Electric actuator CML-1500

linearball screwDC

Product overview
The CML-1500 and CML-3000 are linear electric actuators designed for automation of large control valves and pump applications. They provide a 114.3 mm (4.5") stroke with seating thrust up to 20 kN and modulating thrust up to 13.3 kN. The units deliver precise, continuous modulation using a brushless DC motor and encoder feedback in an all-electric, explosionproof package.
