TURN-ACT Rotary Vane Actuator TA Series

Turn-Dex

   Turn-Dex is a rotary actuator with an internal unidirectional clutch. The output shaft rotates in one direction only and remains at end of stroke while the actuator is reversed. Turn-Dex is available in two series: the Comp-Act, incorporating the Comp-Act actuator and the Turn-Act, incorporating the Turn-Act actuator.

   Applications Include:

   • Turntable Work Stations
   • Drive Conveyor Rollers or Belts
   • Drive Material Feed Rollers
   • Ratchet Type Drive
   • Sheet Feed Material From a Stack
   • Perstalsis Pump Drive
   • Low Speed High Torque Motor
   • Product Mixing


   Application Considerations:

   • Overrun: The output shaft can be manually rotated only in its drive direction. Large loads may coast after the actuator has  stopped. The output shaft cannot be reverse rotated- Forcing it backwards could damage the Turn-Dex.

   • Accurate & Repeatabte Positioning:Due to the overrun nature of the clutch external stops, brakes, ro«er and detents or  shot-pins is required for accurate and repeatable positioning.

   • Special Options:Turn-Act will provide customized units to fit your specific application needs. Modifications include special  shafting, special mounts, dutch housings with shot-pin cylinders, disc brakes and thrust protection. Consult your Compact distributor for additional information.
