution for implementing a lifting function in industrial and medical devices. They are quiet, robust and powerful, thus fulfilling the most demanding requirements.

Actuator technology

The examples illustrate the flexible usability and performance of the drives in a wide range of industrial applications.

Material forming

Electromechanical presses are used for a variety of applications such as press-fitting, punching or clinching. Larger presses can be used for high-precision deep drawing. Ewellix roller screws are the best solution to handle the high peak loads of these applications, offering the best values in terms of lifetime, power density and reliability.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Consistent quality thanks to perfect repeatability of force measurements
  • Easier force and position control
  • Longer service life
  • Increased productivity
  • Lower maintenance costs

Filling and labelling stations

Automated flexible filling stations are used as soon as liquid food and beverages need to be filled into bottles and cans.

ADVANTAGES:

  • No oil, therefore no risk of oil leaks
  • Higher productivity and shorter amortisation time
  • Maintenance-free
  • Flexibility due to multiple settings
  • Efficient for lower power consumption
  • Lower CO2 footprint

Simulators and hexapods

Simulators are used to imitate movement behaviour under realistic conditions, whether for scientific, educational or entertainment purposes. With the help of multi-axis systems, almost all movement patterns can be imitated with a high degree of accuracy and responsiveness.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Low noise level
  • High movement accuracy and repeatability
  • Compactness
  • Fully flexible motor selection
  • Suitable for platforms from a few kg up to 6000 kg

 


Medicine: stretchers and physiotherapy tables

Adjustable physiotherapy / medical beds provide a safer workplace for carers as the patient can assume a more comfortable position and the carer can quickly and easily adjust the height of the bed, backrest and leg rest to an optimum level. Actuators make it possible to raise and adjust a position using either a hand control or a foot control.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Compact and robust design
  • Quiet and smooth operation
  • Energy efficient
  • Easy to install and operaten

Building automation

Actuators are installed in many modern buildings. These electromechanical drives open and close conventional and tiltable windows, skylight domes, façade elements, blinds and smoke and heat extraction flaps at the touch of a button or automatically with the help of climate sensors (wind/rain) as well as temperature and smoke sensors.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Quiet and smooth operation
  • Easy to integrate
  • Easy to install
  • Economical and cost-effective
