As a worldwide leader in fluid power cylinder products, Parker has combined the best of both worlds into one unique product. All the benefits of electromechanical control and cleanliness combined with the structural rigidity and durability of a traditional hydraulic tie rod cylinder.

Flexibility & Versatile Programmability

In applications where high loads are required, roller screws offer a very attractive solution:

• Servo motors and controls feature simplified programming

• Electromechanical control systems provide infinite programmability

• Performance advantages not easily obtained by comparable fluid power technology include multiple move profiles, adjustable acceleration and deceleration, force control, and absolute positioning capabilities

These features allow the system to easily adapt to changing application conditions and performance requirements with minimal modification.

Design Considerations

Installation

Due to the reduced number of components required for a complete system, the commissioning time required for operation is significantly reduced relative to comparable fluid power systems. This allows system builders to quickly install, troubleshoot, and test system capabilities faster and more reliably than other alternatives.

Anti-Rotation

Anti-rotation can now be achieved in XFC actuators thanks to a new design that incorporates a keying feature on the internal surface of the tubular body. This option can be configured through our standard part number structure.

Maintenance

Roller screw cylinder systems require little or no maintenance when compared to their fluid power alternatives, while still delivering long life and high performance. Series XFC cylinders are designed to be low maintenance with the factory installed full synthetic lubrication. For high duty cycle applications (>50%), oil filled cylinders are available with ports for recirculation as required.
