An electric servo drive air cylinder includes ported end caps for alternately receiving air from a pressurized source, and a tubular piston rod mounting a piston for intermittent longitudinal reciprocal movements and a projecting rod end for connection to a load. A power rotated reversible ball screw extends through the piston rod and is journaled thereon and upon one end cap and projects therefrom. An axial ball nut is secured to the piston rod and threadedly receives the ball screw. A programmable D.C. motor is mounted upon an end cap and has a drive shaft coupled with the ball screw. An electronic encoder is connected to the ball screw and motor to control direction and number of rotations of the ball screw for effecting a programmed repetitive cycle of predetermined feed movements of the piston rod. A pre-set programmable control is connected to the motor and an electronic encoder feed back circuit which interconnects the encoder and the programmable control. A preset computer pneumerical control may be substituted for the programmable control.
