Pressing Sinter Metal Application

Customer Challenge
Our customer is a machine builder in Germany. They were looking for less maintenance and better performance than they were achieving with their current hydraulic cylinder. Specifically, they wanted to eliminate hydraulic fluid leaks and the use of oil in general.
 

Solution
They chose the Exlar® FT60 & FT80 due to the long life and robustness offered by our roller screw technology. The customer also considered ball screw-based electric actuators from a competitor, but the life they offered would not meet the customer’s requirement.
 

Results
In addition to eliminating oil from their production process, the high precision offered by the Exlar FT actuators increased part quality and the significant reduction in maintenance led to increased part production.
