Valves, Actuators & Pump Control


Powerful linear actuators

September 2008 Valves, Actuators & Pump Control

Magforce electromechanical linear actuators from SKF Actuators enable powerful, robust, safer positioning and adjustment of equipment and components in heavy-duty applications.

The powerful Magforce actuators can be utilised effectively in a wide range of industrial applications, such as: material-handling; building and assembly systems; erecting road building signs; guiding brushes on street-cleaning machines; operating switches or changing conveyor belt direction; tipping bulk containers and many other real-world applications.

Available in a variety of sizes; AC, DC or three-phase versions with stroke up to 1000 mm, force up to 30 kN, and operating speed up to 75 mm per second, Magforce actuators are maintenance-free, quiet and smooth-running, compact, and can be installed in any position (vertical, horizontal, or at intermediate angles).

Customised components can be incorporated to meet specific performance requirements and specialised designs can be developed – options include; free-wheel or magnetic brakes, incremental encoders, limit switches, extended motor shafts, and potentiometer for position sensing.
