The ServoGate actuator is the first compact, high performance electric actuator developed specifically to replace the bulky hydraulic valve manifolds and hydraulic power systems used for valve gate control and sequencing. By eliminating a number of variables found in fluid power systems, such as fluid bulk modulus and viscosity changes, the ServoGate actuator delivers precise gate control in a compact package measuring less than 7.0” X 7.0” (17.8 cm X 17.8 cm). “For years, veterans of hot runner molding technology have looked for the perfect valve gate. ServoGate’s all-electric solution improves shot accuracy and repeatability of injection molded parts, regardless of whether it’s applied to a standard or all-electric injection press," said Gary Rosengren, Director of Engineering.
