The Framo Limax from Rodriguez is a linear actuator with a maximum force rating.

Its modular design uses an in-line layout of motor, planetary gearing and lead or ballscrew drive to achieve a high force rating in relation to the diameter of the body.

It is also available with a range of options enabling the actuator to be tailored to the exact requirements of the application.

These include a choice of motors, encoders and other customised adaptations, including stroke lengths.

Various types of mounting and end connections may also be specified.

As standard, Limax has an all-stainless-steel body, piston and end fittings.

These features, coupled with an IP65 rating, allow it to provide trouble-free actuation in exposed locations and corrosive environments.

The designers of this product have also paid particular attention to its aesthetics.

With its all-weather suitability, the device can be used for applications such as climate control systems on the facades of buildings.

Limax can be integrated into existing control systems.

Built-in stroke limit switches are fully adjustable allowing on-site fine tuning to suit the application.

It is reliable in extreme heat and in the presence of dust and moisture.

The company said that Limax is already being used in telecommunications and in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Limax is available in two basic body size diameters of 60mm and 80mm, with standard stroke lengths from 200mm to 800mm; shorter stroke lengths are available on request.

The units provide a stroke force of 5,200N with stroke speeds from 3mm/s to 360mm/s.
