Linear actuators for agricultural vehicles

Warner Linear's new range of actuators are said to provide the ideal solution for rugged to light duty linear motion tasks on agricultural vehicles. According to the manufacturer, they are easily customised to meet individual customer needs, and provide key user benefits such as maintenance free operation and long operating life.

Each actuator provides the option of up to IP65 ingress protection, has clean lines for easy integration and cleaning, and is suited to light, general or rugged duty applications. The actuators extend to over 9000N, with higher capacities available upon customer request. Stroke lengths range from 50 to 900mm, with equal load capacity in either direction of travel and load holding capability without power, due to integrated mechanical brakes. Features include a high performance electric motor combined with a gear train, ball screw and ball nut drive. According to Warner Linear, the motor is an ignition proof design as standard for increased safety, and is fitted with ball bearings instead of sleeve bearings for increased performance. Thermal overload switches are included as standard for motor protection.
