No Power? No Problem!
The Safe & Secure Series is a compact cost effective solution for critical applications. With its own built in power supply the Safe & Secure Series couples the reliability of our American made electric actuators with the added security of a fail-safe battery back-up system.
Not only this unit includes an internal battery pack, it is also field adjustable to fail closed, fail open or continue standard operations. Continue operation is available as long as the control signal is still being transmitted.
The Safe & Secure Series leaves you in total control at all times during any sudden loss of utility power.

What does SIL stand for in safety?
Nowadays safety systems saturate the industrial substructure, spreading protective influence all the way to an industry’s end result. Modern safety structures minimize risk with effective enhancements that commonly increase dependability, proficiency and viability. Severe temperature and pressure, volatile and hazardous materials are merely a handful of the concerns met on a regular basis in the process industry. Dependability is a fundamental element of safety; the more reliable the...Read moreHow to Choose the Right Fuse for your Electric Actuator
Although safeguards are implemented numerous times over while constructing electrically automated flow systems, overcurrent can still be crippling if fuses are inaccurately rated for the application. In this editorial I will offer you the information necessary to prevent a potential halt of production or in some applications catastrophic failure. The job of a fuse is to shield not only the equipment itself but also employees from severe impairment resulting in repairing or replacing equipment...Read moreTroubleshooting Electric Actuators Motor Failure
The likelihood of a motor failure without external causes is very rare. Motor failure rates from our experience are less than 1 in 10,000 motors. Based on the statistical likelihood of an actual faulty motor you need to be skeptical of all claims in regards to a “faulty motor” especially when the actuator is still under the factory warranty. Even if the motor has failed, odds are that there is some other underlying issue or external cause that has led to a motor failure. Motor...Read moreAnodized Materials for Food Manufacturing / Preparation Equipment
Due to the nature and physical properties of anodic coatings, anodized aluminum products and components are used in thousands of commercial and consumer food processing applications, including: Automatic Icemakers Display Cases Pans Coolers Grills Traditional and Deep-Dish Pizza Pans Bake Ware Gourmet Cookware Automated Packaging Equipment Food Processing Equipment This is just a small sample of food-related products made, in whole or part, of anodized aluminum. Anodized Aluminum Actuator...Read more
