We have just completed testing on our new heavy lift Pro-Drive Electric gear actuators.
Our Pro-Drive HL series actuators are planetary driven gearing providing outstanding torque and durability. Pro-Drive HL provides 2.5 times more torque than our standard actuators and transit time is only about 1.5 seconds longer. The larger planetary gearbox is practically bullet proof!
Pro-Drive HL will be standard equipment on our Hercules series retracts and offered as an option on the Taurus series. HL Series actuators use the same landing gear controllers, same settings.
We are expecting stock in roughly 3 weeks....
Stay tuned.

Very nice!
What system are they working on, stepper motors, stall current or something different perhaps?

John

Hi John,
All of our actuators work on stall current at this time.

Nice work, they seem to have plenty of power!
It's good to see someone else dipping their toe in the water, it's what pushes things on!

Any idea if these will retrofit into any other manufactures retracts?

Yes! So far, we have installed our actuators in Robart 630 and 635 series and several models of Airpower/Skymaster retracts. I have not tried other brands as of yet but if you have a specific brand you wish to convert, we can work with you to see if fitment is possible. Just contact me at [email protected] or 386-852-4793 to discuss.
