The Sidewinder II rotary actuator design is ultra compact and makes it one of the strongest and safest swing carriages available
Heavy load-carrying capacity; 8000 lbs. maximum capacity, 4000 lbs. rotated left or right 90 degrees, custom capacities available
Large internal nylon composition bearings support heavy radial moment and thrust loads without additional external bearings
Straddle mount - the load is supported at both ends of the shaft creating superior strength and less load stress, Sidewinder II is built to withstand heavy duty commercial and industrial applications
Corrosion resistance: tough exclusion seals minimize ingress of dirt and moisture; grease ports enable contaminants to be flushed from bearings; no exposed gears or teeth increasing actuator life and safety; sealed systems protects against harsh elements and conditions
High shock resistance: innovative sliding spline operation distributes loads equally over all teeth resulting in outstanding resilience to shock loads and unparalleled holding capability
Built in braking system protects against unwanted swing if there is a loss of hydraulic pressures
Sidewinder II has undergone laboratory testing and achieved a 3 to 1 safety factor for load ratings
