Ram-Style Actuators

American Actuators has an unmatched range of electro-mechanical ram-style actuators. We can supply units that provide a few hundred pounds of continuous duty force, and units that can reach capacities of a few hundred tons. We understand the special design considerations that go into the nastiest environments, as well as those that go into mission-critical assemblies. Our team works with each customer to select the right mix of product attributes for the application, and we work diligently to provide the most cost-effective system solution.

American Actuators electro-mechanical ram-style actuators are rugged and reliable. By withstanding the harshest environments, our solutions maximize the intervals between necessary maintenance, increasing the productivity of the equipment and the safety of the operators, and reducing the overall operating costs.

Providing electro-mechanical actuators that: Install easily Provide reliable control Reduce downtime Minimize duty cycle limitations Eliminate leaking seals Improve safety Provide long-term performance Reduce operating costs

Precision Technology VersaRam Series

Precision Technology electromechanical linear actuators are a combination of ball-screw or trapezoidal screws driven via electrical motors which move a cylinder spindle, thus controlling both speed and position. Standard strokes range from 100 to 1.500 mm. Different lengths are available upon request. The maximum dynamic load capacity is 75.000N (8.5 Ton) and they can be installed on practically any kind of industrial machine where movement is required without using manual, pneumatic or hydraulic methods.
