The EZ Limo EZC, EZHC, EZHP Series of motorized cylinders incorporate an ORIENTAL MOTOR stepping motor, feedback system and ball screw in a compact, stylish body. The EZC Series motorized cylinders provide pushing and pulling motion using a rod driven by the ball screw.
Up to 63 motion profiles can be set. The system uses a full range of utilities such as teaching function, push function, area output function, selection of home detection modes and absolute feedback type. The EZ Limo also supports external pulse input, which means you can combine your existing controller with the EZ Limo system.
EZ Limo features Oriental Motor's
stepping motor which has a built-in feedback device. When a condition presenting the possibility of a misstep is detected, the motor performs closed-loop control, thereby ensuring stable operation.
Quick Positioning
EZ Limo uses the
stepping motor characterized by its high response and ability to eliminate missteps. By fully utilizing the performance of the
, the EZC Series is capable of performing quick positioning operations.
Prevention of Hunting at Standstill
Unlike conventional servomotors, the motor used in the EZ Limo system is free from hunting.
Low Vibration / Low Noise
The EZHC and EZHP models adopt a software-based smooth drive control to suppress vibration and noise even during low-speed operation, such as return-to-home.
As long as power is supplied, the EZ Limo system can proceed to the next operation without executing home detection, even given the occurrence of an overload or emergency stop error.
Choose the incremental type if you want to execute home detection the power is turned on. The absolute type would be your choice if you want to start operation from the current position rather than the home position when the power is turned on.
Absolute Type
The absolute type allows the movement of the rod to followed and backed up, even when the power is cut off.
You can choose the sensorless mode if you want to simplify the mechanical layout, or the sensor mode if you want to use sensors to detect home.
Sensorless Home Detection
Home detection is performed without the use of a home sensor. The home position can be adjusted. For the linear slides, the direction of home detection can also be changed.
Home Detection Using Sensors
Home detection is performed using home sensors. The sensors are available as options.
Positioning data can be set in one of three methods; enter the desired travel amount (mm) directly into the optional Teaching Pendant (EZT1) or data editing software, move the table to the target position manually and store the achieved position as positioning data or move the table to the target position using the teaching pendant or data editing software and store the achieved position as positioning data.
An optional teaching pendant (EZT1) and data editing software (EZED2) are available. Choose the appropriate accessory based on the required functions.
Teaching Pendant EZT1 (sold separately)
Data Editing Software EZED1 (sold separately for EZC models)
The rod can be held in a state of being pushed against work or similar object, as with an air cylinder. The force used to push the work (push force) can be changed. The EZHC and EZHP models handle up to 63 push width/force profiles.

The drive mechanism uses THK's ball screw, while the guide mechanism adopts THK's LM Guide®.
The ball screw employs the QZ™ lubrication system, while the LM Guide® uses the Ball Retainer® to retain the coupled rolling elements. These mechanisms give the system a considerable duration of maintenance-free performance.
