GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Our new generation
Electric TurboDisk Recip-
rocator presents the ideal alternative to hydraulic
reciprocators particularly for applications that
demand critical regulation in blended pattern
applications. This machine can be configured to
deliver stroke lengths from 5 ft. (1.524m) to 32 ft.
(9.7536m) in one foot increments and provides for
multiple points of hesitation throughout the stroke
length. It performs at a machine speed of 60
inches per second and can be interfaced with PLC
technology. The Electric TurboDisk Reciprocator
is easy to service and is the ideal replacement
machine for existing hydraulic systems.
