Three Technologies --
One Actuator
Exlar's
TritexTM Series actuators combine three technologies to deliver for
the first time a truly simple and low cost electric alternative for fluid power
actuators. Tritex actuators with built-in mechanical converters also replace
electric drive systems employing ball screw or gear reducer mechanisms for a
complete actuation solution.
Tritex actuators represent an all-electric actuator solution for moving and/or
positioning mechanical devices in a large variety of industrial or military
grade applications. Tritex actuators eliminate the need for pneumatic and
hydraulic cylinders while improving position performance, reducing cycle times
and eliminating the maintenance associated with fluid power devices. Ball screw
mechanisms, and separately mounted gear reducers are also a thing of the past
because rotary to linear converters or mechanical reducers are designed in.
Less is
More
The
Tritex Series of electric actuators combine a brushless servo motor, servo
amplifier and position controller in a single industrial grade enclosure. This
eliminates both the external servo amplifier and the expensive and failure prone
cables associated with a typical servo system. Component selection, design and
installation are completely eliminated. Trouble-shooting and debugging of
individual components; gear reducers, rotary-to-linear converter mechanisms and
the complex wiring layout typical of such a system are gone. The panel space
for a separately mounted amplifier and installation of that amplifier are no
longer necessary.
Linear
Applications
Tritex
linear actuators employ Exlar's patented, inverted roller screw mechanism for converting the rotational motion generated within the Tritex
actuator to the highly robust and long-life linear motion required to solve
applciations that previously required pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. No
additional mechanisms (such as ball screws) are required to convert the
actuator's rotary power to linear motion.
The Tritex linear actuator contains the same control capability of the Tritex
rotary acctuator. In addition, the Tritex software allows you to create a
sequence which causes the actuator, when commanded, to move forward while
pressing an object into position. You can establish a pre-programmed force
which triggers an event (such as stopping or retracting to another position) or
it can maintain that force level until commanded otherwise. The sequence is
ideal for assembly, test, and pressing applications.
As with the rotary Tritex, the linear Tritex can be programmed to follow an
analog command signal, making it ideal for controlling valves and dampers in
process control applications.
