Actuators used throughout industry to operate valves, equipment and plant frequently rely on Hiduron® special alloys for components such as stem nuts and worm wheels, which engage with lead screws to convert rotary movement into linear drive.
Why Hiduron® 130
Hiduron® 130 (DIN 2.1504, DTD900/4805, Hidurax Special) is chosen for its mechanical strength, which is equivalent to that of steel, its good resistance to shock loading, its good wear resistance, and its ability to work against steel without seizing under heavily loaded conditions.
Opperman Gears Ltd. of Newbury, Berkshire make several parts for "Limitorque" actuators used to operate valves, dampers, lock gates and more, and have used Hiduron® alloys very successfully for actuator stem nuts for many years.
