Remote Control Actuators - Quality Controlled

The Remote Control RCI265 Series actuator offers a torque that fills the gap between the RCIO260 and RCIO270 sizes. This model is the most advanced scotch yoke design Remote Control offers with external travel stops in both direction for ± 4 degrees of adjustment. It is available in both double acting and spring return, and incorporates the standard features from the rest of the 200 series Actuators. The pistons are guided in two places with reinforced Teflon bearings which ensure a long seal life. Also in addition an external cam can be customized for different rotations.
