New Technologies for Seamless Integration of Electric Cylinders

As an industry-leading electric linear actuator manufacturer, TiMOTION is your number one resource for actuation systems. Compared with equipment powered by pneumatic or hydraulic systems, electric linear actuators typically require less maintenance, improve flexibility within the system, and improve reliability. TiMOTION actuators achieve this by converting an electric motor’s rotational motion into linear motion. An end result is a machine with the ability to move and pivot in various directions; it can lift, lower, push, and pull. Electric linear actuation represents a giant leap forward for industries that rely on adjustable machines that must be reliable and easy to operate. This fully functional, sophisticated linear actuation solution is applicable across countless industries, ranging from healthcare and furniture to heavy-duty industrial equipment.

Advantages of Electric Linear Actuators

Electric linear actuators are widely used in industrial and automation-focused applications, as well as medical, furniture, and ergonomic systems, due to their precision, reliability, and ease of integration. Compared to hydraulic or pneumatic systems, electric linear actuators provide a cleaner and more efficient solution for controlled linear motion—particularly in environments where accuracy, consistency, and system simplicity are critical.

Key advantages include:

Environmentally friendly
Pneumatic and hydraulic systems rely on fluids that can leak, increasing maintenance requirements and environmental risks. Electric actuators operate without fluids, supporting cleaner system design and safer working environments.
Precision
Electric actuators are highly controllable, enabling accurate positioning and repeatable motion. This level of precision is essential in industrial automation, where consistent performance is critical to achieving stable, high-quality results.
Low Maintenance
Electric actuators typically require less maintenance than pneumatic or hydraulic systems. Without hoses, compressors, or fluid management, installation and ongoing operation are generally simpler.
Highly Adaptability
Electric actuation systems can be programmed to perform a wide range of tasks, from simple on/off movements to complex motion sequences. This adaptability makes them suitable for a broad range of industrial applications, including automated equipment and robotic systems.

FAQs About Electric Cylinders

Here are the most common questions people have about electric cylinders.

1. What is the difference between an electric cylinder and a pneumatic cylinder?

An electric cylinder uses an electric motor to create precise, controllable linear motion, while a pneumatic cylinder uses compressed air to move. Electric cylinders offer better accuracy, control, and energy efficiency, whereas pneumatic cylinders are typically simpler and faster but less precise.

2. What are the advantages of electric cylinders compared to pneumatic cylinders?

Electric cylinders offer more precise control, easier programmability, and higher energy efficiency than pneumatic cylinders. They also require less maintenance and generate less noise.

3. What maintenance is required for electric cylinders?

Electric cylinders generally require minimal maintenance, mainly periodic inspections to check for wear, proper lubrication if specified, and ensuring electrical connections remain secure.

FAQ

1. What motor voltage do you offer for your electric linear actuators?

TiMOTION primarily offers electric linear actuators operating in direct current configurations of 12V and 24V. Select models are also available in 36VDC, 48VDC, 110VAC, and 230VAC. Please consult your local sales representative for more details.

2. What is the maximum load supported by your linear electric actuators?

Each actuator is unique and can be customized according to your needs. We offer our customers electric linear actuators to support up to 16,000 N in push and pull. However, determining the load supported depends on the application, the design, how our product will be integrated into the project, and other characteristics. TiMOTION designs specific devices for industrial, medical, comfort, and ergonomic applications. Also, other parameters have to be considered, such as speed and stroke. New actuators are in development continuously; see sales for more information.

3. What is the maximum speed of your electric linear actuators?

We manufacture electric actuators with different speeds depending on the type of application. However, each of our products' maximum speed depends on the type of motor used and its RPM (rotation per minute), the gear ratio, and the spindle. For more details, do not hesitate to consult our products' technical data sheets on our website.

4. What is the maximum stroke of your electric linear actuators?

Each actuator is unique and can be customized according to your needs. Depending on the load, we generally offer electric linear actuators with stroke ranges from 20 mm to 1000 mm. Please contact our sales department if you require a stroke outside of this range.

5. Are your linear electric actuators resistant to dirt or water?

Our electric devices are specially designed to withstand their environment. However, we offer electric linear actuators with optional Ingress Protection (IP) up to IP68 or IP69K. This makes your electric motion system compatible with particularly harsh environments and resistant to solid or liquid components such as dust, water splashes, cleaning with detergents, or high-pressure cleaning.

6. How do I choose the suitable actuator for my product?

It is important to select an actuator that can meet the requirements of the application. Every application has a list of unavoidable conditions. To choose the right electric linear actuator, you must first consider your application's constraints and technical priorities:

Load to be pushed
Required speed of movement
Duty cycle
Available installation space
Application environment requirement

At TiMOTION, technical experts will work with you throughout your project to provide the best solution for your application. With a vertically integrated business model, TiMOTION offers highly customized solutions to meet the unique requirements of various applications, ensuring that the integration of electric linear actuation is seamless and efficient.
