Duff-Norton Modular Actuators

Duff Norton modular actuators are made for a variety of applications. They are custom made by matching standard actuators with electric, air, hydraulic or explosion proof drive units.
Duff Norton translating tube machine screw models feature a traveling lift nut which allows precise load positioning. Translating tube actuators are used when environmental contamination is anticipated as they have an enclosed lifting screw and translating tube. For use in locations relatively free of dust, dirt and moisture.
Optional limit switches and transducers are available on the translating tube machine screw modular actuator.
Mitre-Box
Power transmission systems frequently use multiple actuator arrangements. Such systems commonly use mitre boxes to effectively position and equally distribute loads.
- 98% average efficiency ratings.
- Carburized and case hardened bevel gears.
- Alloy steel input/output shafts for greater strength.
- Anti-friction bearings on all shafts.
- MB-4 and MB-8 models come with lifetime lubrication, stainless steel shafts and aluminum housings.
