• 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.
