RACO electrical cylinders in hydraulic steelwork

Electro-mechanical adjusting systems instead of hydraulic ones are increasingly gaining significance, especially in water resources management. The aspects of environmental compatibility and operating costs are especially convincing in comparison with hydraulics.

RACO has been developing electrical cylinders for over 50 years, which run extremely reliably and indestructibly even in extreme environmental conditions. Reliable, powerful and robust: these are characteristics that are indispensable for use in sluices.

Benefits of RACO electrical cylinders:

  • easy installation and start up
  • low operation costs
  • engineering in accordance with the DIN 19704 and ZTV-W regulation
  • Full electromechanical principle without any leakage issue (does not ice up or freeze)
  • maintenance-free
