We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electric Cylinder",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Actuators extend working life from
Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "The superior performance of the new ETV actuator is accomplished through the use of a high-quality C7 ballscrew, with a six-circuit nut instead of a
three-circuit one".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Electric cylinder is controllable alternative from
Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation: "An innovative electric cylinder is designed as a simple and cost effective replacement for pneumatic and hydraulic devices in areas where programmable cylinder movement is required".
In April 2006, we covered the news from SMC Pneumatics (UK)
concerning its LZ series cylinder
- take a look at Simple cylinder for machine builders
which says: "Simple electric cylinder available in two body types can operate like a pneumatic cylinder".
Take a look also at the news release from Total Motion Systems, Mechanical help for steppers and servos,
as well as Paper slitter converts to electric drive from Hoerbiger-Origa,
and Electric actuators challenge hydraulics from Unimatic Engineers.
