- Key Products/Technologies
- Linear Actuators: A diverse product line including industrial, heavy-duty, modular, electric, and hydraulic linear actuators. The SPA linear actuator with Intelli-Motion technology is a key innovation, offering precise motion control and automation capabilities through integrated VFD and onboard I/O. The LS series includes models like the LS25-1B5TN-12 with 450 lbs capacity and 12-inch stroke, while the TMD series offers models for light loads (100-250 lbs capacity, 2-24 inch stroke) with an IP50 rating. The LT series provides models with capacities from 27 to 225 lbs, strokes from 2 to 12 inches, and IP66 protection for rugged environments.Linear Actuators: A diverse product line including industrial, heavy-duty, modular, electric, and hydraulic linear actuators.
