World premiere on K 2010!
Heavy weights as they have to be moved at e.g slitters and rewinders require particularly efficient and powerful actuators.
BST designed the new electric-motor driven actuator EMS 23 exactly for these requirements.
In combination with the approved BST commanders and guiding devices, EMS 23 corrects the position of e.g. plastic, paper or rubber materials precisely with a actuating force up to 9,000 Newton.
