Long service life
Instead of an impact mechanism, the ELECYLINDER incorporates a ball screw and ball circulating type built-in linear guide to achieve a long service life. Based on calculation using the conditions below, the lifespan of the ELECYLINDER is five times longer than that of air cylinders.

The difference in the rate of power consumption for the ELECYLINDER and air cylinders depends on the operational frequency. The higher the operational frequency, the more effective the energy-saving becomes.
Based on tests conducted by IAI, the ELECYLINDER's power consumption, under the following conditions is 1/6 that of air cylinders.
