Actuator Line Adapts to Off-road Applications
SKF’s “drop-in” electromechanical actuators
for off-highway equipment applications
are claimed to provide easy-to-mount
solutions for integration into new or existing
design envelopes. The actuators ideally
can perform functions traditionally controlled
either hydraulically or manually and
have been engineered to promote precise
and reliable movement in dozens of applications
ranging from steering-wheel and
seat adjustment to trailer tilting and hood
lifting, among others. Two series have been
developed to satisfy medium/heavy or lowload
applications. Both feature corrosionresistant
housings and durable metal gears
offering the capability to withstand
extreme temperature swings, vibration,
shock, dust, and moisture in the field. The
actuators are self-locking IP 66-rated and
can operate over a wide temperature range
(-40ºC to 85ºC). This family of actuators
can additionally be equipped with various
options and otherwise customized for particular
applications.
