ETT Series - Electric Tubular Motors

Source: Parker Hannifin

ETT is a direct thrust linear motor actuator, used in a variety of linear handling and pick & place applications including medical device manufacturing.  This linear motor actuator is a cost-effective and energy-efficient alternative to pneumatic cylinders. 

Linear Handling and Pick & Place Applications
8 - 118 N Continuous Force
32 - 474 N Peak force

The ETT‘s linear motion is directly generated without the need for mechanical transmission elements like ball screws, toothed belts and gearboxes. The tubular motor has two main components; the rod (shaft) made of a stainless steel tube with built in neodymium magnets and the stator (body) which is comprised of feedback electronics and high performance bearings. The ETT offers three lengths and three sizes meeting the requirements of the pneumatic ISO flange standard (DIN ISO 15552:2005-12) for simplified mechanical integration.  It also offers swiveling electrical connectors and extensive accessory options allow flexible mounting.  A major benefit of the ETT design is that long and/or heavy duty cycles are possible without additional cooling.
