How to Read Electric Actuator Specifications

Description of Specification Items

Drive System

This refers to the mechanism that converts rotation into linear motion.

Repetitive Positioning Accuracy

A value indicating the amount of error that is generated when positioning is performed repeatedly to the same position in the same direction.

Resolution

Distance the rod moves with 1 pulse of rotation from the motor.

Lead

Distance the rod moves in the linear direction in one motor rotation.

Transportable Mass

Horizontal Direction

The mass that can be moved under the specified operating performance when using the cylinder horizontally.

Vertical Direction

The mass that can be moved under the specified operating performance when using the cylinder vertically.

Thrust

The thrust when the rod is running at constant speed operation and no mass is loaded onto it.

Push Force

Push force during push-motion operation that pressurizes the load continuously.

Electromagnetic Brake Holding Force

Holding force when the electromagnetic brake is operating.

Maximum Speed

Maximum speed that the maximum transportable mass can be moved.
