Andco actuators are used in numerous different applications and industries

Andco actuators are self-contained, electro-mechanical actuators designed for reliable, precise, controlled motion, including but not limited to lifting and lowering, pushing, and pulling, and opening and closing. Andco actuator technology offers durability and performance for a full range of functions. Easy installation and low maintenance costs make Andco Actuator products the perfect choice for your application.

7000 Series Actuator

The Andco 7000 Series linear actuator is a completely self-contained, electromechanical device. Designed and fabricated for dependable, long-life operation, these actuators are used for positioning, automation of material handling, or flow control equipment.

How It Works
The 7000 Series actuators are driven by a high-starting torque, low-inertia motor connected to a drive screw through a set of gears. When the motor rotates the drive screw, the mating nut and attached extension rod move axially.

Upon completion of stroke, the gear-driven position limit switch interrupts power to the motor. If the movement of the extension rod is prevented in either direction at any point in actuator travel due to an external mechanical overload, a thrust switch will interrupt power to the motor.
