Tritex II™ AC Powered Actuators
15 February 2013
Industry’s Most Compact All-In-One Linear & Rotary Motion Actuators
Dramatically
Reduce Space Requirements
Tritex II
actuators are the highest power
density, smallest footprint servo drive devices
on the market. Finally, you can
incorporate a fully electronic solution in the space of your existing hydraulic
or pneumatic cylinder. Youcan also
eliminate troublesome ball screw actuators or bulky servo gear reducers. And
the space previouslyconsumed by
panel mount servo drives and motion controllers is no longer needed. Tritex II
actuators may also reduce
the size of your machine design while offering significant reliability
improvement.
Reduce
Costs
Because the
AC powered Tritex II unit houses the servo drive, digital positioner and
actuator all in oneconvenient
package, you eliminate the labor costs for mounting and wiring the panels.
Cable costs are alsosignificantly
reduced by eliminating the need for expensive, high-maintenance specialty servo
cables. All that isrequired is
an economical standard AC power cord, and standard communication cable for
digital andanalog I/O.
Also eliminated are the issues associated with power signals and feedback
signals traveling long distances
from servo drive to servo motor. With the Tritex II, the servo drive and motor
are always integratedin the same
housing.
No
Compromises on Power, Performance or Reliability
With forces
to approximately 4000 pounds (18 kN) continuous and 10,000 pounds peak (44 kN),
and speeds to 33 in/sec (800 mm/sec), the AC Tritex II linear actuators also
offer a benefit that no other integrated product offers - POWER! No longer are
you limited to trivial amounts of force, or speeds so slow that many motion
applications are not possible. And the Tritex II with AC power electronics
operates with maximum reliability over a broad range of ambient temperatures;
-40˚C to +65˚C. The AC powered
Tritex II actuators contain a 1.5 kW servo amplifier and a very capable motion
controller. With standard features such as analog following for position,
compound moves, move chaining and individual force/torque control for each
move, the Tritex II Series is the ideal solution for most motion applications.
