Multi-motion Actuators by Rotomation

You’ll find Multi-motion actuators in manufacturing and packaging operations to electronics and pharmaceuticals. These versatile devices provide the precise and controlled movements needed for efficient material handling. This article delves into the capabilities and benefits of these actuators, highlighting their adaptability for diverse applications.

Understanding Multi-Motion Actuators

Multi-motion actuators are engineered to perform both linear and rotary motion, making them perfect for tasks that require lifting, rotating, and placing objects. The term multi-motion actuators reflects their ability to execute two motions controlled simultaneously or independently. This versatility stems from their unique construction, which combines a rotary section with a linear cylinder. This allows for a single actuator to perform pick and place motion for general applications where reliability and durability are important.

Multi-motion actuators are also uniquely capable of providing torque and thrust to the same part at the same time. This can be used for applications where a part must be twisted and pushed at the same time, such as installing a screw-on cap.

Need a Rotary Actuator That Can Weather the Storm?

Is corrosion a constant concern in your pneumatic operations? Are you searching for a rotary actuator that can withstand the toughest environments? Look no further!

Introducing our premium stainless steel pneumatic rotary actuators!

Stainless steel is the ultimate in corrosion resistant material for rotary actuators. Rotomation has produced many of its products on a special basis with all external surfaces of stainless steel.

Designed to excel in corrosive conditions, these actuators offer:

Superior Corrosion Resistance: Crafted from 303 or 316 stainless steel, they're built to last in harsh environments, including applications that involve exposure to:

Saltwater spray
Chemical washdowns
Food and beverage processing plants
Pulp and paper mills

Unmatched Durability: Count on reliable performance even in the most demanding applications, thanks to features like:

Oversized ball bearings that can handle heavy loads and allow for substantial hollow shafts
Rugged construction that can withstand shock and vibration
Rugged design elements of floating pistons, ground racks riding in replaceable bronze bearings, and fully machined bodies

Efficient and Powerful Performance: Powered by compressed air, these actuators offer:

High torque output
Fast response times
Low maintenance requirements

Extreme Configurability: Rotomation offers hundreds of billions of standard configurations so you can tailor an actuator precisely to your needs. Options include:

A wide range of sizes and rotation angles
Multiple shaft configurations including hollow shafts
Keyway clocking to suit
Mounting plates
Washdown protection
Wide variety of magnetic sensors

Customizable Solutions: Rotomation is happy to modify standard actuators to optimize your applications. Simple modifications often do not affect lead time and are reasonably priced. Some common customizations:

Shaft features such as holes, steps, flats, extra or reduced length
Special mounting or porting configuration
Manifolds for through-the-shaft air or vacuum
Hazardous location magnetic sensors

Don't let corrosion compromise your pneumatic operations. Discover how our stainless steel pneumatic rotary actuators can provide the reliability and performance you demand.
