FTX Series High Force Electric Actuators

Hydraulic cylinders provide long life and high force in a small package size. The FTX Series high force electric actuators were designed specifically to allow migration from traditional hydraulic actuation to electric. Based on planetary roller screw technology, the FTX offers life and force density not attainable with more common ball screw based electric actuators. With up to 15X the life and 2X the force density, the roller screw based FTX is the right choice when migrating from hydraulic to electric actuation.

• 95, 125, 160, 215 mm frame sizes
• Up to 900mm stroke lengths
• Up to 1.5 meters/sec travel
• Up to 178 kN (40,000 lbf) thrust forces
• IP65S protection

When starting a new actuator project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine the optimum size actuator for the job. They perform all necessary engineering calculations to make sure the cylinder performs as required, within customer specification, and without unnecessary cost. They will also recommend the appropriate motors, controllers, and drives that will best fit the application selected actuator.

This includes:

• Actuator thrust, travel, and motion profile calculations
• Life calculations
• Ensuring compatibility with the motor
• Specifying the appropriate options such as environmental ratings and limit switches
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc…
• Ensuring all necessary accessories are also specified

When ordering FTX Series High Force Electric Actuators as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and accessories necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
