EMC-HP Electromechanical Cylinders Now Offer Up to 250 kN Force
Editor's Note: This product listing was originally published 11/30/2022 and was updated on 6/10/2025 to include the addition of the new 190 and 220 sizes for the EMC-HP series that now offers forces up to 250 kN.
The EMC-HP electromechanical cylinder series now offers two new high-power versions that handle a range of heavy-duty applications with forces up to 250 kN. The 190 and 220 sizes can be implemented in heavy-duty applications with high axial forces up to 250 kN using direct drive or a parallel spur gear configuration. Dynamic load capacity (Cdyn) has also been increased from 189.5 to 473 kN.
An integrated sensor and display package provides lubrication recommendations or oil temperature, depending on the version, for better productivity. As part of the digital quick selection, an oil bath can be selected as a lubrication option for continuous load applications.
Electromechanical Cylinder EMC-HP (High Power)
Published 11/30/2022
The electromechanical cylinders (EMCs) are available in a high-force, high-precision, low-maintenance version, the EMC-HP. Designed for heavy loads up to 100 kN, the actuators are robust, compact, and low maintenance. Based on the reliable planetary screw drive, users will benefit from continuous power even under harsh conditions due to both the new oil-bath lubrication and the optional water cooling directly on the screw itself.
The EMC-HPs are currently in 115, 130, and 160 sizes (housing diameter) with protection class IP65 and can be used for a range of different heavy-duty applications with strokes of up to 59 in (1,500 mm). Applications include pressing, forming, riveting, tensioning, positioning, and testing.
Each EMC-HP uses Bosch Rexroth's planetary screw assembly to meet extremely high standards in terms of control accuracy and dynamics. With a dynamic load capacity (Cdyn) of up to 189.5 kN, high loads can be quickly and accurately moved as part of an energy-efficient process, even in complex motion profiles, with axial forces of up to 100 kN and at speeds of up to 0.83 m/s.
The low-maintenance design of the planetary screw assembly also has a positive impact on lubrication intervals. Additionally, the seals can be replaced in just a few steps if required.
With their compact dimensions, lightweight aluminum housing, and single-cable solutions in connection with most drives, the EMC-HPs can be quickly and easily integrated into machine tools on site.
