Broom Control

Actuators can help with your Broom Control application

With public-service funding rising in some areas of the world and under stress in others, it's a perfect time to incorporate more cost-efficient and feature-filled electric linear actuators into maintenance vehicles. In broom control mechanisms in sweepers, electric actuators replace hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders for better control and smaller installations, and they eliminate the need for maintenance.

Reduced Design Costs

  • Smaller installations means increased flexibility in the overall design of the sweeper.
  • Built-in clutch or limit switches for end-of-stroke protection.

Reduced Installation Costs

  • Wide variety of mounting accessories and easy interface with multiple electronic controls.
  • Actuator can be placed for easy installation; no direct access needed for maintenance, and no need to accommodate the large bend radius of wire-wound throttle cables.

Reduced Operating Costs

  • Resistant to shock, vibration, wide temperature range and high sealing degree for reliable operation in all weather conditions.
  • Maintenance free, lubricated for life; won't weaken with age or low temperatures.

Increased Safety and Productivity

  • Will not leak hydraulic fluid, reducing the environmental hazards and expense of clean up
  • More precise control means faster and better sweeping.
