Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum depth rating for these underwater actuators?

The self-compensated linear and rotary actuators are rated to 3,000 msw (meters of sea water), while the Trunion 1000N and 60,000N linear actuators are rated to 6,000 meters. All models are pressure-compensated with oil to ensure reliable operation at extreme subsea depths without external housing modifications.
