Linear actuator
DuraPlus(TM) high-torque linear actuators are designed for high power, longevity, and actuator efficiency and control in the medical, semiconductor, and telecommunications industries. The NEMA size 17 motor features 60 oz-in peak torque, 50 lbs of linear force, and an internal self-lubricated rotating nut precision machined of advanced polymers. Distortion and wear, due to linear motion high power output, is reportedly avoided with 300 Series stainless-steel leadscrews.

Peristaltic pumps
MityFlex(R) peristaltic pumps for automated warewashing include features such as increased flow rates and quick-release head covers for fast change-out of tubing. Interchangeable, multiple-roller pump heads also provide increased precision for injection and dosing of detergents, rinse agents, and other sanitizers. In the pump, the material being moved comes into contact only with the tubing; the fluids in transfer remain contamination-free. MityFlex pumps are sealless and self-priming, with consistent positive displacement.

Globe valves
Solenoid-actuated globe valves operate by an external lever connecting the lifting action of the linear actuator to the valve piston through a rotary shaft. The rotary shaft creates a mechanical advantage by enabling more force in operation, and allows stronger return spring action ensuring reliable, fail-safe return. The valves are available in .50- through 6-inch sizes and provide threaded, flanged, or weld-end connections.
