New Actuators Products

Linear Actuator transmits thrust actions.

Compact MaxJac(R) actuator delivers variable speed control for thrust applications such as throttle control, fine lift adjustments, and valve actuation in RVs, commercial cleaning machines, construction equipment, and medical pumps. It has back drivable piston, manual override, and 12 Vdc gearmotor that produces continuous torque of 20 oz-in. Actuator operates at speeds up to 2.2 in/sec and...

Hydraulic Actuators have threaded body mounting.

Miniature short stroke, hydraulic actuators suit installations where space is limited on jigs, fixtures, molds, general purpose tooling, and O.E.M. applications. Fluid lines and fittings are located at rear and are isolated from work area. Force output is rated from 1 to 3 tons in 5 models rated at 3,000 psi. Design offers leak-proof SAE ports and polyurethane lip seals on fine...

Actuators employ precision-rolled ballscrews.

MaxJac (TM) compact actuators deliver variable speed control for thrust applications. They offer backdrivable pistons with manual override capability, speeds to 2.2 in./s, and thrust capacities to 430 lbs. Usable stroke is rated to 1.5 in., and end-to-end length is 6.6 in. when fully retracted. Other features include permanent magnet, 12 Vdc motor with continuous torque of 20 oz-in and peak...

Air Actuators provide gentle handling of delicate parts.

PNRE Series friction-free actuators require less than 10 psi to operate. Light touch or physical obstruction will stop unit's movement before it can damage equipment and parts. Using bearing system containing cylindrical steel rollers, carriage glides almost friction-free over base. Slide assembly is controlled by pair of Airpot Dashpots. Three models are available with travel of 0.5, 1.0, and...

Key Considerations When Choosing a Power Cord

This white paper provides an overview of key considerations when choosing a power cord.

Actuator has infinitely programmable limits.

Intelligent Actuator offers speeds up to 60 degrees per second. Speed and travel limits are programmable. Unit is adaptable for both rotary and linear functions, and is available with 12/24 VAC/DC, electronic position feedback, and modular mounting. Actuator is suitable for damper controls on fume hoods, HVAC systems, or any application requiring high speed and/or high torque.

Linear Actuator is available with encoder.

Size 17 hybrid linear actuator, with optical incremental encoder, is suitable for both high and low volume motion control applications. Encoder is offered in resolutions ranging from 50 to 1,024 counts, and is available with TTL level and quadrature outputs. It incorporates lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with signal shaping electronics to produce 2-channel bounceless...

Rotary Actuator loads and unloads machines.

DRM is available with wide range of 2- and 3-finger parallel grippers. Pneumatic lines and electrical connections are plumbed through unit, eliminating wrapping and exposed lines. As part of DirectConnect(TM) system, grippers can be mounted without adapter plates. Unit is suitable for machining applications where one part needs to be exchanged with another. Four sizes are available with multiple...

Servo Actuator has output speeds from 30-80 rpm.

PowerHub(TM) hollow shaft servo actuator delivers positional accuracy less than 1 arc min and repeatability of +/- 5 arc sec. Center through holes are available up to 27mm, allowing vacuum lines and wiring to be run through center of unit to external devices. Actuator is available in 2 sizes (-20 and 25) with ratios from 50:1. Output flange is supported by precision bearings, and output torques...

Clamping Cylinder loads and unloads light parts.

Twist Clamp has internal mechanism to produce rotary piston motion throughout stroke. By attaching clamp arm, actuator becomes clamping mechanism for light-duty holding applications. Motion rotates clamp arm out of work area for easy loading and unloading of parts. It uses 40mm bore cylinder that produces up to 224 lb of clamping force at maximum pressure of 140 psi. Cylinder body is hard coat...

Linear Actuators can be custom configured.

Electromechanical CATR actuators can be built using standard components such as motors, gears, screws, controls, and attachments to perform opening/closing, clamping/gripping, raising/lowering, or pushing/pulling functions. CATR 33 has ACME sliding screw for standard operation, CATR 33H has ACME screw, and CATR 32B has Ball screw. Options include stroke lengths, ac or dc motors, and friction...
