The right electric cylinder for any application every time with HEZ series electric cylinders.
“We cover everything in terms of electric cylinders, big or small, from simple components right up to custom engineering and complete drive systems – and all from a single supplier,” a HYDAC spokesperson says.
Right drive system guidance
The spokesperson says HYDAC can assist in cases when:
- A person is looking for an electric cylinder and a manufacturer which can supply it
- A person requiring help selecting an electric cylinder or requiring a custom-made solution
- A person interested in the latest technological developments to future-proof machines and applications
“When it comes to drive solutions for your machine, we are always aware of the latest information and will gladly share our know-how,” the spokesperson highlights.
“There are now many things that can be made simpler, more efficient, and easier to maintain in the world of cylinders.”
Electric cylinder portfolio with extensive forces and voltage ranges
HYDAC’s electric cylinders come with extensive forces and voltage ranges and in various types.
Force ranges and voltage ranges
Force range: 1kN to 500kN
Voltage range:
- AC: 230V to 400V
- DC: 12V to 48V
HYDAC assists the customer to select, integrate and commission an electric cylinder.
Integration of different spindle types
HYDAC integrates different spindle types into the HYDAC HEZ electric cylinder depending on the application.
Various mounting solutions and custom solutions are available.

Electric cylinder applications
Electric cylinder control options are as follows:
- Force control
- Position control
- Speed control
- Synchronous operation of multiple axes
- Sequential control
- Motion profile
- Control is possible without an external linear position measurement system or force measurement system

Electric cylinders easy to integrate
HYDAC electric cylinders (HEZ) are easy to integrate and require no maintenance, allowing simple implementation of linear movements.
In a HEZ unit, the rotation of the electric motor is converted into a linear movement using a screw drive.
The gearing and the drive can be selected to realise different positioning, forces, speeds, and duty cycles.
“Just as the KineSys variable speed drive for hydraulic systems, various types of drives can be selected,” the spokesperson says.
“The range extends from a simple drive to a high precision positioning drive. The different versions have different connections for the electric motor, offering diverse installation variants.”
