Summary

Ewellix develops linear motion systems, smart actuators, ball and roller screws, linear guides and lifting columns. Now part of Schaeffler linear motion business, its products convert rotary motion into precise linear movement for industrial automation, medical equipment and mobile machinery.

Market context

Ewellix is relevant to robot workcells because linear axes, lifting columns and electric actuators extend reach, position tooling and replace hydraulic or pneumatic movement in industrial automation. Ewellix supplies linear actuation, robot range-extension and electromechanical motion hardware for robot builders, cobot users, machine builders and industrial equipment OEMs.

Products

• EMA-100 Electromechanical Actuator
