ACTUATING LEVERS
Model AL1 and AL3
Light Duty and Heavy Duty Clamping Hub Styles

Light duty model AL1 and heavy duty AL3 clamping hub style actuating levers are used as intermediate levers between the main driving cam lever and the component to be activated. Their application is suitable when stroke amplification, reduction, or change in direction is required. CAD files are available.

PLEASE NOTE -- Our PT1 and PT2 pivot bearing dimensions have changed.  They now have a slightly larger shaft.  Therefore, if you are replacing an AL1 series lever with the older .375 bore, please be sure to note on the order:  BORE= .375


Note: Limit for any AL1 X or Y value: Maximum = 4.000,[101.60], Minimum = 1.000,[24.40] 



* - Typical Pivot Bearing and Bracket combinations.
