Electric actuators promise maximum durability
Rodless screw drive electric actuator range now solves a wider variety of applications with its expanded product line and enhanced capabilities.
The new CR version is also equipped with corrosion resistant electroless nickel plated geared sleeves, keys and retaining rings in addition to stainless steel bearings for efficient power transmission in environmentally tough applications.
"We designed the Slide-Rite CR version to include all the performance features of Tol-O-Matic's popular Slide-Rite gearbox, then modified all the exposed components to withstand most corrosive operating environments", stated Mike Dornfeld, Tol-O-Matic, Mechanical Engineer.
The Slide-Rite CR is available in two sizes: the standard series for most applications and the compact series for applications where space is limited.
Each incorporates two 45-degree helical gears that mesh at right angles.
They can be operated up to the maximum torque capacity in either rotation and can slide axially along the drive or driven shaft providing perfect alignment and easy installation.
