IC Series Rotary Actuators
The IC Series can be used as a drop-in replacement to Helac’s rotary actuators. This series offers a cost-effective solution with faster lead times (20-26 weeks) or 10-14 weeks with optional expedited shipping. The series or type is chosen based on mounting style and required torque.
Save space while maintaining a high torque output. Flange-mount to flange mount, cantilever style.
The IC20 series rotary actuator has a max drive torque of 4,420 – 37,170 in-lbs at 3,045 psi. Foot mount to single or double flange, cantilever or straddle mount
Our IC Series high torque rotary actuator model, offering more torque than previous series with similar mounting options. Foot and flange mounting.
Rotary actuators for the refuse/waste and recycling container tipper market.
Optional load holding valves for intermediate position holding and over center conditions. Aluminum and steel configurations available.

What Makes Us Different?
Helical Spline Design
Helical gear rotary actuators are designed with space in mind and are suitable for many applications needing a compact solution.
Drop-In Replacements
The IC Series can be used as a drop-in replacement to Helac’s rotary actuators and offers quick lead times (20-26 weeks) or 10-14 weeks with expedited shipping.
Fast Lead Times
With strong partner relationships and the flexibility of a small business, we can ship to you in as quick as 10 weeks depending on model and shipment method.
Application Examples and Solutions
Each of our IC Series models fit a wide variety of applications and provide a large number of solutions across different industries such as waste management, forestry, mining, construction, and more.
IC10: Tree Care Handling in Forestry
Rotary actuators are typically used in forest and felling equipment to move components, such as grapplers or boom arms, in tree removal and timber harvesting applications.
IC20: Sprayers/Spreaders in Agriculture
Helical gear actuators create rotational movement and control for just about any farm machinery, from folding attachments for on-road transportation to positioning the nozzle of a mobile sprayer in place.
IC30: Drill Rigs in Mining
The actuator manipulates the drill arm and has a 360° rotation, enabling a full range of movement where the drill arm might need to create blast holes from the ground to the ceiling.
IC40: Waste Management
In the refuse/waste and recycling tipper market, standard degrees of rotation for tippers include 135° or 180°. The IC40 Series, however, offers rotations of 200° and 220°, adding more extension to the tipper to dump the components of the waste receptacle entirely.
