| Recognized worldwide as a leader in motor miniaturization, HIS has been building electric motors and switches for almost half a century. The company's manufacturing facility, located on ten acres in the heart of Connecticut, supports today's most efficient technology and manufacturing methods and is ISO 9001 certified. HIS custom designs and manufactures motors to be used in much of today's sophisticated medical equipment, instrumentation, machinery automation, printing and HVAC equipment. HIS currently ships an extensive line of motors and switches throughout the world to OEM's in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia.
Can Stack linear actuators are available in five basic frame sizes: 15 mm, 20 mm, 26 mm, 36 mm, and 46 mm, HIS's linear stepper motors are available with either captive or non-captive drive shafts and can deliver up to 50 lbs. Of thrust. Step increments range from 0.16 to 0.008 inch per step depending on the step angle of the motor and pitch of the lead screw. Standard prototypes typically have a rapid 48-hour turnaround.
HIS's hybrid linear actuator product line includes six sizes 8, 11, 14, 17, 23 and 34 and they are available in captive, non-captive and external versions. The hybrid product line features special engineering thermoplastics in the rotor drive nut and a stainless steel acme lead screw. This patent pending design opens new avenues for equipment designers who previously settled for products with inferior performance and endurance. Other types of HIS motors include rotary steppers, synchronous gear motors, pancake and oscillating motors and linear/rotary dual motion actuators. The size 14, 17 and 23 are available in the dual motion version. Dual motion units provide independent linear and rotary motion from a single compact unit and were awarded Best New Product of 1998 by Design News magazine.
The company's hermetically sealed switches are ideal for use in the harsh environments typically found in aerospace applications. High temperature versions can operate at up to 427° C. HIS's switches are in service on most commercial aircraft as well as on military aircraft and the space shuttle. HIS switches are built to meet stringent military specifications. To achieve and sustain such high levels of quality requires a combination of skilled engineering and production teams, special support facilities and coordinated quality control from design through production. HIS's capabilities encompass all of these factors, because of this, these switches are recognized throughout the world. In addition to aerospace applications the switches are well suited for industrial applications including oil industry field equipment, gas turbines and high temperature instrumentation.
Whether an application requires a standard item, custom, design, new product or more sophisticated complete assembly, in high volume or limited run, HIS's experienced engineering team will assist you. |
