Each actuator is equipped with anti-friction bearings, one-piece heat treated ductile iron racks and pistons and one-piece, heat treated steel pinion and shaft. How it Operates The position of the actuator shaft is controlled by an electronic programmer acting through a servo valve. The controller compares the shaft position with the programmed position and operates the servo valve, which directs flow from the pump to the actuator, rotating it to the programmed position.
