Servomotion control in an integrated package
Exlar Corp. (Chanhassen, MN) has unveiled Tritex II Series electric actuators, offering 1500W, AC-powered operation and digital position control within a single space-saving housing. These actuators combine a brushless servomotor with either rotary or linear (output) actuation, assembling all elements into a compact, sealed housing for demanding environments.

Exlar Corp. (Chanhassen, MN) has unveiled Tritex II Series electric actuators, offering 1500W, AC-powered operation and digital position control within a single space-saving housing. These actuators combine a brushless servomotor with either rotary or linear (output) actuation, assembling all elements into a compact, sealed housing for demanding environments. With their built-in mechanical converters, Tritex II actuators eliminate the need for traditional ballscrew or gear-reducer mechanisms—they incorporate all the required position control and power electronics into the actuator itself, providing a complete system solution. This design additionally eliminates the inconvenience and expense of an external servo amplifier and cables, which are often required with more conventional servo systems.Enhanced software features include 16 programmable indexes, linked moves, and firmware flash upgrade capability via the actuator’s Modbus port. This port, using an RS/485 protocol, allows complete control, programming, and monitoring of all aspects of the Tritex II actuator as it performs an application. Planned communications options include Modbus, Ethernet/IP, HART, Modbus TCP/IP, CANopen, and CAN J1939 protocols. Tritex II linear actuators provide the same form factor as hydraulic and pneumatic actuators and provide for simple, clean, all-electric retrofits in what were formerly fluid power applications. They are available with many different mounting options such as front flange, rear clevis mount, side mount, trunion mount, extended tie rod, and rear flange. —[email protected]
