The Model 808 Percussion Welder Actuator is a solenoid specifically designed for percussion welding, with a low mass of the moving parts, allowing for the rapid acceleration of the weldment held in the moving wire holder. Rapid acceleration is crucial to producing clean and strong weld joints the instant the two dissimilar metals come into contact. With the operating voltage provided by the 858 Percussion Welder, the 808 Actuator delivers consistent acceleration, which results in a consistent and repeatable welding process, allowing it to form an efficient and crucial tool in production.

FAQ

What is the Model 808 Actuator?

A solenoid designed specifically for percussion welding. The moving parts have low mass, so the weldment held in the moving wire holder accelerates rapidly.

Why does acceleration matter?

Rapid acceleration is what produces a clean, strong joint at the instant the two metals make contact. Consistent acceleration gives a consistent, repeatable welding process.

What are the 808's key dimensions and ratings?

Overall length 5.07 in, mounting plate 1.38 in x 1.38 in, stroke 0.90 in, operating voltage 0 to 150 VDC, coil resistance 2 ohms, speed 0 to 33 in/s across 0 to 150 V.

What drives the actuator?

The operating voltage comes from the 858 Percussion Welder.

How much maintenance does it need?

The 808 is designed to be easy to use and maintain, with a simple design and low maintenance requirements.
