Air or electric cylinder?
I'm designing a new generation machine that will need to push a 5/8" rod
two inches with about 600 lbs of pressure. It also needs to be a bit "springy". The new machine is only about 5 cubic feet in volume and will replace current machines that are 4' x 5' x 6' in volume. The old machines use hydraulic power for the pin push. I want the entire machine to use 120VAC only. One option is a small pump and an air cylinder, another is a linear actuator with an in-line die spring or something I haven't thought of. The rest of the machine is most of the way there and rather clever...for me, anyway. What pitfalls can I expect with a linear actuator? |
