January 9, 2013 - Olsen Engineering introduces Exlar Tritex II DC TDM/X integrated actuator. Available in AC rotary and linear versions, the Tritex II can operate from 12V, 24V, 48V and 60V DC supplies in five different motion modes. It features an integrated energy efficient PM motor, high resolution position controller and amplifier as standard. The Exlar Tritex II’s built in non-volatile memory stores programmed functions for motion requirements for linear and rotary motion control applications, product configurations and motion parameters.
The specifically designed free of charge “Expert” software allows very fast commissioning of actuator applications, configuring position or force control using a 0-10V or 4-20mA control signal or digital inputs or now even with the EtherNet IP fieldbus options amongst others. An Onboard RS/485 interface as standard provides control, programming and monitoring of all aspects of the motor or actuator. Exlar Tritex II actuators have Class I Division 2 explosion proof rating for hazardous areas. Ingress protection to IP54 or IP65 is available – in fact Tritex II even passes IP67 tests. Furthermore, subsea variations which can operate to 10,000 feet below sea level are also available.
Another option consists of two types of front-protective bellows: standard and high temperature Teflon-coated fibreglass rated to 260 degrees Celsius. Different coating options include stainless steel housing and main rod, Type III hard coat and food grade white epoxy. There is also the alternative of low temperature grease allowing operation from -40 o C. In fact, even all aspects of the mounting and main rod dimensions can be customised specifically to suit the application needs.
