Rexroth CKK Ball Screw Actuators Raise Performance for Wind Turbine Builders
Wind turbine technology is an established sustainable, green technology. Many consider it a technology that will help define the energy future. But wind energy also depends, to a great extent, on more traditional manufacturing techniques, such as welding β vitally important for creating the massive towers. One of the leaders in creating welding solutions for […]
SMAC Upgrades LAR31 Series of Linear and Rotary Electric Actuators
Carlsbad, CA – SMAC introduces upgraded LAR31 series of linear and rotary electric actuators. The actuator has the vacuum built in the shaft through the rotary motor. The vacuum assures that any external objects (e.g. dust) are ejected through the other end, which prevents dust build-up in the unit. This reduces maintenance down time and […]
