The Important Role of Low-Friction Electric Cylinders in Modern IndustrySep 16, 2025

In modern industry, where high efficiency, energy conservation, and environmental protection are pursued, the limitations of pneumatic cylinders make them increasingly unable to meet production needs, and the demand for industrial upgrading has become more urgent. Integrating various advanced electronic and mechanical components such as motors, controllers, and transmission mechanisms, low-friction electric cylinders are gradually replacing the application of pneumatic cylinders and becoming a backbone force in industrial production.

The working principle of low-friction electric cylinders is based on the ingenious combination of motor drive and mechanical transmission. A low-friction electric cylinder mainly consists of a motor, a reducer, a transmission mechanism, and a piston rod. The motor, as the power source, provides rotational motion. By controlling the current, voltage, and speed of the motor, the low-friction electric cylinder can precisely control the position, speed, and acceleration of the piston rod, achieving accurate control of motion.

In the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing, low-friction electric cylinders play an important role.

Links such as battery assembly and motor assembly of new energy vehicles have extremely strict requirements on the precision and reliability of equipment. Taking the assembly of battery modules as an example, it is necessary to accurately stack and connect multiple battery cells together. Low-friction electric cylinders can precisely control the assembly force and position, avoiding damage to the batteries, while ensuring assembly quality and improving the performance and safety of battery modules.

In the battery production workshop of new energy vehicles, after the introduction of automated assembly equipment with low-friction electric cylinders, the production efficiency of battery modules has increased by 50%, and product quality has been significantly improved.

In the medical equipment manufacturing industry—such as surgical robots and medical device testing equipment—there are extremely high requirements for the precision, stability, and cleanliness of actuators.

The high precision and low maintenance characteristics of low-friction electric cylinders make them an ideal choice for such equipment.

In surgical robots, low-friction electric cylinders are used to drive the movement of robotic arms, enabling sub-millimeter-level precise operations. This provides doctors with more accurate surgical assistance and improves the success rate and safety of surgeries.
