Linear Actuators from J.W. Winco
Linear actuators have guide tubes of chrome plated precision steel, with gunmetal follower nuts and plastic end caps. The tubes are also available in stainless steel. Tubes come in a variety of diameters and travel lengths from 65 to 315 mm. The actuators may be ordered in right hand thread, one or two shaft ends; […]
High-Speed Linear Actuators
A new line of DB series actuators operates at speeds to 5.1 m/sec and does not require lubrication or maintenance under normal operating conditions. They provide travel lengths to 6 m and maintain repeatability of +/- 0.025 mm and linear accuracy of +/- 0.083 mm/m. DB series planetary gearheads provide gear geometry for planetary systems […]
Lifetime Monitoring System for Actuators
The onboard SKF actuator lifetime monitoring system continuously tracks actuator service-life status while in operation and signals when the actuator needs to be replaced. The system displays remaining service life via a simple LED color code display, using specific calculations. Green indicates more than 10% service life and orange indicates that only 10% remains. When […]
Roller Screw Jack Actuators
Roller screw jack actuators use a roller screw and nut ring gear assembly supported by two bearings. A worm gear in a stationary housing drives the actuators. The configuration distributes compression loads evenly for best handling of heavy loads in one direction. Multiple contact points in the roller screw design maximize load-carrying capacity. SKF Linear […]
Actuator Extends Nozzle’s Reach Into Dangerous Places
Leslie M. MorganHelac Corp. Firefighters have one of the most dangerous and demanding jobs in the public’s eye. They are called upon to face complex fires or natural disasters to save lives or property. Innovative technology to help protect people and property is in high demand from firefighting forces around the world. This urgent demand […]
Roller Screws for Linear Actuation
Roller screws for linear actuation can sustain static loads to 1,000 tons and dynamic loads to 200 tons, depending on type. The screws incorporate fine-lead threads, as small as 1 mm. Their robust nut can withstand shock loads; their timing mechanism is reliable at high acceleration; and a long lead and symmetrical nut design permits […]
Rodless Band Cylinder
The MX Rodless Band Cylinder has a modular body for lean manufacturing. It also comes in three different bearing designs to meet a variety of application needs. The Profiled Rail design’s THK Caged Ball technology reduces friction and extends actuator life. The Solid bearing design reduces stress concentration, and the Internal bearing design is permanently […]
