Rotary Motion For Automation

Bidirectional rotation between two positions, like a windshield wiper. Our mini, or compact, rotary actuators are designed for applications where space is of the essence and torque is as important.

Multi-position actuators provide back and forth rotation between three, four, or five positions in any sequence. The 3 position is the most common, but 4 or 5 position units give additional flexibility. For precision and versatility, our multi-position rotary actuators are a top choice.

Indexing actuators provide unidirectional rotation in fixed precise steps to hard stops. They prevent backward rotation and feature no accumulating error. Single or dual rack rotary indexers are available.

Stepping actuators provide unidirectional rotation in steps in a linear motion, like indexing actuators, but without the hard stops. These actuators also prevent backward rotation, but incur an accumulating error.

Multi-motion actuators combine a rotary section with a linear cylinder to provide independently-controlled linear and rotary motion. As multi-motion actuators, they can also provide stepping motion.

Nitpicker actuators provide independently-controlled combined indexing (unidirectional rotation in fixed steps to hard stops) rotation with linear motion. No backward rotation or accumulating error.
