C40 is a sturdy and reliable chain actuator, with above-standard thrust and stroke, that can be installed on large windows for top-hung, bottom-hung and dome applications in commercial and industrial settings.
Specification text
Topp electric actuator model C40 with double-link articulated chain, housed in a dedicated casing, complete with bracket and accessories for top-hung outward or bottom-hung (tilt) opening. Operation at 230 V 50 Hz or, alternatively, at 24 V DC. Maximum applicable load 400 N. Quick-release attachment to the window frame. Maximum stroke 500 mm with stroke adjustment in 7 positions (100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500 mm) by means of a dedicated adjustment knob. Electronic closing limit stop by current sensing. Safety device to reduce the pulling force over the last 10 cm of the stroke. IP55 protection rating for the electrical components. On request, an S version is available, pre-set for synchronisation and simultaneous operation of two actuators installed on a single window.
CE-marked device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Over how many positions is the C40 stroke adjustable?
The C40 stroke is adjustable across 7 positions, from 100 up to 500 mm, via the dedicated knob.
Does the C40 require closing limit adjustments?
No: the closing limit stop works by current sensing, avoiding closing adjustments and compensating for any actuator positioning errors.
What is the protection rating of the C40?
The C40 has a high IP55 protection rating.
