Product Portfolio

  • ADE Drive Technology

  • ADE’s electric lifting actuator sets standards.
    At an ever increasing number of operation sites.

    Some technical developments which were developed many decades ago are still driving today’s progress. One such example is ADE’s screw-operated electric lifting actuator which the company developed in 1965 and which it has been manufacturing ever since. To the customer’s specific requirements and for a multitude of industrial applications. Always benefiting from these unrivalled properties: fast, easy commissioning, extremely unsusceptible to malfunctions, even in the harshest applications, superior environmental performance.

    This wealth of experience has formed the ideal basis for the ground-breaking success of ADE’s electric lifting actuator as a drive concept for lock and weir systems. In Europe alone, we have equipped an impressive 200+ lock and weir systems since 1995.

    This success is the ultimate driver for the future. In line with our motto: Full speed ahead for pioneering solutions for a wide range of applications.

      • STANDARD PRODUCT SERIES

      • Our products incorporate a number of solutions in connection with electric lifting actuators as standard.

        • Up to 2000 kN
        • Up to a stroke 12 m

        The constantly increasing pressure to rationalise and automatise has allowed the demand for reliable, low maintenance drives for linear movement to grow rapidly in recent years. The ADE electrical linear actuator which operates on the screw principle presents, in many cases, a technically and economically more favourable variant compared to the other drive systems, in particular due to the low susceptibility to failure and, therefore, offering greater operation security but also due to the low operation and maintenance costs arising from this.

      • HYDRAULIC STEEL WORKS

      • Where the ADE electric linear actuators
        are declared standard.

        • Up to 2.000 kN
        • Up to a stroke 12 m

        ADE-WERK has been producing screw-driven electric linear actuators in special, customised applications, mainly for the multiple industrial use, since approx. 1965. The extensive experiences in this field of drive technology were the basis for the groundbreaking success of the ADE electric linear actuators as the drive concept for navigation locks and barrages since their first installation in 1995.
