Force tube parallel motor mount assembly

February 10, 2016 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

The Exlar FT Series actuators combined with a parallel motor mounting configuration use a polymer reinforced belt drive system. The drive train does not require any lubrication and any oil or dirt contamination within the belt drive system will decrease belt effectiveness and life. The belt and pulley system should be inspected periodically for excessive […]
