GSWA04 ServoWeld® Servo Actuators
ServoWeld® GSWA44 and GSWA04 Series spot welding actuators provide the longest life (most weld) with highest force and efficiency.
The ServoWeld® GSWA44 and GSWA04 series actuators provide peak thrusts of 4,000 lbf (17.8 kN) for a variety of resistance spot welding gun applications (pinch guns, X guns, C guns). Utilizing a standard roller screw with the highest dynamic load rating, the GSWA44/04 are the longest lasting (most welds) spot welding actuators on the market. GSWA44/04 spot welding servo actuators are highly efficient, and its broad performance range allows it to easily handle multiple weld schedules and accommodate different materials / material thicknesses in resistance spot welding.
GSWA 44 and 04 spot welding actuators offer:
- 20+ million cycles with minimal maintenance
- Standard roller screw with highest dynamic load rating for more welds over competing roller screws, ball screws or pneumatic actuators
- ±3% force repeatability over life of actuator
- Light-weight actuator design
- Forces to 4,000 lbf (17.8 kN)
- Optional water cooling
- Integration for 7th axis operation with most global robot manufacturers

Success Stories
Auto Body Spot Welding
Product Family: Electric
Product Used: GSWA ServoWeld® Actuator
In auto body welding, servo linear actuators are used to improve weld quality by delivering highly repeatable force from cycle to cycle. This level of control helps reduce variation that can occur with conventional actuation methods.
