Introducing the new Power Cylinder, perfect for replacing hydraulic cylinders!

Power Cylinder Worm Series is an electric cylinder that is ideal for replacing hydraulic cylinders.
High thrust is achieved by using high-precision worm gears and highly efficient Ball screw developed through Tsubaki's technology.

Comparison between Power Cylinder and hydraulic cylinders

  • No hydraulic piping required, reducing the risk of oil leaks
  • High energy saving effect by reducing standby power consumption
  • Simply connect a three-phase power supply. No piping required, easy installation
  • Brake motor for accurate speed and position control
  • Secure load retention in place, even at any position or during a power outage

For example, it is ideal for replacing hydraulic cylinders in the following applications:

Ships/Port Facilities
In the port equipment industry, there is a global trend to move away from hydraulic cylinders and towards hybrid and all-electric systems using electric cylinders in order to prevent marine pollution caused by oil leaks and promote energy conservation.

When changing the direction of the transfer crane, the tires rotate 90 degrees. The worm series can also handle heavy loads.

Yard machine boom elevation
Raises and lowers the booms of yard machines such as stackers, reclaimers, unloaders, and ship loaders.
  • It can handle large loads.
  • Two units can also be operated in tandem.

Activate the lever to retrieve the lifeboat.
Unlike hydraulic cylinders, Power Cylinder do not have hydraulic piping, so there is a low risk of oil leaks, and water and marine pollution caused by oil leaks can be prevented.
