Exlar’s linear actuator line has been expanded to include the EL100 explosion-proof linear actuators, rated for Class I, Div 1, Groups B, C, D and T3 hazardous environments. The EL100 linear actuators also meet ATEX requirements for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and are in conformity with the EU ATEX Directive 94/9/EC.

The new version of Cadac Organice Transmit helps document controllers to further increase the efficiency in their document distribution process and offers even more capabilities to manage transmittals

Increased demand for smaller, faster mobile devices is leading to growth of LDS technology

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc, a leading manufacturer of precision linear motion products, introduces the extended stroke captive 19000 series linear actuator. The extended stroke 19000 series is the latest addition to the popular high output can-stack line offered by Haydon Kerk. The 1.22” (31mm) stroke length allows a greater range of linear motion while at the same time, maintaining the small mechanical footprint for use in demanding applications requiring compact components. With a body diameter of only 20mm and a linear force of up to 180 oz (50N), this linear actuator easily outperforms similar sized units in the marketplace today.
