Discover linear actuators for precise motion and demanding hygiene requirements in the food and beverage industry.
Electric Linear Actuators for Food & Beverage
Food and beverage producers often have unique performance requirements for design of linear actuators. Clean, consistent, control with electric linear actuators means no air, no oil, and no leaks. Additionally, superior control provides:
Easy-to-clean designs and suitable ingress protection ratings for demanding production environments.
Hygienic construction. Specially designed stainless steel actuators support hygienic machine designs. Alongside material selection, surface finishes, connections and mounting locations are key considerations.
Designed for intensive cleaning. The IMA-S, RSH and ERD-SS2 series offer IP69K protection for demanding washdown applications. Selection is based on the cleaning process and operating conditions.
The right drive architecture. Integrated servo actuators combine the motor and linear mechanism in a single unit. Designs with a separate motor mounting interface allow a suitable motor to be selected for the machine.
Cleaning and maintenance built in. Accessible mounting locations simplify routine cleaning and maintenance. Proper installation and adherence to the manufacturer’s instructions are therefore essential parts of the design process.
In the food and beverage industry, our electrical actuators are often used for filling containers and bottles, dispensing a wide range of food and beverage products, cutting and slicing, pressing, pick and place functionality, and more.
With a full range of electric linear actuator designs driven by various screw technologies, we can tailor solutions to the most demanding food and beverage applications. Some applications food- and beverage-grade actuators can be used for various processes, including:
Stainless Steel Servo Motor Actuator
Combines a hygienic electric rod actuator and motor into one package. It is IP69K, built with 316 SST, and works with 3rd party drives and accessories. Forces up to 11.1 kN.
Food Grade Servo Actuator
Food grade design combines an electric rod actuator and motor into one design with a white epoxy coating for wash-down environments. Integrates with 3rd party drives and accessories. Forces up to 30.6kN.
Hygienic Electric Actuators
316 stainless steel construction and IP69K rating provide an electric rod style actuator ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical machines. Forces up to 35.3 kN.
Actuators with Integrated Motor
All stainless steel electric rod actuator that combines a motor in a protective enclosure for an all in one actuator and motor solution in an IP69k rated enclosure. Forces up to 1.4 kN.
Electric Linear Actuators
RSA Electric Linear Actuators deliver high precision and force, offering a reliable alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. Featuring a robust design and multiple screw options, they are ideal for motion control, valve actuation, punch presses, injection molding, and various industrial applications.
