Linear (MSL)

Size: Thrust of 25K to 200K lbf
Operating Temperature: -13°F to 158°F (-25°C to 70°C)

Design Standard

The MS Series Electro-Hydraulic actuator by PDC LLC is the ideal product for any general service on/off application, with fail safe options available, if desired. Consisting of a self-contained, bi-directional motor driven pump with an integral hydraulic cylinder and mechanical drive modules.

The MS Electro-Hydraulic’s modular design allows you to choose the best combination for your service conditions. Consisting of a mechanical drive, a control box with a choice of optional Feedback and optional Fail-Safe configuration if desired.

The actuator assembly is installed on the driven device, while the control box can be attached to the actuator assembly or remotely. Connections are then made with cables. The control box offers local command of the driven device as well as from a remote location.

As a full-featured, self-contained actuator the general service MS Electro-Hydraulic actuator supplies various input and output capabilities which include:

Inputs

  1. Remote – two contact input; open/close with intermediate positioning
  2. Local – open/close/stop push buttons stroke control

Outputs

  1. Limit Switches – mechanical; end-of-travel only
  2. Alarm Relay – signifies when the unit is unable to follow the control signal
  3. Position Transmitter – 4 to 20 mA (Optional)
