Actuator
WU2000 Actuator
WU2000 is a compact electric actuator for standard web guiding correction frames. It receives commands from the controller and moves the correction frame to keep the web aligned during continuous production.
Key Features
Compact correction drive for standard web guiding packages.
- Built-in electronic braking helps hold accurate positioning.
- Built-in position feedback shows stroke position in real time.
- Limit and center positions can be set through controller parameters.
- Driver temperature and motor current can be displayed in real time.
- Stroke options can be selected according to frame structure and correction requirements.

Replacement & Spare Part
Replacing a WU2000 on an existing machine?
WU2000 is an EURDOW actuator and runs only with EURDOW controllers — the WGC01 and WFC01, or the discontinued WGC02. It does not work with Pausource controllers such as the PC100A. If the actuator on your machine carries the EURDOW nameplate and is driven by one of those controllers, this is the unit to compare against.
What to send us
A photo of the nameplate, a photo of the actuator in place showing both mounting ends and the cable, the controller model it is connected to, and the quantity. If the nameplate is unreadable, the body length and the mounting centre distance usually identify it.
What ships
The actuator. Mounting brackets can be supplied as well if yours are damaged — say so in your message.
Dimension drawing: available on request. Ask for it by email and check it against the unit on your machine before ordering.
Choosing the Stroke
The actuator stroke does not have to match the frame’s mechanical travel.
This is the question we are asked most often when a WU2000 has to be replaced, and the answer is usually simpler than expected.
- EURDOW actuators use electronic limits. After installation the controller runs a stroke self-learning routine and the actuator adapts to the mechanical limits of the frame, so it never drives into the end stops.
- That means a longer stroke is safe. If the frame only travels ±50 mm, a ±75 mm or ±100 mm WU2000 will work.
- Choose the stroke from the correction you actually need, with roughly twice that as margin — not from the frame’s travel.
- The real limit is installation space. A longer stroke means a longer body, so check that it fits between the mounting points.
When you order, quote the stroke in ±mm rather than a suffix such as “WU2000-50”. Suffixes are printed inconsistently in some catalogues, and ±mm leaves no room for doubt.

Commonly reported WU2000 symptoms
Not every fault that looks like a failed actuator is one. These are the patterns we are asked about most often, and what they usually turn out to mean.
Does not move at all
Check the cable and the connector at the controller first. If it moves under manual command but not in automatic, the problem is on the sensor side, not the actuator.
Runs to one end and stays there
Usually the incoming lateral error is larger than the correction range, which points at the roll or upstream alignment. After an actuator has been replaced, also re-run the stroke self-learning so the controller knows the new limits.
Hunts back and forth around the centre
Usually controller gain or mechanical play in the frame or coupling. Check the frame for backlash and reduce gain before replacing anything.
Motor runs but the frame does not follow
Mechanical: a loose coupling or a binding slide. Try moving the frame by hand with the actuator disconnected.
If the symptom is not on this list, describe it in your message. It is cheaper for both of us to identify the actual fault than to ship the wrong part.
Selection Notes
Use WU2000 for standard guiding frames where moderate correction load and compact installation are required.
For larger structures or heavier correction demand, review WU10000 instead.
Standard Frames
Well suited to compact integrated frames and smaller split-frame layouts.
Moderate Loads
Recommended where the correction structure and web tension do not require a high-capacity actuator.
Easy Package Match
Commonly paired with WGC01 or WFC01 controllers and an edge sensor for complete closed-loop correction.
