INTRODUCING
THE LATEST
INNOVATION FROM
KETTERER DRIVES
The new short-stroke linear drive (KuLi)
from Ketterer Drives and halstrup-walcher
is characterized by high dynamics and a
large stroke with a compact size. Thanks to
the integrated electronics, the drive is much
easier to control than pneumatic cylinders
and considerably less expensive when the
entire product lifecycle is considered.
The new electrically operated linear drive
is extremely compact and highly dynamic.
With a length of 82 mm the stroke is 40
mm, which can be traversed in less than
100 milliseconds. The standard version of
the KuLi offers thrust forces of up to 300
N. Depending on the task, it is possible to
select the stroke speed, stroke force, stroke
length and mechanical connection to suit the
application.
The drive is especially suitable for use in
automation and conveying technology
as well as in the construction of special
machines, where the use of pneumatic
cylinders has been widespread until now.
Unlike the latter, the KuLi short-stroke linear
drive doesn’t require sealing and throttling
equipment to achieve uniform plunger
speeds. In addition, all auxiliary components
required for pneumatic cylinders such as
hoses, valves, compressed air tanks and
silencers are dispensed with. The short-
stroke linear drive is thus considerably
less expensive. A company achieves the
greatest saving with the use of short-stroke
linear drives when it dispenses with the
entire compressed air system through the
conversion.
A complete range of Ketterer products is
now available to UK customers through SD
