Application Examples of linear actuator- 13. Gate Opening and Closing
Application Examples
Gate opening and closing (ready mixed concrete)
The gate (lid) is opened and closed when fresh concrete is poured into the formwork. The gate closes when the cylinder is pulled. When the fresh concrete contains a lot of water, it is necessary to close the gate completely to prevent leakage from the hopper. Previously, a hydraulic cylinder was used.
Key points for recruitment
Replacement for hydraulic cylinders
- ·high speed
The gate must be closed quickly to ensure the specified injection volume. - ・Reduces the hassle of piping and maintenance
Hydraulic systems require time and cost for piping and also require maintenance.
