The CASM is a linear unit made of high grade material designed to withstand even the hardest conditions. This linear unit is available with ball screws, in different sizes and stroke lengths to fit a wide range of applications. Coupled with a motor, the CASM becomes an electromechanical device.
A feature of the CASM is its sealing system composed of seals providing IP54S protection, and a sintered filter compensating for pressure differences.

SKF offers diverse attachment options and several motor adapters (axial or parallel mount) to connect the motor of your choice. Such an advantage reduces the design and programming costs.

Whether your application requires high speed, heavy lifting or precision, CASM is the solution to meet your needs.

• Easy integration and fast assembly
• Multi-option modular system
• Highly energy efficient
• Highest levels of precision and repeatability
• Compact size
• Integrated motion controller
• Programmable with drive assistant
• PLC interface
• Integrated brake
• Lubricated for life
• Built-in encoders
• High-quality ball screws

Electromechanical systems have a higher efficiency, and can be used to replace pneumatic systems. Parameterise the cylinder by using the SKF Drive Assistant software and benefit from variable speed, high positioning accuracy, high force and long lifetime. The highly efficient electric cylinder helps to increase productivity with less energy consumption and therefore less CO₂ emissions.
After the parameterisation, the DC powered cylinder can be operated independently by PLC or switches. The motion controller is already built in.
The electromechanical solution offers many benefits such as tremendous energy savings, less contamination, noise and maintenance. Therefore, using an electromechanical solution leads to important cost savings and makes it a better choice for most applications.
