Find the right SuperCylinder for your business
There are many factors to consider when deciding on a linear actuator.
With this guide, you can:
- Save time researching different cylinders
- Understand the different considerations to make
- Decide on the right SuperCylinder for you
Critical applications that demand high capacities and even higher speeds are finding the solution in SuperCylinders. Replacing both standard electric and hydraulic cylinders, SuperCylinders are already being used in the mining, steel, defense, materials handling, communications and food industries.
The SuperCylinder range is modular and this approach is deliberate because it allows an unlimited number of configuration possibilities. This means that you can tailor your SuperCylinder to your specific application enabling the control of actuator speed, load specification, capacity, motor type and even life requirements.
However, you also need to consider the installation procedure as this will vary depending on the environment you’re putting your SuperCylinder into. We’ll cover this and more in our guide to choosing the right SuperCylinder
At Duff-Norton, we offer three specific types of SuperCylinder:
THE SCD SERIES
This is the newest series of the three and is a direct drive model with the cylinder’s ball screw connecting in-line to its motor.
THE SCW SERIES
This combines a ball screw or ACME screw driven translating tube system with the existed clevis mounted worm gear actuators.
THE SCN SERIES
This series combines the ball screw driven translating tube system with trunnion mounted high-efficiency helical or helical-bevel, oil filled
gearboxes coupled to a motor and reducer through a trunnion housing.
To make sure you choose the right SuperCylinder for your application,we recommend you discuss your requirements with one of our engineers.
