Electric cylinder, as a device that converts the rotary motion of motor into linear motion, has a very broad application prospect in the fields of industrial automation and construction machinery.
bauma China
At the just-concluded 2024 bauma China, more than 3,400 exhibitors from 32 countries and regions around the world made their debut. They include construction machinery, mining building materials machinery, transmission and fluid technology, new energy technology and intelligent manufacturing equipment and many other industrial applications.
At the exhibition, most of the transmission components on engineering vehicles are hydraulic cylinders, but a few enterprises have begun to try and apply automatic transmission components such as electric cylinders on traditional mechanical equipment.
Can the hydraulic cylinders on construction machinery be replaced by more advanced electric cylinders? Let's discuss the feasibility of replacing hydraulic cylinder with electric cylinder and the advantages of electric cylinder.
Electric cylinder composition
Electric cylinder is a modular product that integrates servo motor and screw rod, and converts the rotary motion of servo motor into linear motion through screw rod.
Through the precise control of the motor, the electric cylinder can achieve micron-level positioning accuracy, which can reach 0.005mm, and can realize complex motion trajectory and speed control. In contrast, the accuracy of hydraulic cylinder is low, which is easily affected by factors such as hydraulic oil leakage and oil temperature change.
Through electronic buffering and braking control at the end, the electric cylinder can ensure that there is no noise and vibration during operation, which reduces the influence of equipment and improves production efficiency.
The position of the electric cylinder can be detected in real time by the microprocessor, and the speed can be quickly reduced when it moves to the end, so as to realize the end buffer control and reduce the impact and wear.
The price of electric cylinder is relatively low, and the installation and maintenance costs are also low, which reduces the total cost of ownership. In addition, the electric cylinder does not need a complicated hydraulic system, which reduces the components such as hydraulic pump, hose and hydraulic valve, making the construction machinery lighter and more compact, thus reducing the weight and volume of the vehicle.
The electric cylinder has no complicated hydraulic system, so the maintenance cost is low and the maintenance process is relatively simple. Hydraulic cylinders need to be inspected and replaced regularly, such as seals and hydraulic oil, so the maintenance work is cumbersome and prone to leakage and other failures.
Electric cylinders only consume electric energy when they need to exercise, which is more energy-saving than hydraulic systems. In addition, the electric cylinder has no risk of hydraulic oil leakage, which reduces environmental pollution.
Lifting machine
Electric cylinders have low environmental requirements and can work in harsh environments such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity and dust, while hydraulic cylinders have high environmental requirements, especially the cleanliness and temperature of hydraulic oil.
In addition to the advantages of "changing oil into electricity" in construction machinery and industrial automation, electric cylinders have been widely used in machining, logistics, printing, textile and other fields, especially in occasions with high dynamic and high precision requirements, the advantages of electric cylinders are more obvious.
To sum up, the application of electric cylinder in construction machinery has obvious advantages, especially in cost, maintenance, environmental adaptability and accuracy. With the continuous development of electric technology, the substitution trend of electric cylinder in construction machinery is more and more obvious. Electric cylinders will play a more important role in industrial automation and many fields in the future, bringing more convenience and value to people's lives and work.
