Electric Cylinders EC3 Series

Electric Cylinders EC3 Series

The EC3 Series provides robust electric cylinders for moderate to heavy thrust loads. Ball or lead screw types yield quiet operation, low backlash and high accuracy, with a choice of motor-to-screw reduction types. Exceptionally durable bearing and drive housings are available with optional environmental features to resist moisture and contaminants. The special design minimizes the need for routine maintenance.
