Stabilizes hopper opening and closing by preventing sticking of the sliding part of the electric cylinder
Power Cylinder T Series
overview
An electric cylinder was used to open and close the hopper of a waste treatment facility.
With the hydraulic cylinders that were previously used, there was a risk that oil leakage would reduce the holding force, causing the hopper to open naturally and the contents to leak.
Additionally, wear and adhesion of the sliding parts, End fitting and pins caused instability in the opening and closing operation.
Therefore, an electric cylinder with Thrust detection limit switch is used, which stops the cylinder when pressed down to reliably seal the hopper.
In addition to preventing leakage of contents, it also reduces the risk of oil leaks and fires, improving safety.
Furthermore, the installation of a sliding bearing prevents friction and sticking, ensuring stable opening and closing operations.
Problem
With hydraulic cylinders, when an oil leak occurs, the holding force decreases, causing the hopper to open naturally, resulting in the contents leaking out.
In addition, wear and adhesion occurred between the shaft and the pin End fitting the sliding part, preventing smooth opening and closing operations, posing an issue for the stability of the entire device.
Adopted products
Power Cylinder T Series
This is an electric cylinder in the medium thrust zone with a rated thrust of 2.45kN or more that can be used with AC (alternating current) power.
With a wide range of options, including a brake motor that powerfully holds loads, a gear reduction unit that achieves low noise, a highly efficient Ball screw developed for cylinders, and a safety mechanism to protect the mating device, it can be used for a variety of purposes.

Benefits of adopting the product
By using Power Cylinder with Thrust detection limit switch, the hopper is sealed securely by stopping the pressure, preventing leakage of contents.
It also reduces the oil leaks and fire risks that are unique to hydraulic cylinders, leading to improved safety.
In addition, sliding bearings are provided in the sliding parts and End fitting to prevent wear and adhesion.
This allows the shaft and metal fittings to move more smoothly, significantly reducing the risk of them getting stuck with the pins.
The hopper opens and closes more stably, contributing to improved reliability of the entire device.
