SKF manufactures a range of electromechanical actuators, including linear and rotary actuators, telescopic columns, control units, and accessories. These actuators are used in various industries and are driven by electric motors with gear drives. SKF offers a wide range of sizes, output ratings, and voltages to meet different application requirements.
SKF actuators are a family of electromechanical actuators manufactured by the SKF company. These actuators are part of the broader family of linear motion products from the SKF Group and include several sub-categories, including telescopic columns, control units and accessories. These products generate linear or rotary motion used to activate a huge variety of industrial process components, vehicle systems, and engineering machine functions. Most are driven by electric motors which transfer their rotary motion to the actuator linkages via gear arrangements. The full range of SKF actuators includes a wide variety of sizes, output ratings and voltages to meet a variety of application requirements.
Electromechanical actuators are devices designed to produce a predictable, set range of motion when activated. This motion is then used to activate various other processes. These processes can range from the activation of heavy industrial components such as the opening or closing of large conveyor chute doors, to tiny, highly precise engineering machine adjustments. The SKF Group is the manufacturer of a well-known range of this type of electromechanical actuator. Examples of the SKF family of actuators can be found in a wide range of industries, including heavy industry, agriculture and engineering as well as automotive and chemical.
The SKF actuator product family includes a number of subcategories. These include linear actuators that provide linear motion for operating doors, machine parts, shutters and vents, and vehicle systems, among others. Another of the sub-categories of SKF actuators is the group of rotary actuators, devices that provide rotary actuating motion and are used on machine control mechanisms, industrial process components and automotive systems. The SKF Group also manufactures a range of telescopic pillar actuators capable of carrying and lifting extreme loads. Other product sub-categories include control units and accessories designed to integrate with the SKF actuator product range, including multiple output control units, foot switches and precision motion transfer slides.
Most of the SKF actuator range is driven by electric motors available in single-phase or three-phase alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) models. A wide range of power outputs and voltage selections are also available. Motion transfer in these types of actuators is achieved through precision gear drives that offer excellent input-to-output power ratios, superior reliability, and ease of maintenance. Commonly used gear types include planetary, worm, and rack-and-pinion systems. SKF also uses a ball and roller system in some of its actuators which allows for very compact and efficient actuation packages.
