IDC is recognized as having pioneered the electromechanical rod-type industrial-grade actuator (electric cylinder) market, and today we are considered the leader in this field. Pre-packaged electric cylinders are an alternative to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders or "do-it-yourself" engineering of an electromechanical solution from various components. Electric cylinders are more controllable, more precise, more reliable, easier to install and maintain, and cleaner than fluid power alternatives.
Today, IDC manufactures a wide range of rotary and linear positioning devices including a broad line of electric cylinders, rodless actuators, robotic cartesian systems, and precision rotary and linear positioning tables. To drive our mechanical products, we offer DC, brushless servo or step motors, and gear motors. A comprehensive selection of electronic motion controls complements our mechanics. Our servo and microstepping drives and smart drives are the best in their class with regard to dynamic performance, features, reliability and ease of use. IDC invites head to head comparisons with any motion controls from any manufacturer.
