FTP Series High Force Electric Press Actuators

Hydraulic Press Replacement

Based on planetary rollers screw technology, the FTP Series high force electric press actuators were designed to provide very high force in a small package size making them an ideal alternative to hydraulic cylinders in pressing applications. The FTP offers force density not attainable with more common ball screw based electric actuators, up to 15X the life and 2X the force density in most cases.

Programmable and Accurate

Attaining any kind of accuracy with a traditional hydraulic solution requires complicated servo valves that are difficult to set up and need frequent adjustment for optimum performance. Once set, changeover to a different part or mode of operation is equally as troublesome. The all-electric FTP Series utilizes commonly understood servo motor technology, offering accuracy, control and flexibility not available with hydraulics.

• 160 and 215 mm frame sizes
• Up to 355 kN force
• Minimum 1.6 million cycles at max force
• Up to 400 mm/sec linear speed

When starting a new actuator project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine the optimum size actuator for the job. They perform all necessary engineering calculations to make sure the cylinder performs as required, within customer specification, and without unnecessary cost. They will also recommend the appropriate motors, controllers, and drives that will best fit the application selected actuator.

This includes:

• Actuator thrust, travel, and motion profile calculations
• Life calculations
• Ensuring compatibility with the motor
• Specifying the appropriate options such as environmental ratings and limit switches
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc…
• Ensuring all necessary accessories are also specified

When ordering FTP Series High Force Electric Press Actuators as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and accessories necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
