Open the catalog to page 4Operating Technology Helac’s innovative, sliding-spline operation technology converts linear piston motion into powerful shaft rotation. Each actuator is comprised of a housing and two moving parts — the central shaft and piston. Helical spline teeth on the shaft engage matching teeth on the piston’s inside diameter. A second set of helical splines on the piston’s outside diameter mesh with the gear in the housing. STARTING POSITION The piston is completely bottomed out. Bars indicate starting positions of piston and shaft. The housing with integral gear remains stationary. ENDING POSITION...
Open the catalog to page 5Customized Products Helac Corporation can customize our rotary actuators to meet unique application requirements. Custom engineering can range from slight to complete, and is offered to those customers whose actuator needs match our program requirements. Mounting Options Cantilever Mount The load is mounted to the shaft flange and is supported at only one end of the shaft. Cantilever mounting is not recommended for aerial work platforms or other critical and safety-related applications. Straddle Mount The load is supported at both ends of the shaft. Cantilever Mount The upper portion of the...
Open the catalog to page 6Valve Configurations Optional factory mounted counterbalance valves prevent rotation in the event of a hydraulic line failure, control rotation when loads go over center, and protect the actuator against excessive torque loads. L10 with counterbalance valve Hydraulic Schematic of Optional Counterbalance Valve L20 with counterbalance valve L10, L20 AND T20 SERIES Manufactured from aluminum, the valve blocks are bolted to a flat mounting pad on the actuator housing. Three bolts secure the valve block to the actuator. See specification pages for valve location. The pilot ratio is 3:1. The...
