Curtiss-Wright’s Actuation Division has expanded its Exlar electric actuator products to include hygienic actuators with FDA-approved materials and finishes. Designed for automation systems in the food and beverage, packaging and pharmaceutical industries, the GTF helps customers achieve hygienic certifications such as USDA, 3-A, BISSC and EHEDG more economically than currently available products in the market. The GTF is designed to offer numerous configuration options including an IP69K washdown variant. The high-performance inverted roller screw, servo-driven design and compact form make the GTF ideal for builders of hygienic machinery to easily incorporate into their designs.
