Flexibility of choice
18 December 2015
Thorite is offering electric drives from selected industry-leading manufacturers including Festo, Parker, SMC and Linak. This flexibility of choice means Thorite's specialist Automation Applications Team, using sizing software to check application parameters, can help customers specify the most appropriate solution to their precise application requirements, with all the benefits that electric actuation brings.
These benefits include significantly increased speed - up to 10m/s maximum, with spectacular acceleration figures of 125m/s2, or twice that of a jet fighter. Control is too, with accuracy to 0.003mm and infinitely variable positioning and repeatability.
Previous differences in costs between electric and pneumatic actuation are now much reduced, and with Thorite's prices fast approaching parity electric actuators offer a better value, higher performance, increased efficiency option for a range of automation applications.
