Electric cylinder IMTK 40

screwball screwIP54

Overview
IMTK 40 provides controlled electric linear motion for compact industrial machinery. The size 40 body, two ball-screw lead options and selectable inline or parallel motor mounting facilitate integration in space-constrained production equipment and OEM machines.

Key performance values

• Nominal operating force: 900 N
• Maximum speed: 500 mm/s (depends on screw & motor)
• Standard maximum stroke: 600 mm
• Repeatability: <0.03 mm
• Maximum acceleration: 12 m/s²

Main features / advantages

• Two ball-screw lead options (12x5 and 12x10) to match required force and speed
• Inline or parallel motor mounting for flexible machine layouts
• High dynamic capacity (up to 5,000 N depending on screw selection)
• Compact size 40 body suited for limited installation spaces
• Acceleration up to 12 m/s² for high-cycle production
• IP54 standard protection; IP65 optional for harsher environments
• Designed to comply with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC

Applications

• Packaging machinery
• Assembly automation
• Pick-and-place systems
• Compact OEM machinery
• Pneumatic cylinder replacements / conversions
• Light-duty industrial positioning

Notes

• Speed values are based on a motor speed of 3,000 rpm; load, stroke, cycle time and mounting must be evaluated together for final selection.
• Add the chosen stroke value to dimension A when calculating the total assembly length.
