GearTopper December: ISOMOVE

GearTopper: ISOMOVE electric cylinders

In this monthly recurring column we would like to put a transmission or related product into the spotlight, our GearTopper. In this way, we like to share our product knowledge with our readers. In this final edition of 2022, we focus on the ISOMOVE electric cylinders. 

Electric cylinders are more and more replacing pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. Mostly the pneumatic ones are replaced by electric to get a more dynamic and accurate linear positioning. Hydraulic cylinders are more often replaced because of the same aspects as pneumatic cylinders but also because the number of applications that want to avoid oil is growing.
​The combination of an anodized aluminum profile, a high quality ball screw, belt drive or planetary gearbox, driven by a servomotor makes the ISOMOVE a high dynamic actuator or also called ‘servo actuator’.

The ISOMOVE electric cylinder is produced in Italy by Setec Group and has a range with a load up to 350kN and a maximum linear speed of 1600mm/sec. Due to the high efficiency of all components, it can be used at 100% duty cycle which is different from the standard linear actuators. 

Most sizes are available in 3 different input versions, 

• with servo-coupling to directly connect the servomotor to the ball screw with zero-backlash
• with a parallel placed belt-drive to be more compact in overall dimensions 
• with a standard or minimum backlash planetary gearbox between motor and screw

Next to all standard options there have been produced plenty of customized versions and special attachments to make the ISOMOVE the ideal electric cylinder for your application. If you have any questions or wishes, please contact us.
