Product catalog summary
Overview: The RACO Electric Cylinder is a mechatronic actuator designed for dynamic handling and automation processes. It combines a mechanical actuation unit with an intelligent positioning motor, offering high power density, position accuracy, and a high duty cycle. This actuator is suitable for a wide range of positioning applications in automation technology.
Specifications: The actuator includes a thrust unit with a powerful screw and maintenance-free lubrication, an asynchronous AC motor with a thermal contact and frequency converter, and a pulse encoder with position electronics. It operates on a 1-phase internal converter (3 x 230 V / 2-150 Hz) and features a resolution of 512 pulses per revolution.
Control and Configuration: The actuator supports plug-and-move technology with a Windows configuration tool, allowing easy parameterization to achieve servo-motor functions. It includes 2 analog input channels for continuous position and speed control, 4 digital control input channels, and 3 digital control output channels. The actuator can be configured via an RS 232 interface, and all parameters are stored in an E(E)PROM for continuity in case of power failure.
Performance Range: Available in types T6E4 (trapezoidal thread drive) and K6E4 (ball screw drive), the actuators can handle forces up to 7.5 kN with a motor power of 0.5 kW. They feature a hardware interface with four digital input signals and support up to 16 discrete setpoint positions with an absolute resolution of 32 bits.
Options and Accessories: Optional features include proximity switches, a cooling fan, a holding brake, a 24V DC auxiliary power connection, and a Profibus DP interface for online monitoring and parameter adjustments. The actuators can be customized with different speed and force ranges, and multiple motors can be connected for synchronous movements.
Technical Data: The document provides detailed technical data, including speed and force ranges for different actuator types, order codes, and main dimensions. The actuators are certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 standards.

3.5.0 Positioning Cylinder-1

RACO ELECTRIC CYLINDER INTELLIGENT POSITION AND CONTROL CYLINDER powerful thrust movements in push and pull applications For dynamic handling and auto- mation processes, RACO offers a cost effective position and control actuator whereby the mechanical actuation unit (push / pull) is combined with an intelligent positioning motor. The compact design in conjunction with a high power density, position accuracy and high duty cycle are the distinguished features of the intelli- gent position and control actuator. positioning actuator can be used for a wide range of positioning applications in the entire arena of the automation technology field. The position and control actuator includes in its standard version the following components: ■ Thrust unit: Industrial designed powerful screw with maintenance free long life lubrication. The positioning and control cylinder has been designed for operation as a decentralized controlled actuator and incorporates, in addition to a frequen- cy converter, a position sensor and position control. The resolution of the encoder is 512 pulses per revolution on the motor shaft and more than suitable for most positioning applica- tions. Plug-and-move technology, in conjunction with the supplied windows configuration tool, ensures that the microprocessor of the electric linear actuator can be easily parameterized so that it virtually achieves the functions of a servo- motor. The parameters supplied by the client can be readily works adjusted for rapid commissioning and realization of simple control circuits (open & closed loop). The positioning and control cylinder fulfils the requisite ■ RACO Positioning motor Asynchronous alternate current motor with thermal contact and frequency converter, Pulse encoder with position electronic: The parameter setting for ramp function, speed or acceleration control and slow down is realized by: ■ 2 analog input channels (continuous position and speed) ■ 4 digital control input channels via optocoupler, programmable 3 digital control output channels (motor start, position feedback, hazard diagnose)
