Actuator and Lifting Tables - worldwide

The core of ADE's production spectrum is the design and development, production and sale of linear electric actuators and scissor-lift platforms for many different applications.
ADE linear actuators and lifting platforms are used by industry and trade in medical and marine engineering, in aeronautics, packaging technology and conveyor technique. In the automotive and aircraft industry they are used for testing, simulation and solar energy plants.
 
Product Line Up
Actuator
A milestone in linear actuator development was the introduction of ADE’s special designs for the operation of sluice gates and weirs in shipping canals, since their first installation in 1995. Prior to this most control mechanisms used in this sector were either hydraulic cylinder operated or used conventional screw jacks with lead screw exposed to the elements. Hydraulic cylinders with multiple connections for piping to the motor driven power packs are labour intensive for maintenance and there is frequently the risk of hydraulic fluid leakage. Similarly the exposed threaded bar of screw jacks requires grease lubrication and is at best, protected by a bellows. Using hydraulic cylinders or screw jacks in waterway applications creates the risk of environmental pollution.

Contrast this with a totally enclosed electric linear actuator with specially selected materials of construction, long-life internal mounted screw drive and high specification gear motor drive, which has many fundamental advantages.
  • Lubricants cannot leak into the water due to the fully enclosed design and high-grade seals employed.
  • The linear push-pull forces are generated electro-mechanically
  • Integrated adjustable controls provide for stroke adjustment and control of maximum thrust force to provide precise control of gate motion and firm closure.
  • Maintenance costs reduced substantially due to high wearing life of components and long interval lubrication.
  • Standardised construction minimises spare part requirements, especially in comparison with hydraulic cylinder actuation.
  • High mechanical efficiency drive system combined with power used only when operating (as against hydraulics) means lower energy costs
  • Low noise emissions <60dB (A) possible
 
Over 500 installations have now been supplied proving many times over that ADE’s electric linear actuator designs are easy to install, extremely reliable and very robust, sufficient to satisfy even the most extreme operating conditions (e.g. fully submerged).

The many European references for ADE actuators in this demanding sector are fully documented by the municipal and state authorities responsible for shipping canals and waterways. This includes major shipping canal gates (double gates).
  • Gate drives for radial gate, compound gate, wedge roller gate, rotating gate, etc.
  • Weir drives for: fish gates, weir plates, etc.
  • Bridge drives for: bridge actuation, bridge locking, etc.
  • Lock gates for pleasure boats and flap gates
  • Barrage drives for flood control gate

  • Typical applications are: automation equipment, door and window drives, adjustable office furniture,
    solar shading, ventilation flaps and in the patient sector.
  • The range of force capacities and speeds mean that ADE actuators can offer the optimum solution
    for many applications.

Lifting Table
As the ADE spindle driven roller-cam scissor lift has achieved an international reputation for quality and reliability since 1995, a variant of the ADE roller-cam design, using hydraulic cylinder drive has been introduced as well.
172 of these lift stations were recently selected by General Motors and installed on the final assembly line at Lansing in Michigan USA.

The significant advantage of ADE’s roller-cam design is that the lift load is translated into a virtually constant pull force over the entire lift stroke. This means less resp. minimized wear and a higher mechanical efficiency can be achieved. As a consequence, this design has been widely adopted by systems integrators and the automotive industry as being eminently suitable for continuous, high duty rated manufacturing.
 
ADE scissor lifts are in general guaranteed for 24 months operation. Maintenance is limited to a single annual inspection. The actuator drive assembly can be interchanged in no more than 15-20 minutes. These are important factors which in addition to the inherent high quality and reliability, explain the very considerable success of the roller-cam scissor lift.
The more recent hydraulic cylinder drive ADE offers a variable speed, quiet running hydraulic power pack or frequency inverter control. The most recent development is a belt drive.
ADE roller-cam scissor lifts are now offered in three variants
Lead or ball-screw mechanical actuator drive
Hydraulic cylinder drive
Belt drive system

Service
Maintenance training can be provided on-site or at ADE works by a team of experienced specialists. On-site assembly and commissioning support can also be offered. A 24 hour contact service is available.
