How To Select The Right Electric Cylinder Actuator

Selection Guide: KMJ2.5T/H/AS/300/TP/SLR

1. KMJ2.5T - KMJ20T model Electric Cylinder Actuators are withstand the maximum static load capacity 2.5tons to 20tons, not dynamic load capacity. The dynamic loads depends on stroke, travel speed and working conditions. About the safety dynamic load capacity, please contact us.

Single lead acme screw electric cylinder actuators are self-locking, vibration loads must be avoided, otherwise, self-locking function will be failure. Double lead acme screw or all ball screw electric cylinder actuators offer increased travel speed and require a brake or external locking device to hold position. 

2. Gear Ratio

H: High gear ratio.

L: Slow gear ratio.

Custom other gear ratios.

Travel Length per turn of worm shaft = screw pitch / ratio.

3. Basic Designs

AS: Upright Translating.

CS: Upright Anti-rotation.

Note: The pushrod of AS actuators must be attached to the guided load which prevents the pushrod from rotating. If your application involves a load which is unattached, unguided or the load is free to rotate and not translate, then CS actuators are required to prevent pushrod rotation.

4. Stroke

300: 300mm stroke. Custom Stroke.

Stroke is travel length expressed in millimeter(mm) or inches and not the actual screw length.

Note: long stroke screw jacks with compression loads, please calculate maximum critical buckling force.

5. End Conditions

TP: Top plate.

CE: Clevis end(male clevis).

PE: Plain end.

TE: Threaded end.

BJ: Ball joint.

FE: Fork end(female clevis).

Custom pushrod ends.

6. Input Shaft(worm) Code and Motor Flange Input Code (Top View)

SSL: Single Input, Left Side Shaft.

SSR: Single Input, Right Side Shaft.

SLR: Double Input Shafts.

SSLMFR: Left Side Shaft and Right Side Motor Flange (Motor Mounts).

MFR: Right Side Motor Flange (Motor Mounts).

SSRMFL: Right Side Shaft and Left Side Motor Flange (Motor Mounts).

MFL: Left Side Motor Flange (Motor Mounts).

7. Additional Options(Accessories)
