A. Actuator Requirements 1. Fifteen (15) actuators are required for 15 lanes. 2. Actuators must hold the following targets at a minimum: cardboard target, plastic target, or a foam backer. 3. Actuators must include a metal one-handed release clamp capable of securely holding various target types. 4. Actuators must rotate 90°, 180°, and 360°. Target rotation must offer a random edge of target position to provide a more realistic presentation of the target, and not just a flat facing target. 5. Actuators must function normally in a wide range of temperatures and weather conditions, as the range is outdoors and located in North Texas. 6. Actuator motors must be rated 24vdc maximum. 7. Actuators should be field repairable for minor repairs utilizing standard hand tools, such as socket wrench, screwdriver, and spanring pliers. 8. Actuators must be controlled by a vendor provided control system (computer or tablet) with a wireless remote. 9. Actuators must connect to a control system to allow multiple units to operate in a pre-programmed scenario. 10. Actuator body must be constructed of solid steel plate with hot-dip galvanized (HDG) coating, or equivalent. 11. Internal components must be protected by removable steel housing. 12. The mechanism must be protected from splatter at all angles by a minimum 3/8 inch AR500 steel guard to protect control wires running inside. Actuator must provide ¾ inch to 1 inch conduit interface from the bottom or rear of unit. 13. The actuator design must exclude the use of ball bearings or any bearing surfaces made from ferrous materials. Instead, it should incorporate thrust bearings with permanent lubrication, engineered to maintain consistent and reliable function under varying load conditions and radial movements. 14. Each actuator must rotate independently.
