Powerful 'Magforce' Linear Actuators Ideal Alternative To Pneumatics Or Hydraulics
BETHLEHEM, PA, April 22, 2003 - MAGFORCE electromechanical linear actuators from SKF Magnetic Actuators can enable powerful, robust, and safer positioning and adjustment of equipment and components in heavy-duty applications. Compared with pneumatic or hydraulic actuation systems, these new actuators typically will prove more cost-effective, safer to operate, and less susceptible to breakdown.
Powerful MAGFORCE linear actuators can be utilized effectively in a wide range of industrial applications, whether in automation, material-handling, or building and assembly systems. They can lift and lower loads on assembly lines; erect road building signs; guide brushes on street-cleaning machines; operate switches or change direction of conveyor belts; and tip bulk containers, among countless other real-world applications.
MAGFORCE linear actuators are available in a variety of sizes in AC, DC, and three-phase versions with stroke up to over 40"/1000mm, force up to 6600 lbs./30kN, and speed up to 3" per second/75mm per second. These maintenance-free actuators are quiet and smooth-running, require little space, and install in any position (vertical, horizontal, or at intermediate angles).
Customized components can be incorporated to meet specific performance needs. Options include free-wheel or magnetic brakes, incremental encoders, limit switches, extended motor shafts, and potentiometers. Specialized designs can be developed.
