Parker Hannifin extends ETH electro cylinder range

Parker Hannifin has extended its ETH range of high force electro thrust cylinders. The new ETH125 combines the advantages of hydraulics with those of electronics, profiting from its rugged design and the resulting long service life.

A precision ground ball screw is the centre piece of the construction. The ETH cylinder offers low friction, an efficiency of up to 90 percent, smooth operation over the entire speed range and a long service life.

Like its smaller siblings, the ETH125 features an integrated anti-rotation device as a standard, which simplifies the integration of the cylinder into customer systems.

The ETH125 is available with screw leads of 10mm and 20mm. It is able to achieve thrust forces of up to 114,000N, travel speeds of up to 833mm/s and accelerations of up to 10m/s2.
ETH125 comes in defined standard travel lengths between 100mm and 2,000mm, but is configurable in steps of 1mm also. With a repeatability of up to 0.03mm, the ETH125 is suitable for tasks requiring precise motion, positioning, setting and actuating.

Like all cylinders of the ETH series, the ETH125 is available with parallel or inline motor configuration. Thanks to a variety of mounting options, which can be chosen according to customer requirements.

The ETH is offered in a standard IP54 protected format with galvanised screws, but is also available with stainless steel screws or with full IP65 protection.
