Process

How your trial works

Our trial phase allows you to evaluate our actuators under application-oriented conditions—structured, transparent, and with full technical support. We guide you through the entire process, from defining your requirements and selecting the right actuator to providing all necessary parameters and programs. Throughout the trial, our engineering and support team is on hand to assist with any questions, adjustments, or the analysis of your initial results.

Once the trial phase is complete, you can decide whether to keep the unit or return it, based on your practical experience.

Technical coordination

We will clarify your requirements and work together to select the right actuator.

Sample order

We will provide you with an evaluation proposal for a 30-day trial, after which you can place your order.

Trial phase

During the testing phase, our engineering and support team is fully at your disposal. We will also provide you with the appropriate parameter sets or programs for the drives and their corresponding drive controllers.

If you opt for on-site test support from our team, you will receive a detailed report containing all relevant data, including parameterization, motion profiles with performance curves, and the results of wear or load measurements.

Decision

Once you have completed the test, you can decide whether you would like to keep the device or return it to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Would you like to learn more about liteECO® actuators? Here you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about performance, dynamics, integration, and applications. We’d be happy to provide personalized advice for your specific needs.

What forces can liteECO® actuators generate?

Depending on the configuration, liteECO® actuators can generate static forces of up to 750 N (approx. 75 kg vertical load). The recommended continuous load for dynamic movements is 33–50% of the maximum force, depending on the thermal interface. We would be happy to advise you on designing your specific motion profile. Please refer to the data sheets on the product pages for the latest technical specifications.

Why electromechanics instead of pneumatics?

‍

With liteECO® actuators, you can replace complex pneumatic systems with a compact, electric solution that offers several advantages:

  • Fewer components: No valves, hoses, compressed air lines, or maintenance units. The entire infrastructure is reduced to a minimum.
  • Lower maintenance requirements: Electromechanical systems require no leak monitoring, no compressed air treatment, and no regular seal inspections. Wear is clearly measurable and can be replaced as needed.
  • Higher energy efficiency: Pneumatic systems inherently lose energy due to compression, leaks, and standby consumption. liteECO® operates directly on electricity, saving up to 90% energy compared to pneumatic systems.
  • Simpler commissioning: No compressed air supply, no compressor, no pressure regulation. Plug it in, configure the parameters, and get started.
  • Sustainability: Lower energy consumption, fewer leaks, less material wear, and a refurbishment concept that conserves resources and significantly extends the actuator’s service life.
  • Precision & controllability: Electromechanics enables precise positioning, force control, and process monitoring—functions that pneumatic systems can achieve only with considerable additional effort.

This makes it clear: liteECO® doesn’t just replace pneumatics—it improves the machine’s efficiency, maintainability, and sustainability.

What is the service life of liteECO® actuators?

Depending on the model, the wear parts of liteECO® actuators have service lives ranging from 1 million to 50 million cycles. Typically, the nut in the plunger — which is made of high-performance plastic or bronze, depending on the variant — wears out first.

Wear can be detected early through predictive maintenance functions and, in many cases, compensated for by the control system. Thanks to our refurbishment concept, worn nuts can be replaced quickly, easily, and cost-effectively by replacing the plunger.

This ensures that the actuator remains fully operational and economically viable over multiple life cycles.‍

How are the liteECO® actuators mechanically installed?

The liteECO® size 50 has a flange dimension (width) of 50 mm, with a hole spacing of 42 × 42 mm and a 20 mm centering ring. Depending on the model, there are various flange mounting options (from the front, from the rear, or as a through-hole). Please refer to the data sheets on the product pages for the latest technical specifications.‍
