Combining intelligent controls with some of the highest-quality hardware available on the market, Columbus McKinnon presents its first smart actuator: the Duff-Norton® SPA Linear Actuator with Intelli-Motion™️ Technology. As the latest product to join our family of automation-focused solutions, this intelligent actuator offers ease of installation, quick configuration, and simple operation to ensure your system can get up and running quickly.
Smart linear actuators combine intelligent solutions with robust machinery to enable easy installation, configuration, and operation so systems can get up and running quickly and perform reliably. By incorporating these intelligent capabilities, such as those available from a variable frequency drive (VFD) or electronic programmable limit switches (EPLS), smart actuators become easier to set up, operate, adjust, troubleshoot, and monitor.
