Actuators with extreme power density, reliability for aerospace applications

September 5, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

The R-Series actuators from Ultra Motion leverage years of heritage in high reliability actuator design for aerospace/spaceflight applications. Using Ultra Motion’s flight proven, patented Phase Index absolute position sensor, the R-Series provides high-resolution absolute position feedback in the most extreme environments and with uncontested mass, economy, and power density.

R-Series actuators are well suited for new space and aerospace applications such as thrust vector control, throttle control, and control surface manipulation, or applications that demand the highest power density and reliability available. Forces range up to 1,200 lbf peak with no load speeds greater than 3.0 in/sec. Stroke lengths up to 3.5 in. are available with mass in the range of 3.0 lbm.
