Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial Division has recently announced its newest integrated motor/actuator, the Exlar® GTX100. This new addition is the second frame size in the integrated motor/actuator series.
The GTX Series actuators offer the precision, power and programmability of a servo system while minimizing the maintenance difficulties. With continuous force ratings up to 15,392 N (3,460 lbf), speeds up to 953 mm/sec (37.5 in/sec), and standard stroke lengths from 150 mm (5.9 inches) to 300 mm (11.8 inches), the actuator can be applied across a wide range of factory automation applications.
The GTX Series features include:
– high capacity planetary roller screws offering up to 15X the life and significantly higher shock load resistance than a comparably sized ball screw
– Removable front seal bushing simplifies maintenance and re-greasing of nut assembly to maximize actuator life
– IP65S (min.) environmental protection
– Modular design with bolt-on mounting hardware allows effortless mounting reconfiguration or replacement in the field using commonly available tools
