Manufactured in the USA
The Andco Actuator 7000 Series linear actuator is an entirely self-contained electro-mechanical device designed and constructed for dependable, long-life operation. These actuators are optimal for positioning, automation of material handling, or flow control equipment.
7000 Series Actuator
How It Works
The 7000 Series actuator is driven by a high-starting torque, low-inertia motor connected to a drive screw through a set of gears; as the motor rotates the drive screw, the mating nut and attached extension rod move axially.
Suppose the movement of the extension rod is prevented in either direction at any point in actuator travel due to an external mechanical overload. In that case, a thrust switch will interrupt the motor's power. The gear-driven position limit switch interrupts the motor's power upon stroke completion.
