Nook Electric Cylinders Deliver Rugged Actuation

November 29, 2011

Nook Industries Electric Cylinder series is ruggedly designed and intended for use in harsh/dirty industrial applications as it features ground and hard-chrome plated actuator tubes that enclose Nook's Precision Acme and Ball Screw system. Nook Electric Cylinders are completely enclosed-making them suitable for outdoor/off-road industrial applications including military use. Nook can also accommodate any MIL-SPEC paints for specific military applications.

Nook linear actuators are often "the heart of modern engineered applications" and it's no question why the Nook Electric Cylinder is primed for military combat applications. In comparison to alternative actuation devices Nook Electric Cylinders offers a great level of control, reliability and precision. The advantages of the Nook Electric Cylinders include a direct power source, no hoses, no leakage, a smaller footprint, high repeatability, and precision.
