Motion Control Kit Reduces Design Time

The e-MOVEKIT helps manufacturers of mobile machinery simplify the specification, assembly and testing of electric linear actuation systems. The kit was developed in response to the trend towards electrification of motion systems in mobile and off-highway equipment—in particular, replacement of hydraulic devices with electric actuators that offer high power density, greater force capacity, energy efficiency, safety and reliability. The kit is ideal for both prototype development projects as well as full-scale equipment builds.

The kit is a complete system with all the components needed to drive and control linear motion in mobile machinery fitted with a 24-volt power source, with either analog or CAN-bus standard controls. At the heart of each kit is an advanced, modular electric actuator. The actuator is designed to be used with a wide range of high-performance motors, gearboxes and end attachments, all of which are supplied in the kit. Each kit also includes all the connectors, cables and mounting attachments needed for installation.

Ewellix electric actuators offer a range of benefits. For example, regenerative braking can be initiated when each actuator is being driven under load. Safety features—such as a descent speed limiter, back-up nut and electromechanical motor braking—can easily be incorporated.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
