It can be light or heavy in weight, but continued exposure to either type can lead to hindrance in actuator performance. Custom gaskets and protective bands can be designed to ensure that the exposure to dust is minimal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prevention of Moisture Exposure<\/strong>: The actuator can be designed with 316 stainless steel. This is the material used in most moisture filled environments, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/actuators-in-food-industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">food processing plants<\/a>. Type 316 SS is known for its immense strength and pitting resistance at elevated temperatures. Stainless steel casings can also be designed to protect the actuator\u2019s critical working components from any kind of contamination.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corrosion Protection<\/strong>: If any environment consists of moisture, sooner or later, there is bound to be corrosion. This is perhaps the most dangerous contaminant, which can seriously hinder the actuator\u2019s function. Stainless steel fasteners and components can be used for the actuator construction. The motor can also be enclosed in a housing for further protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Learn more on this topic in our related blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/blog\/custom-heavy-duty-linear-actuators-for-industrial-automation\/\">Why Should You Invest in Custom Design Industrial Heavy Duty Linear Actuators?<\/a><br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nThe solutions mentioned above are a few examples of how heavy duty linear actuators can be protected from contamination in industrial environments. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.venturemfgco.com\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discuss with the actuator manufacturer<\/a> about the various contaminants, which the actuator will be exposed to.
