Rod-Style Electric Actuators
linear_actuatorElectric rod-style linear actuators (RSA, RSX, RSH, ERD, GSA) with acme, ball, or roller screw drives, rated 500 to 100,000 lbf (2.2-445 kN), used to replace pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders.
Manufactures electric and pneumatic linear actuators and power transmission components (industrial caliper brakes, right-angle gearboxes, planetary roller screws) for industrial motion control. Engineered and manufactured in Hamel, Minnesota since 1954.
Electric rod-style linear actuators (RSA, RSX, RSH, ERD, GSA) with acme, ball, or roller screw drives, rated 500 to 100,000 lbf (2.2-445 kN), used to replace pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders.
Belt-drive and screw-drive rodless electric linear actuators (MXB, B3W, MXE, B3S, BCS) rated 236-1,290 lb (107-586 kg) loads, for high bending-moment, externally guided applications.
Integrated servo motor and rod actuator products (IMA, IMA-S) with rated forces up to 8,044 lbf (35.8 kN). IMA-S is 316 stainless steel with IP69K rating for food-grade use.
Integrated servo actuators for robotic resistance spot welding, branded ServoWeld (CSWX, SWA/SWB, GSWA series), delivering forces from 950 lbf to 4,950 lbf (4.2-22.0 kN).
Pneumatic band-cylinder, cable-cylinder, and magnetic rodless actuators (BC2, BC3, MXP-N/S/P, LS, MG, MGS) for linear motion, including space-constrained and X-Y slide setups.
Guided pneumatic thruster cylinders (Power-Block, Power-Block 2 series) using twin steel guide rods for load support, with stroke lengths up to 6 inches and thrusting capability over 470 lbf.
Spring-applied, hydraulic, mechanical, and pneumatic industrial caliper brakes, including AirHeart brakes, with maximum dynamic torque of 76,800 in-lbf (8.6 kNm) at 1,500 psi.
Float-A-Shaft and Slide-Rite right-angle gearboxes with ratios of 1:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, and 3:2, rated to a maximum torque of 2,480 in-lbf (280.2 Nm).
