Customizable universal electric actuator allows active or passive actuation

Aventics’ new universal electric actuator for industrial applications features a highly flexible design for customization to the customer’s application.

The new Aventics best in class universal electric actuator is heavy-duty and suitable for normal or extreme environments. The highly flexible design allows the actuator to be customizable to the customer’s application. A wide range of best in class features include: highest output torque and accuracy, operating temperature, integrated gear box, and unlimited radial and linear positional control. The actuator can be used in many factory automation applications and in food, beverage, processing and packaging, etc.

The universal electric actuator features a flexible customer interface for integrated or remote applications and allows for both active or passive actuation. Communications protocol include CAN, PWM, analog, etc. The actuator has buffered battery voltage monitoring with under voltage lockout, and is 12V or 24V ready. On board diagnostics and feedback are provided, and it is field programmable/addressable. The actuator features various mounting configurations including NEMA 23 or 34 attachment/compliance, and meets IP50, IP67 and IP69. Motor technology can be BLDC or PMDC.
