POWERAM

POWERAM Linear Actuators are typical used for linear movement or actuation to Tilt, Pivot, Lift, Lower, Position, Roll, Slide, Open, Close, Tension, Lock and Unlock. This means they are ideal for applications such as lifting platforms, access platforms, folding stairways, roller lifts, door locks, hood lifts, hatch opening, diversion chutes, conveyor tracking, conveyor flow direction, gate lifts, shutter door lifts, wire tensioning, platform positioning, levelling systems, and many more. This means they can be used as linear solutions in many sectors from defence, nuclear, aerospace, metal processing, medical, automotive, offshore wind, marine, oil and gas, communications, paper, food processing and many more.

POWERAM electric linear actuators are a better alternative to hydraulic linear actuators for most general industrial applications, providing improved performance, lower lifetime cost, improved safety and better for the environment. They also make an ideal linear motion solution for automating manual processes.

• Unified design helps machine builders standardise system and machine design
• High corrosion resistant full stainless steel version
• Easy upgrade path from a screw jack to POWERAM actuator
• Ball Screw version for medium to high duty or high speed or low power consumption applications
• Motorised or non-motorised options
• Easy integration into control systems
• Modular actuator building system and custom designs available up to 2000kN
• Build actuator systems easily either mechanically linked or electronically synchronised.

• Machine Screw, Stainless Steel and Ball Screw Actuator versions
• Unified Design for the same size of actuator for each capacity size across the three versions. Allows designers to change actuator performance while standardising machine designs
• Capacity sizes 10kN, 25kN, 50kN, 100kN, 200kN as standard
• Motorised or Non-Motorised
• 2 gear ratios and 2 screw lead options as standard
• Choice of end fittings: Clevis, Threaded End, Top Plate, Fork End, Rod End
• Trunnion mounting (with or without feet)
• Rear Clevis or Rear Fork End
• Limit switches (2,4,6, or 8) each fully adjustable over entire stroke
• Bellows Boot for extra ram protection
• Special custom designs available up to 2000kN

The POWERAM linear actuator design has successfully been applied in many varied ‘special’ applications, requiring for example:

• Safety Nut for extra emergency load holding
• Full power stop nut for extra emergency safety end of stroke stop
• Geared motor drive at right angles, parallel or in-line with actuator ram
• Clutch / torque limiter
• Brake mounted directly to actuator
• Limit switches installed directly to the actuators ram
• Integrated absolute or incremental encoder feedback devices
• Trunnion mounts midway on ram outer tube
• End flange mount on ram outer tube
• Subsea version in flooded or pressure compensated design for depths down to 3000m
• Spherical bearings located in end fixings on ram or actuator gearbox
• Servo motor drive integration with or without planetary gear head
• Anti-rotation mechanism for actuators ram when application load not rotationally constrained
• Special custom designs available up to 2000kN
