QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Electric Cylinders
Should I select a Ball Screw or an Acme Screw Electric Cylinder Model?
The decision to use a Ball Screw or an Acme Screw Electric Cylinder is based on the application. For many applications, a ball screw model is the best choice. Ball screw cylinders are more efficient and therefore require less power than acme screw cylinder in the same application. For low duty cycle applications, for hand-operated applications, or if backdriving is not acceptable consider an acme screw cylinder.

Ball Screw Cylinder is preferred for:	Acme cylinder is preferred for:
Long, predictable life High duty cycles Oscillating motion	Resistance to backdriving Vibration environments High static loads

Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Actuator CASE STUDIES

	MAKING THE RAIN GO AWAY AT MILLEr PARK WITH NOOK ELECTRIC CYLINDERS Achieved a long stroke with heavy load Moved heavy loads with 1-1/2 HP motor Overcame high wind, storm loads Provided an effective solution Read the Full Miller Park Electro-Mechanical Cylinder Case Study

"We had constraints on several fronts," Lanari explains. "Our budget was limited, we had to move heavy metal frame doors a significant distance, and we were somewhat limited on the size of the motor we could put up there. We ended up using a 1-1/2 HP motor with the Nook electric cylinders." – John Lanari, Project Manager for Miller Park project at Uni-Systems As the world's leading authority on large-scale motion technology, Uni-Systems was a natural choice for solving a persistent water problem at Miller Park, the new home stadium of the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Miller Park, which opened at the beginning of the 2001 baseball season, features a retractable roof that opens to provide a panoramic view of the Milwaukee skyline. Opening the roof involves rotating five massive pie-shaped panels around five individual pivots. During stormy weather, the roof leaked in the outfield area, prompting the Southeast Wisconsin Professional Baseball Park District, which owns Miller Park, to search for a consultant to stop the leaks.
