Electrical alternative
Electromechanics is the best alternative to hydraulics & pneumatics!
Electromechanics stand for high sustainability and are becoming increasingly important. Their high energy efficiency and clean, leak-free operation are fact-based advantages compared to hydraulic and pneumatic solutions.
We know the right approach for a successful technology transition to electromechanical solutions.
Switch to the sustainable and technically better solution with us!
- Efficient and sustainable operation
- Significant increase in productivity and flexibility
- Increased process reliability and production quality
- Service-friendly and low-maintenance
- Less installation cost/time
- High level of working comfort and safety
Efficient and environmentally friendly
- Up to 60% less energy consumption than hydraulics and pneumatics
- High efficiency of 80% and more
- No compression, start-up, overrun or pressure losses (pipe friction)
- No storage of oil/air pressure necessary
- No or low energy requirement at standstill
- Storage and reuse of braking energy
- No oversizing of the drives (3 times the peak force for 3s)
- No heating or cooling of oil necessary
- Clean, no leakage oil losses, contamination or waste oil disposal

Significant increase in productivity and flexibility
- Shorter process times thanks to high cycle rates
- High speed with precise control
- Optimized motion sequences thanks to high precision and controllability of movements
- Complex movement profiles possible
- Minimal wastage, e.g. during dosing
- Electrical synchronization and therefore simultaneous movement of several axes
- No temperature dependency of the hydraulic oils
- Massively faster changeover times without mechanical adjustments (software!)
- Minimal downtimes for format/product changes
Increased process reliability and production quality
- High precision even with simultaneously moving axes
- High reproducibility, minimal variation in production, consistently high quality
- High rigidity, no movement fluctuations with changing loads
Service-friendly: reduction in operating and maintenance costs
- Minimal downtimes, extremely low maintenance, low maintenance costs
- Leak-free and clean operation, no oil and filter changes etc.
- Elimination of the high filtration requirements
High working comfort and safety
- Noise reduction of up to 30% (minus 2-5 dB)
- No leakage or bursting pipes, no (hot) oil or slippery floors
- High machine safety: integrated safety functions and monitoring
Low installation effort and space requirement
- Easier and faster installation with hybrid cable
- No need to lay rigid hoses or pipes
- No filters, valves, seals and trays, agregate, heat exchangers
- No sealing problems
