Power Jacks continues to expand its online 3D CADalogue facility with the launch this month of the EMA range of electric linear actuators.
Power Jacks continues to expand its online 3D CADalogue facility with the launch this month of the EMA range of electric linear actuators.
Not only does this launch provide user access to configure and download models of the actuators using the advanced product configurator, but it also allows users to do so in any of five languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
Using the product configurator is quick and easy due to its intuitive interface so users will find that they can quickly locate, configure and download the model of the actuator they need as a 3D solid model or as a 2D drawing.
Alternatively products can be located by keyword or product series using the search facility.
The configurable options for the EMA linear actuators is extensive and includes selectable features for: basic model designs; capacity ratings; linear speed ratings; stroke lengths; mounting options for the ram, including clevis, top plate, fork end; mounting options for the actuator body, including rear clevis and trunnion mounts; limit switch options and orientation; clutch options; and brake options.
Once the actuator is configured the system automatically generates the 20-digit product number for the defined actuator.
When downloading, there over 20 model/drawing formats from which to choose, including SolidWorks, Pro-Engineer, SolidEdge, AutoCAD, Catia, Unigraphics and SDRC-Ideas, allowing the models/drawings to be easily integrated into system designs.
As an engineering tool the CADalogue facility can save hours of work while improving design accuracy by enabling designers to download compatible files directly eliminating the need to manually recreate models from catalogues.
Once in an assembly the integration of the actuator into the system design can easily be tested.
Time can also be saved in the purchasing department if the electronic RFQ (request for quotation) facility is used to easily request price and other information for the configured actuator.
The 3D CADalogue will have more products from Power Jacks portfolio added over the coming months further increasing the scope of this design resource.
