Continuous Duty Actuators (Imperial)

Duff-Norton Continuous Duty Cycle actuators are specifically designed for continuous operation. The gear set operates in an oil bath for thermal efficiency and long life. The shell is made of a finned aluminum for better cooling properties. Additionally, the Duff-Norton ball screw system increases these models efficiency.

  • Continuous operation (at rated capacities only)
  • Increased predictable life
  • High mechanical and thermal efficiency
  • Oil lubricated
