Product Description:

The AH2003-B310-0000 electric cylinder is produced by Beckhoff for the A Electric Cylinders series. The unit combines electromechanical thrust with onboard control so it can perform linear positioning or speed-regulated strokes in automated machinery. Within an axis, it converts commanded motion profiles into controlled rod travel and serves as both the actuator and the feedback platform for closed-loop positioning tasks.

Its control electronics are driven by a 266 MHz processor based on the Pentium I architecture, giving adequate cycle time for deterministic interpolation. Motion data is handled over 3 channels, and each channel provides 2 analog inputs per channel for sensor feedback and selectable position and velocity regulation modes. Separate pairs of digital inputs and outputs on each channel handle limit switches, interlocks, or valve commands without requiring auxiliary PLC cards. The controller also captures displacement through a 4–20 mA loop, allowing standardized transmitter wiring. This arrangement lets each channel monitor sensors while also actuating proportional valves or simple on-off devices, which keeps control functions local to the cylinder.

Field integration is performed through a PROFIBUS MC (DP-V2) interface that exchanges setpoints and diagnostics with higher-level controllers. The housing measures 174 x 200 x 80 mm, carries an IP65 rating, and uses a 12-pin valve connector to keep signal lines sealed during washdown or dust exposure. Encoder feedback can be supplied as 1 Vss or TTL signals, so the axis can work with common drive modules. The sealed enclosure supports direct machine mounting where exposed installation areas make cabinet placement less practical. Local I/O handling also reduces the need for separate external interface boxes near the actuator.
