Features of NIKKEN Stroke motor electric cylinders

Basic construction and operation

The electric cylinder (stroke motor) is superbly water resistant, achieving an astounding IP68 rating (except for some models).

Furthermore, it has excellent temperature characteristics and weather resistance, and is mounted on a wide range of equipment used outdoors such as agricultural machinery, specially-equipped vehicles and construction machinery.

Easy to install and economical

Unlike pneumatics and hydraulics, electric cylinders require no pipes, making them easy to install and economical when combined with a simple design.

Useful in a wide variety of environments

With a water-resistant construction, these cylinders can be used outdoors, on specialized vehicles and countless other places. They are also highly weather-resistant, making them suited for use in cold climates.

Remote-controllable

With a control unit (Stroke motor hand switch with cable), you will be able to control the linear action of a Stroke motor remotely with ease.

Internal protective device

Stroke motors contain a torque-limiting clutch and if external force exceeds the clutch’s transfer capacity, it will automatically slip and protect the motor from damage.

DC power supply, perfect for vehicular use

Stroke motors use either a 12V or 24V DC power supply, which means they can use automotive batteries as a power source.

Stable slide positioning means a wide variety of applications

The use of a 30°trapezoidal screw means that the slide position will be held firmly in place.
