Machine Screw Actuator (Metric)
Duff-Norton Metric Actuators are manufactured to the same high quality standards and include all of the same features and benefits as the standard line of actuators while incorporating the following features:
  • Load Capacities in Tonnes
  • Mounting Dimensions in millimeters
  • Metric screw diameters with trapezoidal threads (machine screw actuators)
  • Metric shaft and keyway sizes per ISO recommended standards
  • All metric fasteners on machine screw units
  • Metric bolt centers
  • Other sizes and models available, contact Duff-Norton for more information

Machine Screw Actuator Performance Specifications (Metric)
Performance Table Instructions

When reviewing any Duff-Norton Actuator Performance Specifications Table, as part of the process of selecting the best-suited actuator for your application, there are several important worm-gear ratios to consider.

Standard Ratio - is frequently chosen when higher speeds and efficiency ratings are desired.
Optional Ratio(s) - is frequently chosen when the application requires higher lifting capacities, lower speeds, or to ease the use of a handwheel.
Numeric Ratio - is frequently chosen for applications requiring fine adjustments, higher lifting capacities, lower speeds, the easy use of a handwheel, self locking applications, and also offers the benefit of an even number of worm input turns per inch of stroke.

*For loads from 25% to 100% of the actuator capacity, torque requirements are approximately proportional to the load.
**Speed is a function of how the actuator is driven. Please see the "Motorized Performance" verticle tab to your screen's left.

All actuator models can be supplied with standard raises up to 24 inches. Special raises up to 20 feet are available upon request. Standard inverted keyed models do not have a cover pipe (except for the 1-ton and 75-ton models). Closed heights dimensions may increase for actuators supplied with bellows boots.
