HYDRAULIC ROTARY ACTUATORS – SM4
Hydraulic Rotary Actuators – SM4
The Eckart SM4 rotary actuator is a heavy-duty and highly-customizable rotary actuator designed for the toughest and most-demanding applications.
Because of its torque, angle of rotation, pressure range, positioning accuracy, stability of position, type of attachment, and its dimensions, the Eckart SM4 rotary actuator can be used in a wide range of applications. Not only is the SM4 a compact and robust unit, but it is also wear-resistant and efficient. The SM4 can be configured with an industry-leading fine and controllable end cushioning curve. Additionally, the SM4 unit can be driven via “black and white” or with proportional, control, and servo valves. For the purpose of subsequent driving, the piston end-positions at the linear cylinder and at the rotary actuator can be scanned via electronic end-position acknowledgement mechanisms. Ultimately, with the SM4, you have a high-performing product that is both robust and compact, allowing for optimal adaptation depending on your specific requirements.
Hydraulic Rotary Actuator Standard Features:
Hydraulic Rotary Actuator Optional Features:
Hydraulic Rotary Actuator Custom Configurations Available:
Helical Spline Hydraulic Rotary Actuators:
Like all Eckart hydraulic rotary actuators, the SM4 is designed with helical spline technology. The actuator operates with a piston and a helical or sliding spline mechanism, which work in tandem to transform the piston’s linear motion into rotational movement.
High torque in a compact profile
Less risk of contamination and physical damage
Low maintenance and wear-resistant moving parts
Reduced pinch points
Standard Rotations:
Standard rotations are 90°, 180°, 270°,and 360°. Other rotations can be supplied on request by using the model with the next standard rotation up and limiting the stroke of the piston in accordance. Also available are special models with rotations in excess of 360°. Additional rotation is created by making the spline gears longer while maintaining the same diameter. The primary benefit to this type of product compared to alternative designs such as linkages using hydraulic cylinders (linear actuators) is its compact design.
Eckart is a supplier and rotary actuator manufacturer for various applications including construction, mechanical, marine, and industrial.
