As a worldwide leader in fluid power
cylinder products, Parker has combined the best of both worlds into one unique
product. All the benefits of electromechanical control and cleanliness combined
with the structural rigidity and durability of a traditional hydraulic tie rod
cylinder.
Flexibility & Versatile
Programmability
In applications where high loads are
required, roller screws offer a very attractive solution:
• Servo motors and controls feature
simplified programming
• Electromechanical control systems
provide infinite programmability
• Performance advantages not easily obtained
by comparable fluid power technology include multiple move profiles, adjustable
acceleration and deceleration, force control, and absolute positioning
capabilities
These features allow the system to
easily adapt to changing application conditions and performance requirements
with minimal modification.
Design Considerations
Installation
Due to the reduced number of
components required for a complete system, the commissioning time required for
operation is significantly reduced relative to comparable fluid power systems.
This allows system builders to quickly install, troubleshoot, and test system
capabilities faster and more reliably than other alternatives.
Anti-Rotation
Anti-rotation can now be achieved in
XFC actuators thanks to a new design that incorporates a keying feature on the
internal surface of the tubular body. This option can be configured through our
standard part number structure.
Maintenance
Roller screw cylinder systems require
little or no maintenance when compared to their fluid power alternatives, while
still delivering long life and high performance. Series XFC cylinders are
designed to be low maintenance with the factory installed full synthetic
lubrication. For high duty cycle applications (>50%), oil filled cylinders
are available with ports for recirculation as required.
