In many industries, small air cylinders have long been the go-to for compact actuation needs. But what if you could get the same — or better — performance without the air.

The EC Series Wire Cylinder from Intelligent Actuator (IAI) delivers a cleaner, simpler, and more precise alternative. By using a wire-driven mechanism powered electrically, the EC Series removes the need for compressed air entirely. This means:

• Simpler System Design: No more routing air lines or dealing with pneumatic fittings.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Fewer leak points and no compressor maintenance.
• Digital Speed Control: Unlike fixed pneumatic speeds, the EC Series offers precise digital tuning for your process.
• Space Savings: Same size as traditional small air cylinders, with equivalent force output.

Applications range from PCB assembly and medical equipment manufacturing to robotic grippers and miniature linear actuators. The EC Series is also ideal for cleanroom applications, where avoiding air exhaust is critical.

If you’re looking to improve efficiency, precision, and ease of integration in your automation system, it may be time to consider going air-free.
