OverviewThe RSX family of extreme high-force electric linear actuators provides an effective alternative to hydraulic cylinders for demanding industrial applications. They deliver long life and precise axial control by using high-precision planetary roller screws and robust Type III hard coat anodized housings.
Key highlights- Forces up to 100,000 lbf (445 kN)
- Stroke lengths up to 59 in (1,500 mm)
- Available with ball screw and planetary roller screw drive options
- Type III hard coat anodized aluminum housing for harsh environments
- IP67 option for dust and water protection
Features- Ball screw or planetary roller screw drive options to match application requirements
- Type III hard coat anodized aluminum housing
- Standard thrust rod anti-rotation feature
- IP67 option for ingress protection
- Compatible with servo motors and gearboxes (approx. frame sizes up to 290 mm)
- Food-grade option with white epoxy coating and stainless steel thrust rod
- Oil-filled / oil-cooled variants for high-speed, high-duty applications
