Heavy Duty Actuators  

Sun-North manufactures two different sizes of linear actuators, a medium duty (BX) with 1500 lbs of lift and a heavy duty (BXX) with 2500lbs of lift. The sizes range from 15” to 76” of travel meaning the largest actuator lifts a panel or curtain that covers a 76”or 1.95 m opening.

• Actuators are contained in a 16 GA galvanized steel enclosure and can be mounted inside or outside of a building.
• Each actuator is equipped with a manual turning nut (on the end) that is easily accessible with a ratchet allowing operation of the actuator to open a curtain or panel during a power failure.
• The motor compartment is completely separate allowing ease of service and exchange.
• Potentiometers for auto curtain positioning and feedback are available for easy attachment.
• Gear box attachments for manual override are readily available.
