Electric pistons

An equivalent replacement

This development could revolutionize industrial automation, because the electric pistons submitted to the manus® competition could, according to the developer, replace conventional pneumatic pistons. Perfect functionality is guaranteed by iglidur® plain bearings, combined with a drylin® aluminium shaft. The system is very durable, non-magnetic, and, because it requires no lubrication, is absolutely maintenance-free.
