Expertise

What is an Electric Actuator?

An electric actuator is a device that can create movement of a load, or an action requiring a force such as clamping, using an electric motor to create the necessary force.

What is an Electric Motor?

An Electric Motor is a device that turns electric current flow into mechanical rotation of a spindle, or rotor. The rotation is turned into linear motion in many applications.

What is an Electric Drive?

An electric drive (often referred to as an electric controller) is a device used to control the output of a motor used, for example, to produce linear motion. The drive will accurately control the motor output and the motor response against a controlling input.

Norgren ELION actuator range extended with IP65

Norgren has extended its range of electric actuators with the introduction of the rod-style Norgren ELION with IP65 rating. Its latest model has achieved the ingress protection rating designed to define levels of sealing effectiveness.
