GSX Series High Thrust Actuators

• High quality screw for longer life
• Ideal hydraulic replacement
• Powerful and robust
• Compact size

For applications that require long life and continuous duty, even in harsh environments, the GSX Series High Thrust Actuators offers a robust solution. The life of these actuators can exceed that of a ball screw actuator by 15 times, all while delivering high speeds and high forces.

Sealed for Long Life with Minimum Maintenance

GSX Series actuators have strong advantages wherever outside contaminants are an issue. In most rotary-to-linear devices, critical mechanisms are exposed to the environment. Thus, these actuators must be frequently inspected, cleaned and lubricated.

In contrast, the converting components in all Exlar GSX units are mounted within sealed motor housing. With a simple bushing and seal on the smooth extending rod, abrasive particles or other contaminants are prevented from reaching the actuator’s critical mechanisms. This assures trouble-free operation even in the most harsh environments

• 2, 3, 5, 5.5, and 7 inch frame sizes
• 3 to 18 inch stroke lengths
• Absolute encoder options
• Multiple mounting and rod-end options available
• Configurable motor winding to fit your application
• Speeds up to 37.5 in/sec
• Continuous thrust up to 11,528 lbf

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 GSX Series High Thrust 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
