HABONIM ACTUATORS
CompAct Actuator Features
Balanced Forces
The cube-shaped configuration positions the pistons in a way that allows each piston to develop
thrust along its own axis with zero side load. This efficient design eliminates the use of guide
rods and thrust bearings. The result is less stress on the seals than off-axis piston thrust, which
is caused by the piston side loading that is inherent in the geometry of traditional actuator
configurations.
Less Wear
The CompAct’s unique 4-piston design achieves a more uniform load distribution than
standard single-or double-piston actuators, therefore greatly reducing the wear on gears at
the points of contact between rack and pinion.
The force-balanced, shorter-stroke piston prevents uneven wear of O-rings, gears and pistons.
This design eliminates the need for bearings and guiding rods and reduces the number of soft
parts, thereby resulting in longer maintenance schedules and lower cost of repair kits.
The surface of the four cylinders is hardened by an anodizing treatment, which protects their
high surface finish.
Superior Corrosion Resistance
The body and covers are anodized internally and externally to protect against corrosive
atmospheres tested to more than 336 hours of life in a salt spray bath. An external epoxy
base layer and a second layer of polyurethane paint provide additional protection against
aggressive environments.
Less Air Consumption
Fast action is one of the most attractive features of the CompAct 4-piston actuator. The
distinctive four-piston design allows for a smaller diameter actuator pinion that significantly
shortens piston travel and response time.
