Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a direct-drive high-thrust electric cylinder includes a motor 101, a reducer 102, a coupling 103, a lead screw and nut assembly 104, a locking block 105, a thrust ball bearing 106, a deep groove ball bearing 108, and a piston rod 114. The lead screw and nut assembly 104 includes a lead screw and a nut. The lead screw passes sequentially through the deep groove ball bearing 108, the thrust ball bearing 106, and the locking block 105, and is then connected to the reducer 102 via the coupling 103. The reducer 102 is connected to the motor 101. One end of the piston rod 114 is connected to the load, and the other end is connected to the nut in the lead screw and nut assembly 104. This electric cylinder can achieve high thrust and high-density installation.

[0028] The electric cylinder also includes two bearing washers 107, respectively installed at both ends of the thrust ball bearing 106. The electric cylinder also includes an adapter 109, which has a boss for bearing the tensile and compressive forces on the lead screw nut assembly 104 and facilitating the installation of the thrust ball bearing 106. The electric cylinder also includes a cylinder barrel 110 and a guide block 111. The guide block 111 is installed inside the cylinder barrel 110 and is connected to the nut in the lead screw nut assembly 104, sliding within the cylinder barrel 110.
