Linear actuator

Suited for medical and dental equipment because of its silent operation, a compact linear actuator has a minimum life of 40,000 cycles at the rated load. The Electrak EO50 features a built-in limit switch to safeguard against end-of-stroke events and a load-limiting clutch to protect the unit from stalling midstroke. Its housing is a corrosion- and scratch-resistant polymer rated to IP-56. Front and rear clevis mounts facilitate installation, and the actuator's compact profile makes it suitable for use in constrained applications. Warner Electric, South Beloit, IL, USA.
