New integrated motor/actuator features high power density
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 […]
Exlar GTX now with Hiperface DSL Stegmann absolute encoders
Curtiss-Wright Corporation’s Industrial Division announced that its Exlar facility, located in Chanhassen, MN, has added Hiperface DSL Stegmann absolute encoders as a part of their available Rockwell Automation feedback options. The GTX series joined the Exlar TTX, Tritex II, GSX, FTX, and K series Encompass product families in 2018. As an Encompass Partner, Curtiss-Wright and Rockwell […]
Linear actuators: smarter, more powerful
Electromechanical actuators continue to evolve with more integration as well as more power, challenging some fluid power mainstays. Putting together a linear motion system has never been easier, considering the options available to designers along with powerful new tools with which to design such systems. The availability of more integrated components and so-called smart actuators […]
Next-gen electric actuators for high forces
Curtiss-Wright Sensors & Controls Division has announced the release of its next-generation Exlar® brand FTX Series actuators. These high-force electric rod style actuators now offer higher performance and ease of maintenance than previously available. The FTX Series actuators leverage more than a decade of experience successfully replacing hydraulics in high-force, high-duty cycle applications in harsh […]
New 2016 Exlar industrial electric linear actuator catalog
We are excited to announce the release of our 2016-2017 edition of the Exlar electric linear actuator product catalog. The new catalog has been completely redesigned for improved usability and consistency, as well as overall look. Major enhancements include: Inclusion of the Tritex II product family Simplified layout of mechanical specifications tables Consolidated dimension drawings […]
Force tube parallel motor mount assembly
The Exlar FT Series actuators combined with a parallel motor mounting configuration use a polymer reinforced belt drive system. The drive train does not require any lubrication and any oil or dirt contamination within the belt drive system will decrease belt effectiveness and life. The belt and pulley system should be inspected periodically for excessive […]
ATEX rated explosion-proof linear actuators
Curtiss-Wright Corporation has expanded its Exlar® linear actuator line to include the EL120 explosion-proof linear actuators. The EL120 linear actuators meet ATEX requirements for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and are in conformity with the EU ATEX Directive 94/9/EC, as well as the IECEx scheme. Additionally, they are rated for Class I, Div 1, Groups B, […]
