Parker ETH, High Force Electro Thrust Cylinder

The well-known series of ET electro-thrust cylinders, which is widely used in thousands of different applications was completely redesigned and enhanced.

  • Unrivaled power density - high forces and small frame sizes
  • Initiators / initiator lines can be hidden in the profile
  • Optimized for safe handling and simple cleaning
  • Greatly increased lifetime (up to factor 5)
  • Reduced maintenance costs thanks to integrated relubricating hole in the cylinder flange
  • Easy replacement due to pneumatic ISO flange norm (DIN ISO 15552:2005-12) conformity
  • Anti-rotation device integrated
  • Reduced noise emission
  • All from one source
    We offer the complete drive train: Drive controllers, motors and gearboxes matching the electro thrust cylinder

Typical fields of application:

  • Packaging Machines
  • Food Processing and Beverage
  • Material handling and feed systems,
  • As a servo cylinder in the wood and plastic working industry
  • In the textile industry for tensioning / gripping textile fabrics
  • As vertical actuators for loading machine tools
  • In the automotive industry for transporting and feeding components
  • Testing equipment and laboratory applications
  • Valve and flap actuation
  • Pressing

Technical characteristics:

For precise motion, positioning, setting and actuating, the electro thrust cylinder offers:

  • High mechanic efficiency up to 90 %
  • Strokes up to 1600 mm
  • High traction/thrust force up to 25 100 N
  • Repeatability up to  ±0.03 mm
  • Speed up to 1.7 m/s
  • Toothed belt drive (for parallel motor mounting)
  • Many different screw pitches for thrusts from 5 to 32 mm/rev.
  • 3 different sizes (ETH032, ETH050, ETH080)
  • Predefined standardized motor and gearbox flanges for simplified selection. The motors are available directly from Parker (all from one source).
  • 3 different protection classes available:
    • IP54 with galvanized screws (standard)
    • IP54 with VA stainless screws
    • IP65 (on request)
