Electric cylinder from the general type is divided into folding type and direct-connected type, folding type is using synchronous belt drive, direct-connected type is directly using the coupling for connection. The motor is the power to drive the electric cylinder, if there are control precision requirements, then the servo motor is the choice, if there is no precision requirements, with ordinary motors is also possible. Ordinary motor motor has DC brush motor and DC brushless motor and other types. Low speed and large thrust can even choose stepper motors. When a DC brushless motor or other servo motor + encoder drive method is used, the extension of the electric cylinder can be precisely controlled by closed loop. For ordinary motor drive, limit switches are designed at both ends of the electric cylinder to control the stroke. The electric cylinder controls the feedback force, movement distance, speed and acceleration through sensors and circuits.

Electric cylinder products are mainly divided into two parts: motor part and electric cylinder part. Generally speaking, the electric motor is configured according to customer requirements (power, control requirements), and the price of different electric motors is not the same. If your control requirements are simple, you can choose pulse-controlled Japanese servo and domestic servo, these have the advantages of accurate position control, fast speed, maneuverability, constant torque output, low noise, good sealing performance, long service life, diversified mounting methods, simple installation, and so on.
