Q: What are the main applications of DGE electric cylinders?
A: Primarily used for linear motion control requiring high precision and dynamic response. Examples include precision dispensing and PCB positioning in electronic assembly lines; pressing and handling in automotive parts assembly lines; and sampling and pipetting in medical equipment. Compared to pneumatic actuators, electric cylinders offer more precise positioning control and a more flexible motion curve.
Q: How heavy a load can the 800mm stroke DGE-40 handle?
A: Load capacity needs to be calculated based on speed, acceleration, and installation method. Generally, the DGE series can handle loads of tens of kilograms in the 40mm specification, but specific values should be referenced from FESTO's official load curves. It is recommended to accurately calculate the load using selection software based on actual working conditions (horizontal/vertical, movement speed, acceleration/deceleration time).
Q: What should be considered during purchase and installation?
A: Three points to note:
The motor needs to be purchased separately: This model usually does not include a motor; a servo motor or stepper motor and driver must be selected separately according to control requirements.
Controller Selection: A motion controller or PLC is required to achieve precise position and speed control.
Installation Accuracy: The mounting surface should have sufficient flatness and rigidity to ensure guiding accuracy and lifespan.
