Beck Electric Actuators

Designed for demanding continuous modulation applications

IPT Engineering supplies and supports Beck electric actuators for industrial applications where accurate positioning, continuous modulation and dependable operation are important.

Beck actuators are designed and manufactured in a purpose-built facility in Pennsylvania, USA. Their design differs from conventional electric actuators and is particularly suited to applications requiring continuous modulation.

Beck actuators have been used in industrial applications for many decades, including power generation, waste-to-energy, glass, process industries and other demanding installations.

Why Beck?

Continuous Modulation

Beck no-burnout motors are designed for continuous modulation without the duty limitations commonly associated with conventional actuator motors.

Fast Response

The motor reaches full speed and torque in less than 50 milliseconds and stops within approximately 25 milliseconds.

Accurate Positioning

Contactless position sensing and low-backlash spur gearing provide accurate and repeatable positioning.
