Handwheel actuators

Handwheel actuators provide the most basic method for motion adjustment. For systems fitted with larger flanges, a geared-handwheel is fitted to overcome the addition torque.

Pneumatic actuators

Pneumatic actuators provide a simple solution to automated operation for extended and compressed positioning.

Motorisation

A selection of motors are available to meet the load, speed and positioning requirements of each application. All motorised linear shift mechanisms are supplied with bakeable limit switches. UHV Design offer two single-axis motor controllers. The first provides simple control of a DC motor, while the second offers a complete control centre for driving a stepper motor.  For further information on each click here for the DC motor controller and here for the programmable stepper motor control centre.

Motorised actuation

When purchasing a Linear Shift Mechanism for UHV Design controllers, an additional integration upgrade is available. The upgrade includes a bakeable socket connector, mounted to the frame, to which the limit switches are pre-wired. In the case of stepper motor driven products, an extra home switch is also provided. The motor lead is also upgraded for both types, terminating with a connector compliant with the controller cabling. Selection of this upgrade provides a complete solution to motion control.
