Stainless Steel Machine Screw Actuators (Specifications)

      

Stainless Steel Machine Screw Actuators (Imperial)
Stainless Steel Machine Screw Actuators For harsh environments, Duff-Norton offers a complete line of stainless steel machine screw actuators in standard and special configurations for loads up to 100 tons. Duff-Norton Stainless Steel actuators incorporate all of the same features as Duff-Norton's standard machine screw actuators, but can be used in severe environments where other materials are inadequate. All exposed surfaces are made of 316 stainless steel including the lifting screw, housing, shell cap, worm and dust guard. Options include: anti-backlash and keyed lifting screws for translating screw models.

Duff-Norton offers a complete line of both standard and custom engineered stainless steel machine screw actuators for applications up to 100 tons.

  • Corrosion resistant
  • Stainless Steel Hardware
  • Sealed gear cavity for to keep contaminants out
  • Anti-backlash and Metric Machine Screw Actuators are also available - contact our customer service personnel for more information
Stainless Steel Machine Screw Actuator Performance Specifications (Imperial)
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.

*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.
