Linear motion with highest precision

Linear motion with utmost precision

The linear drive systems from Ortlieb are used wherever rotary movements need to be converted into precise, linear movements.

Our products – from the planetary rolling ball screw PWG to the spindle unit and electro-cylinder – cover the entire application range:

from compact actuation movements to powerful adjustment axes in machines and systems.

Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, Ortlieb drives ensure maximum positioning accuracy, long service life, and minimal maintenance intervals.

ORTLIEB Servo spindle – compact, efficient, and powerful

SERAC® electric cylinders – electric linear actuators with the highest dynamics

ORTLIEB Servo spindle

For applications that have previously relied on hydraulic drives, it is the ultimate alternative: The Ortlieb servo spindle utilizes the principle of the planetary rolling ball screw (PWG) and therefore forms the basis of the SERAC® electric cylinders.

The Ortlieb servo spindle combines the functions of a planetary gearbox with those of a linear spindle.

By merging these two functions, the space and weight of a drive axis are significantly reduced – while simultaneously increasing power density.

The result: high efficiency, low weight, and maximum precision in the smallest space. This technology opens up completely new possibilities for mechanical engineering and automation, especially where energy efficiency, high power density, as well as dynamics and compact designs are critical.

For applications that have relied on hydraulic drives until now, it is the ultimate alternative: ASCA® utilizes the principle of the planetary roller screw (PWG) and thus forms the basis of the SERAC® electric cylinder.

The ASCA® servo screw combines the functions of a planetary gear with those of a linear screw.

By merging these two functions, the space and weight of a drive shaft are significantly reduced – while simultaneously increasing power density.

The result: high efficiency, low weight, and maximum precision in the smallest space.

This technology opens up entirely new possibilities for mechanical engineering and automation, especially where energy efficiency, dynamics, and compact designs are crucial.

SERAC® electric cylinder

The SERAC® electric cylinders are integrated servo linear actuators based on the Ortlieb servo spindle technology. They combine the advantages of the servo spindle with modern control technology and highly precise sensing. They are ideally suited for precise positioning and feed movements. One of their typical features is high dynamics - in many applications, they increasingly replace conventional hydraulic solutions.

SERAC® electric cylinder

SERAC® electric cylinders are completely redesigned servo linear drives based on ASCA® technology.

They combine the advantages of servo spindles with modern control technology and are ideal for precise positioning and feed movements.

One of their typical features is their high dynamics – in many applications, they are increasingly replacing conventional hydraulic solutions.

Advantages of SERAC® electric cylinders:

Electric drives instead of hydraulics – clean, efficient, precise
High dynamics combined with a compact design
Low maintenance thanks to closed systems
Flexible control and easy integration into modern control systems
Ideal for automated manufacturing and testing processes

Energy efficiency and precision in focus

Compared to hydraulic or pneumatic systems, Ortlieb linear actuators operate more energy-efficiently, quietly, and precisely.

The precise control allows for reproducible positioning even at high speeds and forces.

Due to their robust construction, they are also low-maintenance and designed for a long service life – a crucial advantage in industrial environments.
