                         ACT Series of
             Mechanical Loading Actuators
                     
                            Introduction
 
The ACT series of computer controlled actuators are very similar in design to hydraulic actuators except the piston rod is replaced by an internal ball screw which is driven by a DC servo motor.  The actuators may be mounted in any position for performing tension and compression testing on structures or load frames. The ACT series actuators are available in many different load capacities and stroke lengths over the range from 5 kN ( 1,100 lb) up to 50 kN (11,000 lb). The actuator design consists of a single ball screw driven mechanical loading actuator which protrudes from the mounting plate end of the actuator.  The screw is driven by a  DC servo electric motor operating in closed loop control for accurate loading control.  The easy to use Model TC-100 software is used for testing in tension and compression loading. The rugged design features of the ACT Series makes these systems suitable for  a wide variety of applications in both quality control and Research  and Development testing of products and components. Software packages are also available for performing creep tests and low cyclic rate fatigue testing. In addition, modifications to the software packages and the standard machine designs are available for special applications.
