In fact, more ELECYLINDER operation means more profit!
Improves productivity and reduces labor costs
Profitable
ELECYLINDER
Reduced cycle time
Increased facility production capacity (increased production volume)
The required volume can be produced with less equipment (reduced new equipment investment for increased production)
The required volume can be produced in less production time (shortened operating time)
Reduced equipment costs
Reduced labor costs
Air cylinders cannot operate at high velocity due to the impact at stroke ends which occurs when excess velocity is applied.
The ELECYLINDER allows individual adjustment of AVD with percentage input for smooth starting/stopping at high velocity. This enables reduced cycle time.

Reduces momentary stops on the production line and improves equipment operating rates
Depending on the state of equipment, various air cylinder issues can trigger momentary stops on the production line.
The ELECYLINDER can eliminate air cylinder- related momentary stops.
