5-Year Total Cost Breakdown

The difference in operation costs is small because the Electric FLCR Series continues to consume current when clamping, but the Pneumatic LCR Series does not consume air when clamping.

Actuator dimensions

The Electric FLCR Series has the same dimensions and equivalent thrust as the Pneumatic LCR Series.It also saves space because it does not require a stopper for stroke adjustment.

Activity Status

Because the Pneumatic LCR Series is limited to 200mm/s at the Max. speed when the stroke adjustment stopper is attached, the Electric FLCR Series takes less time to position.
