Costs to 5 % of Pneumatic Solutions

cylinders can result in huge cost and emission savings across the board . So much of our industry uses compressed air that is often regarded So as much the fourth of our utility industry , after uses electricity compressed , natural gas air that and is water often . However regarded , as the fourth compressed utility , after air is electricity more expensive , natural than gas and the other water three . However utilities , compressed when air evaluated is more expensive on a per unit than energy the other delivered three basis utilities . when evaluated on a per unit energy delivered basis . Quin Systems , exclusive UK suppliers of LinMot Linear Motors for over 25 Quin years Systems , can help , exclusive you calculate UK suppliers the predicted of LinMot carbon Linear and Motors energy for savings over 25

years achieved , can by help switching you calculate from a the pneumatic predicted solution carbon to and a linear energy motion savings achieved solution . by switching from a pneumatic solution to a linear motion solution . LinMot , one of the world ’ s leading manufacturers of industrial linear LinMot motors , one has of released the world a new ’ s leading component manufacturers of its LinMot of industrial Designer linear software motors has that released can quantify a new just component how energy of efficient its LinMot its Designer solution is software , and the that sizeable can quantify return on just investment how energy their efficient motors its can solution provide is , over and pneumatics the sizeable . return on investment their motors can provide over pneumatics .

Example

Take an example within the handling and assembling sector . Linear actuation is required on the horizontal plane to move items through to the next stage of the production process . A single LinMot Linear motor with guide can replace a traditional 63mm diameter rodless air cylinder for this task , ultimately reducing annual energy cost by over 10,000 EUR and CO2 emissions by over 26,000 kg .

The return on investment is significant . Energy saved by using a single electrically driven actuator over a basic traditional pneumatic cylinder has the potential to cover its higher initial outlay within a very short timeframe , typically less than a year .

Combined with the extraordinarily long operation life of LinMot Linear Motors and the next to zero servicing requirements mean LinMot ’ s solution will continue working for years .
