Combining Modular Design And Standard Components

Linear actuators enable easy customization suited to application

The CAT33 electro-mechanical linear actuators feature a modular design to enable easy customization with standard internal and external components. 

SKF's CAT33 electro-mechanical linear actuators hold the ability to select the most appropriate motors, gears, controls, attachments, and other options to meet application needs without encountering long lead times and higher costs typically associated with custom products.

SKF® USA, Inc. introduces its “CAT33” electro-mechanical linear actuators. According to the company, the actuators feature:

  • A modular design to enable easy customization with standard internal and external components. 
  • Ability to select the most appropriate motors, gears, controls, attachments, and other options to meet application needs without encountering long lead times and higher costs typically associated with custom products.
  • Ability to perform a variety of functions from opening/closing and clamping/gripping to raising/lowering and pushing/pulling. 
  • Availability of both right- and left-hand models.
  • Corrosion resistant for ideal use in foodservice and industrial applications.
  • 3 basic models including actuators with sliding screw for standard operation, sliding screw for high-speeds, or SKF ball screw for higher load and/or duty factors. 
  • Ability for users to specify standard or special stroke lengths, AC or DC motors, friction clutch gears, cables, front and rear attachments, and accessories ranging from limit switches to encoders, among others.
