Electric Cylinders

Electric cylinders replace pneumatic cylinders where precise position, controlled speed or repeatable force matter. The IMI Bahr E/809000 range gives you the ISO 15552 cylinder format in an electric drive — same mounting, same envelope, but a ball-screw + servo motor instead of compressed air. Ø 32 to 100 mm bore equivalents, maintenance-free, long life, with a wide accessory range. The right upgrade path when a pneumatic cylinder no longer meets the cycle-precision or energy target.

Position, speed and force — all controllableServo-driven ball-screw gives you closed-loop position, programmable speed profiles and current-limited force. Pneumatic cylinders are typically only end-stop-controlled.

Drop-in pneumatic replacementIMI Bahr E/809000 follows the ISO 15552 cylinder format — the same mounting flanges and ISO 15552 interface as standard pneumatic profile cylinders. Replace a station with minimal mechanical changes (it still needs a motor, controller and electrical supply).

Maintenance-free, long lifeAnodised aluminium barrel and end-covers, internal ball-screw — designed for sustained industrial duty. No compressed-air supply means no FRL, no condensate, no leakage cost.

Frequently asked questions — Electric Cylinders

When the application needs precise position control (mid-stroke stops, programmable position), controlled speed profiles (smooth start / stop, ramp), repeatable force (current-limited), or when the lifetime air cost of a high-cycle pneumatic cylinder outweighs the higher capex of an electric one. For simple end-to-end work at moderate cycle rates, pneumatic remains cheaper.

Yes — the E/809000 follows the ISO 15552 cylinder format, so the mounting flanges, rod-end thread and overall envelope match standard ISO pneumatic profile cylinders. You only need the electric drive (motor + controller) and a suitable servo-drive supply (200-400 V AC depending on drive) instead of compressed air.

Both. The E/809000 is available with an integrated servo motor (turn-key, easy commissioning) or without — you bring your own motor sized to the application. Ordering without motor is useful when standardising on a single drive family across a plant.

E/809000 speeds range up to 1.6 m/s depending on bore size and load. Power up to 3.3 kW. Force scales with bore and ball-screw lead — for a precise sizing, share your load, stroke, cycle target and duty cycle and our engineers will calculate the right configuration.
