About the TL-Series Electric Cylinders
TL-Series electric cylinders feature multi-turn high resolution encoders and are available with
24V DC brakes. The TL-Series motor rotates a ballscrew drive that converts rotary motion into
linear movement. This linear movement results in the piston rod extending and retracting from
the electric cylinder housing.
The TL-Series electric cylinders have been designed for exact positioning at high speeds.
IMPORTANT
The TLAR-Axxxxx-x2A electric cylinders are non-braking. When there is no input torque, the piston rod can be
moved freely. You can achieve self-locking of your motion system by using motors with an integrated brake or
with high self-braking torque.
