The choice of hydraulic/pneumatic or mechanical actuators always depends on the application, but if application factors are equal, the roller screw actuator has some advantages. Roller screw actuators have several advantages over hydraulic or pneumatic actuators for many applications, especially those involving heavy loads and fast cycles. For example, the controls are simpler, eliminating the […]

Valve Positioners For บฺมฯณินฯ Actuators
Spirax Sarcoโs EP5 and PP5 control valve positioners operate on the balanced forced principle providing a tested solution for accurate control valve positioning. Both types are simple to commission and maintain with a low air consumption and 0,2 to 1,0 bar and 4-20 mA input signal options. The positioners are used with linear pneumatic actuators; […]
SRU-plus Rotary Actuator from SCHUNK
With a new dampening system the SRU-plus rotary actuator from SCHUNK can rotate heavy loads just like itsย predecessor the SRU. The new unit is available in six different sizes. The user can choose between two dampening versions. The soft dampening version ensures shorter cycle times even with the same payloads; the hard dampening version […]
Linear Actuators and Mechatronic Technology
Linear Actuators are a class of mechatronic systems with some unique design constraints. ย As a result there are dozens of approaches, dozens of vendors, the option of designing the actuator from scratch, and, frankly, a lot of confusion. ย The problem lies in the fact that the actuator as a subassembly is the combination of a […]
Electromechanical Actuators Suit Off-Highway Equipment Applications
SKFยฎ “drop-in” electromechanical actuators introduced for off-highway equipment applications provide easy-to-mount solutions for integration into new or existing design envelopes. These highly robust actuators ideally can perform functions traditionally controlled either hydraulically or manually. The “plug-and-play” actuators have been engineered to promote precise and reliable movement in dozens of applications ranging from steering-wheel and seat […]
Humphrey Products Receives ISO-13485 Accreditation
Kalamazoo, MI — Humphrey Products is proud to announce that it received the accreditation for ISO 13485: 2003 in addition to its continued accreditation of ISO 9001 status. ISO 13485 represents the requirements that medical device manufacturers must incorporate into their management, engineering, distribution and quality systems. Adding to all the normal benefits that the […]
Thermally Actuated Gas Shut-Off Valves Used To Control Flow Of Gases
Assured Automation announced the FireBag – a new line of thermally actuated gas shut-off valves used to control the flow of natural, propane or butane gases. Many existing emergency gas shut-off devices require manual manipulation – a poor solution in emergency fire situations. The FireBag provides a solution by automatically discontinuing the flow of gas […]
