Product catalog summary
Overview: The Lectrotab concept introduces a non-hydraulic trim tab actuator designed to be corrosion-resistant, maintenance-free, and permanently sealed. It operates effectively even with a fouled ram and requires no internal installation space within the boat.
Design Features: The Lectrotab actuator features a "stop and lock" drive mechanism for precise positioning and secure locking against tab deflection. It eliminates the risk of oil leaks as it contains no oil. The actuator is designed for easy retrofit, fitting directly into popular tab brackets. It includes a combination lower seal/scraper and a primary upper seal for effective ram sealing. The actuator uses a hardened steel free-wheeling ballscrew providing 700 pounds of force, eliminating the need for electrical limit switches.
Construction and Materials: The actuator has a non-metallic exterior for corrosion resistance and a greased and sealed 40:1 planetary gearbox for smooth, quiet operation. It includes a reversible D.C. motor with torque limitation to protect the gearbox and prevent ram overtravel. An electromagnetic suppression device ensures compliance with European CE standards.
Installation and Compatibility: The power cord can be routed through the upper bracket, which can be positioned from vertical to horizontal. The screw-hole pattern matches popular hydraulic types, and additional patterns are provided. Standard tabs are made from 12-gauge, 304 stainless steel with a two-piece integral-hinge design, available in various sizes.
Control Options: The basic panel includes two rocker switches, and a tab position indicator with LED display is available. The OVAL control is a microprocessor-based system that is waterproof and designed for exposed installations. The WIRELESS control offers similar features with additional quick-action buttons and uses radio frequency communication.
Product Variants: Lectrotab actuators are available in different lengths, voltages, and stroke times, with various bracket options. Tabs are available in standard and custom sizes, including a new patented alloy tab with a polypropylene live hinge.

'™ TRIM TAB SYSTEM CONCEPT & DESIGN The Lectrotab concept is to offer a non-hydraulic trim tab actuator which cannot corrode, requires no maintenance, is permanently sealed, will continue to operate with a fouled ram, has strong deploying as well as retracting power and requires no installation space inside the boat. The Lectrotab design, as shown at the right, addresses all of the above original concept criteria and much more. With no components to install inside the boat, original installation time is greatly reduced. The positive "stop and lock"drive mechanism allows precise positioning and absolute lock against tab deflection when backing down or if the tab is used as a boarding step. And oil can't leak-there is none. Check the design call outs for additional design features. wire exit position match the screw pattern and hydraulic connection of the most popular hydraulic type. An additional screw-hole pattern is also design, have no welds, are hinge rotating area to become fouled. Hinge pin is of 316 stainless steel.
