*1 Electric Actuating Valve is recommended for feeds that have stroke length over 8” (203mm).
Add “E” to model number.*2 Thinner materials and/or long strokes with thin materials possible by using anti-buckling guides.
Maximum thickness capacity increases by same percentage as stock width decreases (up tomax. of 150%).*3 Approximate at maximum stroke length. Heavy stock requires slower speeds.
*4 At 100 psi (6.9 bar). (Includes allowance for normal friction of moving parts).
Add “W” to Model A or B for replaceable wear plates (standard on all other models).
Add “P” to model no. for feed with control port only. Add “S” to model no. for feed with end-of-stroke sensors.
Feeds should always draw material from a free loop, supplied by a powered reel or powered straightener.
