Mounting styles
Rear clevis mounting – fast and easy
connection of the actuator to a fixed
member with a pin. The clevis is on the
axis of the screw and helps to minimize
side loading in one direction. The
orientation of the rear clevis is available
in 90° increments. This style of mounting
is available only with the parallel
configuration. It is also the least rigid
mounting style.
Trunion mounting – provides a pivot
point on the body of the actuator. Parallel
pins are attached to the T-slots on each
side of the actuator.
Mounting feet – are used to raise the
actuator off of the mounting surface while
keeping it parallel to the surface.
Mounting feet rigidly mount the actuator
to the surface.
Side tapped holes – drilled and tapped
holes are in the side of the actuator to
rigidly mount the actuator to the surface.
This option with either the tapped hole or
threaded rod provides the most accurate
and repeatable performance for the
actuator.
Front flange – this allows the actuator to
be mounted by the front flange on the
cover tube. This is also a rigid mounting
system and does not permit any side to
side motion of the actuator. This is not
recommended for over 12" stroke length
in horizontal applications due to the over
hanging load.
Options and Accessories
Encoder – 400 or 500 line optical
encoder can be driven off of either the
lead screw or motor to provide
confirmation of actual position.
Brake – an electrically released, spring
set brake mounted on the motor can
control backdriving of the ball screw
actuators when the power is cut.
Sensors – additional magnetic sensors
can be placed on three sides of the
actuator to provide end of stroke limits or
intermediate confirmation of position.
Rod end options
Tapped hole – this allows the load to be
attached to the rod end by a bolt. This is
a very rigid mount and care should be
taken to avoid side loads.
Threaded rod – this allows the load to
be attached to the rod end by a nut. This
is also a very rigid mount and care
should be taken to avoid side loads.
Universal rod end – provides two
degrees of freedom for the load. The load
is attached by a pin.
