Actuators extend working life
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.
A new addition to Parker Electromechanical's ET ElectroThrust range of linear actuators offers enhanced performance and an extended working life The ETV100 is derived from the proven ET100 electric cylinder and uses the same basic design in combination with higher performance key components

Parker announces X-Mill manufacturing solution
Parker's Electromechanical Automation Division has announced the X-Mill as a manufacturing solution, expanding its long-travel-positioner manufacturing capabilities.
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.
Further changes include the integration of taper roller bearings and the addition of a bearing lubrication point.
While the upgraded ballscrew provides the benefit of double the static and dynamic capacity, the taper roller bearings increase load capacity by three times when compared to the original angular contact bearings.
The ETV100 offers thrusts in excess of 21kN, stroke lengths of up 1500mm and +/-0.07mm repeatability.
With a ballscrew diameter of 40mm, two pitch options of 5 and 10mm are offered, permitting linear speeds of up to 340mm/s.
Like the other actuators in the ElectroThrust range, the ETV100 is available in both direct and belt-driven parallel drive configurations and features the same standard options for rod-end configuration and cylinder mounting.
An IP65 rated version is also available, suitable for use in wash down, external and contaminated environments.
Together these enhancements both expand the scope of applications open to the ElectroThrust range as well as extending the actuator's working life in applications previously satisfied by the existing ET100 actuators.
Typical applications include materials handling and feed duties, testing equipment, pick and place tasks, as well as valve/flap actuation.
With the IP65 option the ETV100 is also ideally suited for use in food and beverage applications where system wash down is a prerequisite. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin - Electromechanical and Drives Division ...
