            General information
            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 lifting cylinder which operates on the spindle 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.

            The built-in spindle is operated by an electric motor. With the spindle nut as well as with the precisely directed piston rod bound to it, the rotating movement is converted into a linear movement and transferred to the element to be moved.

            As a result of the closed construction, the device is insensitive to water, dirt and dust. Depending on the nature of the surrounding conditions, special materials, lacquering and possibly additional protection regulations are used.

            Available for selection are an optimally staged lift cylinder program with lift forces from 4 kN to 80 kN, stroke lengths over 3,000 mm and lifting speed up to 800 mm/sec. Lifting cylinders can be optionally fitted with trapezoid thread, ball screw or planetary roller screw drives depending of the operation.

            ADE-WERK has been producing spindle-driven linear electric 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 linear electric actuators as the drive concept for navigation locks and barrages since their first installation in 1995.


            Compared to the previously used outdated electromechanical drives and the electro-hydraulic drives installed since the 1980s, which are hazardous to the environment, these linear electric actuators, which were specially conceived for this application and which have in the mean time become standardised, have prevailed. ADE’s linear electric actuators have proven themselves repeatedly and become indispensable due to their quick and uncomplicated commissioning procedure and minimal error-rate, even under very tough and challenging operating conditions.

            The previously used, conventional electromechanical drive, which consisted mostly of open reduction stages, swivelling segments, and driving rods, was not only problematic with regard to environmental pollution but also required a lot of maintenance - due to its open grease lubrication. In case of an electric oil-hydraulic drive, leakages can never be excluded and pose a considerable potential danger. Oil and tube change intervals, as well as regular leakage checks, increase the amount of maintenance required.

            In this way, the further development to the currently used ADE linear electric actuator, with all of its known advantages, became a necessary and logical consequence.The ADE linear electric actuator, as a completely encapsulated, electro-mechanical drive unit, consists basically of a drive motor, screw drive with bearing, housing and the extendable and retractable piston rod as the external power transmission element.

            Its essential advantages compared with the previous, conventional drive variants along the waterway, are documented by numerous references in the area of hydraulic steel structures. In the mean time, 900 drives of this kind have been delivered and are used all over Europe in over 150 sluices and weir systems.
