Function and application

A rotating ball screw converts the rotary movement of a motor into a linear movement. This moves the
piston rod 2 backwards and forwards.
The piston rod is guided in a non-rotating manner. The position of the piston rod can be optionally quer-
ied as follows:
– EPCO-...ST-E: by using an integrated, incremental positional transducer after a homing run
– EPCO-...ST: enables open-loop operation (without positional transducer and without positional
feedback)
– EPCO-...-A: with an integrated ring magnet and optional proximity sensors.
The EPCO electric cylinder is designed for accurately positioning effective loads in combination with the
CMMO-ST or CMMS-ST controller (permissible controllers
The device is intended for use in an industrial environment. Measures may need to be implemented in
residential areas for interference suppression.
