Container stopper: Cyltronic actuator replaces pneumatic cylinders

A good example of how a Cyltronic actuator optimizes existing systems.

In this example, a CTC-060 electric cylinder with 100 mm stroke replaces a compressed air cylinder. Cyltronic actuators combine control, drive and ball screw spindles in one compact device And can easily be used for exactly this task.

What was done?

A container stopper in a packing system brings the goods into the required position. With a simple lifting movement, the container is placed at a defined position. Until now, this was a task for a pneumatic cylinder.

Two aspects were important for the conversion to an electric Cyltronic actuator:

Reducing energy costs By avoiding compressed air
Reducing noise emissions in production environments

Both could easily be done with a CTC-060 electric cylinder Can be realized with a 100 mm stroke. Only one is required to operate Requires power supply and a control line. The installation was carried out Without further design changesBecause the CTC-60 complies with standard pneumatic cylinders (ISO 15552) in dimensions and mounting points.
