Press Release Summary:
RUNNER Linear Actuators provide high push/pull force with capability to lift loads up to 12 kN. Speeds at full load range from 4.5-7.5 mm/sec, and stroke lengths range from 100-700 mm. Systems incorporate first failure safe control unit for operation of up to 3 actuators. Standard models include safety nut, limit switches, and Jack-plug as added safeguards. With safety factor of 4 for stroke length up to 250 mm, RUNNER actuators are suited for medical settings.
Original Press Release:
'Runner' Linear Actuators Handle Heavy Loads in Medical and Industrial Applications
The JPEG File available from SKF Actuation Systems is designed to handle extremely heavy loads in medical and industrial applications. This robust, high-performance system runs quietly with minimal vibration, offers long service life, and comes equipped with specialized safety and maintenance features to further optimize operation.
RUNNER linear actuators provide high push/pull force with a virtually unprecedented capability to lift loads up to 12kN. Speeds at full load for RUNNER actuators (Models R20, R21, and R22) range from 4.5mm/sec to 7.5mm/sec and stroke lengths range from 100mm-700mm.
This actuation system includes several key safety components, including a first failure safe control unit for the operation of up to three actuators. The control unit can be operated as stand-alone or can be mounted directly on the actuator. Standard RUNNER models include a safety nut, limit switches, and Jack-plug as added safeguards. With a safety factor of 4 for stroke length up to 250mm, RUNNER actuators are ideally suited for use in medical settings.
A cycle counting feature serves to help track intervals for recommended maintenance, which is minimal.
The RUNNER system is compatible with TELEMAG telescopic lifting columns to raise and lower medical equipment or industrial devices with large offset loads.
