The LDL […]
New frame size added to Curtiss-Wright integrated motor/actuator series
Curtiss-Wright’s Actuation Division has added a third frame size, the Exlar GTX060, to its GTX integrated motor/actuator series of industrial electromechanical actuators. The GTX Series actuators offer force, precision, and repeatability while eliminating or minimizing the maintenance and inefficiencies typical of fluid power alternatives. With continuous force ratings up to 2,668 N (600 lbf) and […]
New direct-drive linear modules from PI
PI’s two new series of direct-drive linear modules are geared for machine builders and system integrators. The V-855 and V-857 product families were designed for high-load and high duty cycle industrial precision motion applications where traditional actuators or linear slides with lead-screw or timing-belt drives are not precise, robust or reliable enough. The maintenance-free and […]
