GCA2-30-F0 Intelligent Servo Force-Control Electric Cylinder (Standard Type, Cross Roller Guide Series)

Precision Rigidity, Microgram-Level Touch — GCA2 Series Intelligent Servo Force-Control Electric Cylinder
Built-in High-Power Servo × Innovative Tri-Row Cross Roller Guide × ±1g Ultra-Precision Force Control. Setting a new benchmark for high-rigidity, short-stroke, and high-frequency anti-torsion flexible assembly.
Breaking the bottleneck of rough traditional pneumatic force control and bulky external sensors, GAO GONG brings you a brand-new, highly integrated, closed-loop transmission solution.


I. Product Overview

GAO GONG GCA2-30-F0 series intelligent servo force-control electric cylinder is a cutting-edge execution component specifically engineered for high-precision industrial assembly and testing applications where installation space is tight, and multi-directional mechanical rigidity as well as high bending moment resistance are required in short-stroke operations.

This product deeply integrates a high-power servo motor, a high-resolution absolute encoder, and self-developed force-control algorithms into a slim-profile housing. The internal guidance mechanism features a revolutionary tri-row cross roller guide structure. Benefiting from the mechanical advantage of the 30mm short stroke, it exhibits exceptional anti-torsion and anti-eccentric loading characteristics, achieving an industry-leading repeatability of ±0.005mm. Furthermore, it pushes force-control precision down to the ±1g level, enabling smooth deceleration and delicate "soft landing" without requiring any external sensors, thereby perfectly protecting your core high-value, fragile workpieces.


II. Eight Core Technical Advantages

  1. Built-in High-Power Servo Motor — Powerful Performance, Compact Footprint
    The industrial-grade high-power servo motor is perfectly concealed inside the cylinder housing. The compact, integrated structure significantly releases space inside your equipment while delivering ultimate dynamic response and high thrust output.

  2. Standard Absolute Encoder — No Homing Required After Restart, Safe and Efficient
    The entire series comes standard with an absolute encoder featuring power-off position memory. In the event of an unexpected power outage or system reboot, there is no need for tedious and hazardous "homing" routines, effectively eliminating crash risks and maximizing production uptime.

  3. Tri-Row Cross Roller Guide Structure — Short-Stroke Rigidity Upgrade
    The guidance mechanism adopts high-strength, tri-row cross roller guides. Thanks to the 30mm short-stroke configuration, its side torque resistance in the Mc axis is heavily upgraded, maintaining high traveling straightness even under high-frequency continuous eccentric impacts.

  4. Sensorless High Integration — Cost Reduction, Risk Elimination
    Based on full closed-loop control logic, the electric cylinder operates flawlessly without any external limit switches or home sensors. While simplifying electrical wiring and lowering hardware procurement costs, it completely eliminates downtime risks caused by external sensor failures due to environmental interference.

  5. ±0.005mm Repeatability — Micron-Level Precision Control
    Utilizing grinding-grade ball screws and optimized backlash elimination designs, the repeatability is stabilized within ±0.005mm. No matter how many times it reciprocates, it hits the target position with absolute precision.

  6. Arbitrary Position Staying in Full Stroke — Flexible Digital Programming
    Supports precise deceleration, suspension, or motion switching at any coordinate point within the rated 30mm stroke. The acceleration and deceleration curves are as smooth as silk, and the motion trajectory is fully programmable via the upper-level controller.

  7. High-Precision Force Control & Smart "Soft Landing" — Eradicate Workpiece Damage
    With bidirectional, high-precision force feedback algorithms, the cylinder instantly switches to force-control mode the moment it detects contact with the workpiece, whether executing downward pressing or upward lifting. It achieves a gentle soft landing with zero instantaneous force overshoot, strictly preventing fragile components from being crushed or damaged.

  8. Direct Connection to Upper Controller & Intuitive Interface — Quick Setup for Everyone
    The electric cylinder communicates seamlessly with upper-level controllers (PC/PLC). Paired with GAO GONG's customized, intuitive visualization software, engineers can complete process configurations simply by entering parameters, reducing the development cycle by up to 80%.

💡 Groundbreaking Tech Leap: Force Control Precision Down to ±1g
Benefiting from GAO GONG's years of technical accumulation in low-friction transmission, this electric cylinder possesses an incredibly sharp force sense. It stably senses and outputs subtle forces down to microgram and gram levels, tailored specifically for assembling ultra-thin glass, precision semiconductor chips, micro-springs, and other extremely sensitive components.
