RC Series Electric Cylinders for Stepping and Servomotors

Technical synergy of automation & robotics

RTA s.r.l. offers seamless integration between robots and machines, leveraging over 45 years of experience in hardware solutions and a robust understanding of software engineering. They offer electric cylinders that convert electrical energy into precise and controlled linear motion. Their main advantages over pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders are providing flawless force, position and velocity control and cost efficiency.

RTA’s RC series comprises a comprehensive range of electric cylinders that deliver high performance, exceptional durability, and versatility. These cylinders can be customized to match the technical specifications of the application.

Select an appropriate profile of the electric cylinders

The RC series is available in two versions: the one with a recirculating ball profile is designed for handling high tip loads and situations where significant screw rotation speeds and precise control are essential. The other with a trapezoidal profile is more suitable when the peak load in the system is very low or negligible — such as when low loads, low speeds, and lower accuracy are acceptable.

Both series constitute a reliable modular system fully compatible with various types of R.T.A. stepping and servomotors, along with compatible accessories:

• NEMA 23, NEMA 24 and NEMA 34 flange stepping motors
• Servomotors with a power capacity of up to 7500 W
• Integrated electronics stepping motors (COMBO-UNIT solutions)
• Stepping motors with encoder and/or brake
• Stepping or servomotors with gearbox

Key advantages of the RTA’s electric cylinders

• Motion transmission using large, strong and durable ball screw
• Anti-rotation device onboard on all models
• High resistance to radial loads due to oversized stem diameter
• Modular solution with high scalability
• Extremely compact and easy-to-install motor and cylinder solution
• Different options of pitch-screws for motion transmission
• Extensive customization possibilities
• Aluminium structure tested for systems where high strength is required
