New integrated motor/actuator features high power density

October 8, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

The newest integrated motor/actuator from Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial Division, the Exlar GTX100, is the second frame size in the integrated motor/actuator series. Incorporating Curtiss-Wright’s patented inverted roller screw technology, the GTX100’s high power density and compact form factor make it a suitable replacement for hydraulic cylinders.

The GTX Series actuators offer the power, precision, and programmability of a servo system while minimizing the maintenance difficulties and mess of hydraulics. 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 in.) to 300 mm (11.8 in.), the GTX100 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
  • IP65S (min.) environmental protection
  • Seamless integration into most leading motion control architectures
  • Removable front seal bushing greatly simplifies maintenance and re-greasing of nut assembly to maximize actuator life
  • Modular design with bolt-on mounting hardware allows effortless mounting reconfiguration or replacement in the field using commonly available tools
  • Smoother, quieter operation compared to previous generation designs

Exlar is a business unit of Curtiss-Wright’s Industrial Division. For more information visit www.exlar.com or www.curtisswright.com.
