By combining the latest electronic power technology with advanced thermal management modelling technology, Inmoco’s new Exlar Tritex II electric servo actuators offer good performance for their size. They integrate an ac powered (1.5kW) servo drive, digital position controller, brushless motor and linear or rotary actuator in one compact, sealed package. With their integrated mechanical converters, Tritex II actuators eliminate the need for traditional ball screw or gear reducer mechanisms. They also incorporate all the required position control and power electronics into the actuator itself. Forces of approximately 18 kN (continuous) and 44 kN (peak) can be achieved.
Built-in software features include16-programmable indexes, linked moves and a firmware flash upgrade capability via the actuator’s Modbus port. In addition to Modbus, further communications options available on the Tritex II actuators include Ethernet/IP, HART, Modbus TCP/IP, CANopen, and CAN J1939 protocols.
The product's I/O capabilities include eight digital inputs, four digital outputs, plus one analogue input and output, and a choice of feedback options, including analogue Hall effect (standard), incremental encoder for high positioning resolution, and an the absolute feedback option, which will be available later this year.
Tritex II linear actuators provide the same form factor as hydraulic and pneumatic actuators and provide for simple, clean all-electric retrofits in what were formerly fluid power applications. They are available with many different mounting options (metric or Imperial) such as front flange, rear clevis mount, side mount, trunnion mount, extended tie rod, and rear flange.
Tritex II rotary actuators are available in standard IEC metric dimensions. Direct drive units, as well as units with integral planetary gearing, provide compact, powerful solutions for most rotary applications. Custom mounting and options for both rotary and linear actuators are available to meet a wide range of installation requirements.
