Linear Actuators in Massachusetts Suppliers and Manufacturers

NV Mechanics Design offers actuators spanning from 1,000 N (220 LBS) up to 77,500 N (approximately 7,000 LBS), depending on the model. The 60,000 N Force model delivers up to 50,000 N, while the Trunion series scales across multiple configurations. Contact the manufacturer to select the right force rating for your application.

All underwater linear actuators are constructed from either Stainless Steel 316 (SST 316) or Titanium, both of which provide excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater and marine environments. Seacon underwater connectors are used for reliable subsea electrical connectivity. Material selection depends on deployment depth, weight constraints, and budget considerations.

The Self-Compensated Linear Actuator integrates RS422 (RS485 full-duplex) or RS232 serial communication at 19200 baud for standalone position control without an external driver. Other models use an external rotary resolver on the motor shaft for position feedback. A Windows software utility and documentation, including quick-start and integration guides, are also available.

Yes. All actuators from NV Mechanics Design are pressure compensated with oil, allowing them to operate at rated depths without pressure damage to internal components. The Self-Compensated model additionally houses all driver and logic circuitry internally, further simplifying system integration in subsea housings and ROV frames.

These actuators are used in deep-sea ROVs, subsea valve and pipeline actuation, offshore oil and gas infrastructure, underwater robotics and automation, marine research and oceanographic instrumentation, and water tank cleaning robots. They are suited for any application requiring reliable, high-force actuation in high-pressure underwater environments.

Power supply compatibility varies by model. The Self-Compensated actuator operates on 24 VDC. The Trunion 1000N series supports 24 VDC, 48 VDC, and 230 VDC. The 60,000 N Force model operates on 230 VDC. Selecting the correct model ensures compatibility with your vehicle or subsea power distribution system.
