Many industrial applications demand complex actuation solutions that go beyond simple linear motions. You may have applications that require multiple load considerations, including radial, axial, and moment loads. This complexity makes it challenging to find a single actuator that can handle all of the necessary combined forces effectively. That’s why Triad Technologies is excited to offer Parker Helac Rotary Actuators, a line of powerful solutions designed to tackle these tough applications.

 

Helac rotary actuators are unique in the industry due to their combination of heavy-duty characteristics. They provide high output torque in compact envelopes, resulting in industry-leading power density. Additionally, they act as the main super-structure or bearing system that supports huge radial, axial, and moment loads. Essentially, Helac actuators are rugged, heavy-duty bearing assemblies that are live, torque-transmitting devices.

 

Helac rotary actuators are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications including:

Simple Applications

Lift Actuator (A): These actuators can provide the high torque and radial load support needed to lift heavy objects and materials.
Wrist Actuator (B): Enables precise positioning of materials with combined torque and moment loads.

Heavy-Duty Tandem Applications

Multiple actuators can be configured together for heavy-duty applications such as:
  - Bin dumping
  - Ramp and gate deployment
  - Ladder deployment
  - Inverting a load (in place of cranes or rigging) - see video below!

Cantilever Movement

This series can deliver high torque and handle significant moment loads ideal for:
  - Crane rotation
  - Concrete chute rotation

 

This series from Parker offers several options to help carry the load:
