Duff-norton Competitive Advantages

Smart Linear Actuators

Duff-Norton smart linear actuators combine intelligent solutions with robust machinery to allow simple installation, configuration and operation, allowing systems to be up and running quickly and reliably. Smart actuators are easier to set up, operate, adjust, troubleshoot and monitor by incorporating intelligent capabilities, such as those available from a variable frequency drive (VFD) or electronic programmable limit switches (EPLS).

Frequently Asked Questions

How to select linear actuators?

  • Determine the amount of force required to move and hold the load.
  • Determine the AC or DC motor voltage needed to operate the actuator.
  • Determine the distance the actuator needs to move.
  • Determine the speed required at which the linear actuator moves the load.
  • Determine the relative position or direction in which the force is applied.
  • Based on your project choose a type of linear actuator.

Where are Duff-Norton screw jacks used?

Screw jacks from Duff-Norton are used to lift, position (push, pull, tilt and roll) and support a wide range of loads. They are ideal for plastics machinery, beverage bottling systems, aircraft assembly and paper manufacturing. Screw jacks range in size from mini screw jacks that can support up to 1000 pounds to acme screw jacks that can support up to 350 tonnes and everything in between.

How to install linear actuators?

It is critical to mount the actuator to avoid side loading and eccentric loading. A clevis mount actuator should be able to pivot freely on its clevis pins. There should be no brackets or supports restraining the actuator housing or outer tube. The actuator should be mounted so that the load is applied along the longitudinal axis of the translating tube, thereby improving the actuator's performance and life.
