1-3 The Hawk Actuator
The Hawk is a high-performance, rugged line of linear and rotary electro-hydraulic actuators and drives. It
is ideal for applications requiring high duty cycles, large thrust and torques, or fast stroking speeds. The
Hawk’s modular electro-hydraulic system is easily configurable to suit specific valve or damper control
requirements while at the same time providing safe and virtually maintenance free performance.
