Duff-Norton Control Systems
Actuator Control Systems
No two applications are the same. We work closely to understand your application and provide the best possible solution. Control packages can be highly customized and we offer a wide variety of options to meet demanding control requirements. Package options can be implemented to fit your application and provide a complete turn-key solution.
Actuator Control Systems
Many applications require a variation of speeds during the motion process. Our Variable Speed Controller allows the speed pot to be adjusted between 0% and 100%, even while the application is in motion.
We offer preset, selectable speed controls with a choice of three different speeds (25%, 50% and 100%). If custom speeds are desired, they can be easily entered into a numeric keypad as a percentage ranging from 0 to 100%. You have a choice of a pushbutton controller or color touch screen operator for your application.
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Allows greater flexibility for motion applications
- Eliminates the need for additional equipment for fast or slow processes
- Eliminates equipment hard starts and stops
- Prolongs equipment life
OPTIONS:
- Door mounted Speed Pot adjustable from 0 to 100%
- Preset, selectable speeds using a panel mounted selector switch
- Numeric entry speed using a HMI touch screen
- UL or cUL certifications

Actuator Control Systems
Digital display controls are ideal for applications that require live positioning. A feedback device provides a signal to either a panel meter or human machine interface (HMI). The panel meter or HMI then displays live positioning of each device.
These controls are used to manually jog a motor into position. They provide accurate feedback for various input types and are most often used in conjunction with jog controls,
FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Provide live feedback
- Shows up to four three-decimal positions on display
- Accurate positioning of motors
- Easy to view process
OPTIONS:
- Multiple displays can be used in the same control panel
- Optional outputs for indicators or alarms
- Displays can be provided for existing applications
- UL or cUL certifications
