The SCHUNK ELP can be adjusted in two simple steps making it the most user friendly electric linear module on the market. The end positions can be mechanically adjusted with a screw and the speed of extension and retraction is adjusted using rotary switches on the side of the unit. More after the jump.
Speed can be automatically adjusted, depending on extension weight and no shock absorber adjustment is necessary, because the drive automatically regulates the brake process. The ELP is practically wear-free with a long service life and low maintenance cycles. The control and power electronics are directly integrated into the module, and can be controlled by a fieldbus distributor or through digital signals. Other features:
- Compact design for tight spaces; Linear direct drive for almost wear-free use and a long service lifeControl via digital I/O for easy commissioning and rapid integration into existing systems
- 10 independent extension and retraction speeds for high flexibility in cycle times
- Robust bearing guidance for high load capacities and end-position accuracy in all installation positions; Maintenance-free for high machine uptime and low operating costs
- Standardized mounting bores for interfacing with components from the modular systems
