Helac Corporation offers a diverse line of helical, hydraulic rotary actuator to meet our customers' unique application requirements.

The L-Series rotary actuators offer large diameter drilled and tapped shaft flanges and integral, composition bearings and are commonly used for applications where load-bearing and intermittent positioning are the primary requirements. This actuator line is available in compact configurations and can carry tremendous radial, thrust and moment loads without the need for additional external bearing support.

The T-Series rotary actuators feature a one-piece through shaft and internal tapered roller bearings and are commonly used for applications where torque generation and higher frequency cycling are the primary requirements. The T20 Series can carry substantial radial, thrust and moment loads without external bearings while, at the same time, facilitating smooth operation and low breakaway pressures.
