Rotary Actuators – IC40 Series

The IC40 is the IC Series helical-spline hydraulic rotary actuator built for the refuse, waste, and recycling tipper market. It offers a drive torque from 24,780 to 59,290 in-lb (2,800 to 6,700 Nm) at 3,045 psi (210 bar) across three sizes. It features a unique 200° or 220° of rotation to fully empty bin contents. The IC40 is a direct drop-in replacement for the Helac T-series and ships in 20–26 weeks standard or 10–14 weeks via expedited airfreight.

Given its high bearings and precision accuracy, it is a solution for many applications that involve positioning, rotating devices, steering, and more. The IC40 series also achieves high performance for applications needing to consistently maintain high torque outputs. Additionally, the IC Series was designed with high shock absorption to preserve the product’s life.

Straddle Mounting

Straddle mounting is ideal for loads needing support at both ends of the shaft. Similar to cantilever mounting, the top of the load is bolted to the shaft flange. Then, the bottom is bolted to the end cap flange.

Helical Spline Hydraulic Rotary Actuators

Our rotary actuators are the helical spline design. This means, a piston and a helix, or sliding spline, work together to convert the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion. Composed of two moving parts and some form of housing, the sliding helical splined gear concept within the actuator is used in many applications where a rotary movement is required. Helical Spline Actuators function when the piston is axially displaced using hydraulic pressure causing simultaneous rotation of the piston. Standard amounts of rotation are 200° and 220°. The primary benefit to this type product compared to alternative designs such as linkages using hydraulic cylinders (linear actuators) is its compact design.
