SKF actuation systems
Standard versions of SKF linear actuators can handle loads up to 12 kN, as well as deliver speeds up to 180 mm/s and a maximum stroke of 700 mm.
Improve accuracy with reduced operating costs SKF linear actuators
Electromechanical linear actuators enable precise, controlled, and repeatable push/pull movement in linear drive applications. The modular design and open architecture provide opportunities to integrate components and achieve customized solutions within existing operational parameters. SKF offers a wide range of standard actuators as a basis for customized system solutions, including accessories such as hall sensors, limit switches, potentiometers, friction clutches and back-up nuts. Additionally, SKF actuators are available with housings made of different materials (e.g., aluminium, zinc, polymer). SKF linear actuators offer several operating benefits, including: • Ready-to mount for easy plug-in operation • Virtually maintenance free • Environmentally friendly alternatives to hydraulic types

SKF linear actuators help increase productivity, improve operator safety SKF worked with a manufacturer to fit its specially designed chocolate cooling tunnel with SKF linear actuators. The SKF solution contributed in a variety of applications, including header lift, upper covering, conveyor belt centering, an air cooler positioning gantry and adjustable table height. Results included an improvement in product quality by allowing automatic adjustments of conveyor alignments and cooling mechanism heights; faster resets by allowing a simple repositioning of coolers between batches; and increased operator safety by reducing manual intervention and providing easy access for cleaning.
