The Parker ET Series electric cylinders combine an unparalleled design with a variety of options that make it easy to integrate into both new and existing applications. Produced to hard metric ISO standards, the ET Series can mount into existing fluidpower cylinder applications, adding infinite programmability to the durability and long life expected of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Combined with a Parker Hannifin motor and control system, the ET Series arrives at the customer”s dock complete and ready to mount.

This site allows you to try this remote capability directly in your Internet Browser. Innovative-IDM‘s applications engineers can show you how Parker Interact Xpress can bring your facility into more efficient and modern operations.
Innovative-IDM features Parker gearhead from Parker EMS. Parker is a big company with decades of experience in motion and gears. I found this tidbit about “lost motion” in gears on the Parker Electromechanical Blog. In addition to Parker, Innovative-IDM also carries Wittenstein (formerly Alpha Gears) gearheads as well.
Lost motion contributes to position error, can complicate control efforts, and can introduce magnified dynamic loading on components. Many reduction technologies try to minimize lost motion and its effects. When evaluating various reduction technologies it is usually not sufficient to consider only backlash, but rather all of the lost motion contributors which would include the torsional stiffness of the gearhead.
For a pair of meshed gears, backlash is the amount by which a tooth space exceeds the thickness of an engaging tooth. For a gearhead, backlash is the amount of motion the meshed gears have when the input is held fixed. Torsional stiffness on the other hand may include such things as deflection of components, bearing support, etc.
Theoretically, perfect gears do not require backlash to operate satisfactorily. However, manufacturing tolerances, bearing dimensions, thermal considerations, and other practical considerations result in unavoidable backlash.
At Parker we measure the backlash of every Stealth gearhead by locking the input and applying to the output a torque of 2% of the gearheads rated torque. Measurements are taken at 6 points around an output revolution to ensure constant, low backlash throughout the entire cycle. Torsional stiffness is maximized with our high tooth to tooth contact ratio, and integral ring gear machined directly into the steel housing. The combination provides a well balanced product that will minimize the lost motion of any application.
You may think of Parker Hannifin as gantry systems, extruded aluminum, hydraulics, etc. That’s all true, and more. This Cleveland-based multinational behemoth is one of Innovative-IDM’s blue chip channel partners — as big and talented as they come.
But in 1918, Aurthur Parker was just tagging along as a profiteering pilot fish to Henry Ford’s automobile industry and the burgeoning aviation sector, designing and providing control systems for both further transportation must-haves. Not to mention the retooling of its factories for the monumental World War II effort.

Parker evidently is stepping it up on the turnaround time for its newest actuators. The total specs are here, but 10-day lead time is excellent and much appreciated by all of us here and Innovative-IDM and our customers.
The Parker OSPE..B belt driven linear actuator is a cost effective solution designed for light to medium industrial applications requiring high speeds and long travels. The OSPE..B comes standard with an internal slider bearing guide, and is part of the Origa System Plus family, a family well known for high performance, high quality and low cost of ownership.
3 bore sizes available: 25, 32 and 50
Max normal load = 850 N (190 lbs)
Standard travel up to 5 meters
±0.05 mm/m bidirectional repeatability
Internal slider bearing guide standard
Externally attached bearing options for higher loads and moments
Looking for DC Drives? Innovative Now Carries Parker SSD
Yes, we know Parker SSD is a leader in AC drives as well, but having another blue chip option for DC drives is key. Innovative Automation now is a key distributor for Parker SSD products, including:
* DC and AC Drives
* AC System Drives
* AC and DC Servo Drives
* AC and DC Servo Motors
* HMI Touchscreens
Parker SSD has drives ranging from fractional to 2,000 HP. And don’t forget about that big badboy AC890PX High Power Modular AC Drive. So easy, it’s almost plug and play. So big and bad, it’s a drive that has it’s own Web site — www.ac890px.com. Ever experienced Innovative’s quoting system? Give us a try on your next Parker SSD request.
A buddy of mine in East Texas sent me this poignant photo of his truck’s radio antenna. It has nothing to do with Yaskawa VFD drives, Omron sensors and PLCs, Yaskawa motion control, SMC pneumatics, WAGO I/O, Parker IPS, ABB switches, field service, electronic component repairs, custom panel manufacturing or anything about automation or controls — all of which are sold by Innovative Automation, which is the home of LEGENDARY customer service. But it does illustrate how quickly things can change. One second, you’re flying along. The next . . . .
It’s so easy that your could literally draw your design on a beverage napkin. Parker will render and CAD drawing and we can put the project together doing all of the engineering and assembly if you wish. Call us at 877.906.2100 and let us help you.
