Electric motion offers the perfect solution when precise control, accurate positioning, repeatability, or wear-free operation are essential. Our comprehensive range includes rod-style electric cylinders, linear axis units, and custom multi-axis systems.
ISO standard rod-style ball screw cylinders with or without servo motors, in 6 bore sizes and 2 motor mounting options. Accurate, repeatable, with optional IP65 protection.
Precision single linear axis units with unique flexibility from modular construction using highest quality profile, guide, drive, and accessory components.
Custom-designed multi-axis systems with unlimited guide and drive combinations. Available in H, XY, XZ & XYZ configurations with full technical support.
An electric cylinder is ideal when precise positioning (up to 0.01 mm accuracy), programmable speed profiles, high repeatability, or intermediate positions are required — for example in dosing, measuring, or assembly tasks. A pneumatic cylinder is simpler, faster, and cheaper for basic applications (e.g., clamping, pushing, lifting), while the electric version is more flexible, energy-efficient, and does not require a compressed air network.
The two terms are often used synonymously. In a narrower sense, an electric cylinder is a compact, enclosed unit (similar in form to a pneumatic cylinder), while a linear actuator is a broader category that also includes ball screw, belt-driven, or linear motor solutions. NorTrade’s range includes both types.
Electric actuators require a servo controller or stepper motor controller that manages positioning, speed, and torque. Modern controllers can be integrated into machine control via industrial communication interfaces (IO-Link, Profinet, EtherCAT). NorTrade offers complete system solutions: actuator + controller + programming support — request a quote.
When designing and operating pneumatic systems in the EU, the following standards apply: ISO 4414 (general pneumatic safety requirements), EN ISO 13849 (safety controls within machines), and compliance with the 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive. Key principles: the system must always be depressurized before maintenance, maximum operating pressure is determined by the weakest component, and the pressure rating of pipes/hoses must be regularly inspected.
According to the lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure: shut off the air supply at the main valve, then release residual pressure from the system through the exhaust valve. Verify with a pressure gauge that the pressure is truly zero, and only then perform any work. Never work on a pressurized system.
Send us the original part’s manufacturer code (part number) via the Get a Quote form or email to info@nortrade.hu. Our engineers will identify the product and provide the exact Norgren equivalent, price, and delivery time.
Norgren products are manufactured according to ISO and other international standards, so ISO-standard cylinders, fittings, and valves are physically compatible with same standard products from other manufacturers. NorTrade engineers help with cross-referencing — we provide exact cross-references and technical comparisons. Request a quote.
