MODEL COMPARISON

FULL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Used to gain a mechanical advantage, react horizontal forces into a bed plate or floor, and isolate an actuator from moments and side loads.

 

Max Force

Weight

Bell Crank

50 kN (11,000 lbs)

36 kg (80 lbs)

  • Includes 2 pillow block bearings and 25 mm spacers
  • When used to gain a mechanical advantage, the increased force achieved should not exceed the maximum load rating specified

Accessories:

  • Pillow Block Bearings: precision, self-aligning bearings for mounting bell cranks to a reaction base or stand
  • Universal Joints: provide a connection that will rotate about two axes
  • Rod End and Solid Spacers: provide a pivoting and rotating connection to actuators, struts, or other components
  • Mounting Brackets: used to mount assemblies to a bed plate

Used to obtain a mechanical advantage in either force or displacement and isolate actuators from moments and side loads.

Lever

50 kN (11,000 lbs)

41 kg (90 lbs)

  • Includes 2 pillow block bearings
  • When used to gain a mechanical advantage, the increased force achieved should not exceed the maximum load rating specified

Accessories:

  • Pillow Block Bearings: precision, self-aligning bearings for mounting levers to a reaction base or stand
  • Universal Joints: provide a connection that will rotate about two axes
  • Rod End and Solid Spacers: provide a pivoting and rotating connection to actuators, struts, or other components
  • Mounting Brackets: used to mount assemblies to a bed plate

Used to transfer loads in the axial direction of the strut. Universal ends allow other actuators or struts to be connected perpendicular to the axis of the strut for biaxial loads or motion.

22 Kg (48 lbs)

Accessories:

  • Rod Ends: heavy-duty connectors with integrated spherical bearings that bolt onto universal struts for connections that must rotate.
  • Rod End Swivels: bolt onto universal struts for connections that must pivot or rotate.
  • Load Cell / Actuator Adapters: connect rod ends on bell cranks and levers to load cells and actuators. 
  • Swivel Adapters: connect rod end swivels to components
  • Strut Adapters: bolt directly to the end of the universal struts to allow connections to load cells or actuators

Used to support bell cranks as well as other parts or assemblies. A series of holes in the stand along with slotted holes in the optional mounting plates and brackets provide for infinite height adjustment of the bell crank.
