Humphrey Guided Actuators-- Info

Diffley-Wright Corporation

Guided Actuators have a simple, rugged design that provides:

Two different types are available:

	GC: An economical performer for simple push applications. (Click image to see full-sized version, and for more information)
	GS: An enhanced version with superior rigidity and accuracy, especially designed for pick-and-place applications. Supplied with shock absorbers and infinite stroke adjustment. (Click image to see full-sized version, and for more information)

Each model is available in the following bore sizes and stroke lengths:

Humphrey Guided Actuators are easy to work with.

Easy to specify

Three dimensional CAD drawings available.
Units come in standard lengths and have full stroke adjustment.
GS models have proximity switches and shock absorbers integrated into the actuator body for a clean, compact design.

Easy to order

Simple part numbering system.
Bumpers, collars, shock absorbers, and piston magnets are standard on all models.

Easy to install

Precision-machined body and tool plates have key slots and a universal mounting hole pattern that allows easy, precise mounting to secondary actuators and equipment.
A series of adapter plates is available to provide direct mounting with other Humphrey actuators.
Can be mounted directly to many extruded framing systems.

Easy stroke adjustment

Easy to mount and position sensor switches

PS2 and PS3 proximity sensor switches for GS models need not be repositioned when stroke is adjusted. This savest ime during machine set up.

Easy to service

Bearings, shock absorbers and proximity switches are standard industrial components and are widely available for fast actuator service or repair.
