Key Points for Selecting Heavy-duty Ball Screw Servo Electric Cylinders

Thrust Calculation:

Accurately calculating the thrust required for a heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder is the crucial first step in the selection process. Various factors need to be comprehensively considered, such as the weight of the load, the frictional force during the movement process, the inertial force, and any possible external resistance.

For example, in an automated production line for handling heavy objects, if the load weight is 500 kg, taking into account the frictional force during movement and the inertial force at startup, after detailed calculation, it may be necessary to select a heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder with a thrust of 8000 N or even higher to ensure stable and efficient movement of the load.

Stroke Determination:

Based on the actual movement distance requirements of the actuators in the automated production line, reasonably determine the stroke of the heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder. A certain margin should be reserved for the stroke to cope with possible installation errors, equipment vibrations, and other situations.

For instance, if the actuator of a certain device needs to move back and forth within a distance of 0.5 m, considering various factors, it is more appropriate to select a heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder with a stroke of 0.6 m.

Speed Matching:

Different production processes have different requirements for the movement speed of heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinders.

In scenarios such as high-speed sorting, the heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder may need to have a relatively high speed, such as reaching 1 m/s or even higher; while in some assembly processes with extremely high precision requirements, the speed is relatively low.

Therefore, according to the speed requirements of specific production processes, select a heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder that can meet the corresponding speed range.

Precision Requirements:

For production processes with strict requirements for position accuracy, such as the machining of precision parts and the mounting of electronic components, it is necessary to select a heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder whose precision meets the requirements.

Environmental Adaptability:

Consider the working environment of the automated production line, including factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, and corrosive gases.

If the working environment temperature is high, it is necessary to select a heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder that can adapt to high-temperature environments, and its materials and seals should have high-temperature resistance characteristics; in an environment with a lot of dust, it is necessary to ensure that the heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder has good dust-proof and sealing performance, and the protection level should be at least IP54 or above; in an environment with corrosive gases, it is necessary to select a heavy-duty ball screw servo electric cylinder with a corrosion-resistant coating or made of corrosion-resistant materials.
