Valves, Actuators & Pump Control


High-performance actuation solutions

August 2008 Valves, Actuators & Pump Control

Modern electromechanical applications rely on superior performance from their actuators and actuation systems for successful operation.

SKF provides a complete range of actuation products and systems designed to satisfy even the most demanding requirements in virtually any area of application.

The company maintains a leadership position in the industrial field of actuation and supports the product range with extensive knowledge and experience gained through long standing cooperation with leading companies in a variety of industry sectors. The SKF actuator range includes telescopic pillars, linear and rotary actuators and control units to provide complete solutions for a multitude of diverse applications.

Highlights in the range

CAR

The CAR range of linear industrial type actuators offers a unique standard of performance, durability and reliability. The compact design incorporates well proven parts including the SKF high efficiency ball screw, a sturdy gearbox assembly, and high quality DC and AC-motors for extensive operational life and optimal performance levels. The modular design allows easy matching of the actuators to individual application requirements.

CAP and CAT

The CAP positioning actuator range and CAT modular range offer a vast number of application possibilities. Positioning accuracy is achieved by means of a built-in encoder and long service life is ensured by detecting the position directly on the moving nut, thus keeping movement of internal components to a minimum. The actuators are robust, easily installed and are available in both left-and right-hand-drive versions.

Matrix

The compact, quiet running Matrix series includes powerful AC and DC-actuators and can be installed at virtually every angle in vertical or horizontal positions. SKF’s Matrix series offers long life and is available as a full system with control, operating units and accessories.

Magpush

The Magpush consists of an electric motor with the rotor directly coupled to the threaded spindle. The rotational movement of the spindle is converted into a linear movement by means of a special threaded nut fixed to the hollow push tube – thus providing linear motion. Two integral micro-switches automatically limit the forward and backward movement of the push tube. Magpush is an AC actuator available with forces up to 3000 N and speeds between 6 and 30 mm/s.

Telemag

Used wherever robust and safe guiding systems are required, the Telemag line of telescopic pillars features the best combination of minimum retract and large stroke length. The Telemag’s attractive design allows this guiding system to blend into the overall design of the equipment. The Telemag has a high offset load and provides silent, long-life operation.

With 60 years of experience and millions of actuators sold SKF offers extensive knowledge and quality application engineering on a world-wide basis.
