Tritex II™ AC Powered Linear and Rotary Actuators With Embedded Electronics

2009 Golden Mousetrap Best Product Award Winner for Tritex II Tritex II Actuators

Industry's Most Compact All-In-One Linear & Rotary Motion Actuators

The new Tritex II actuators integrate an AC powered servo drive, digital position controller, brushless motor and linear or rotary actuator in one elegant, compact, sealed package. Now you can distribute motion control and solve your application with one integrated device. Simply connect AC power, I/O, communications and go!

No Compromises on Power, Performance or Reliability

With forces to approximately 4000 pounds (18 kN) continuous and 10,000 pounds peak (44 kN), and speeds to 33 in/sec (800 mm/sec), the AC Tritex II linear actuators also offer a benefit that no other integrated product offers - POWER! No longer are you limited to trivial amounts of force, or speeds so slow that many motion applications are not possible. And the new Tritex II with AC power electronics operates with maximum reliability over a broad range of ambient temperatures; -40°C to +65°C.

The AC powered Tritex II actuators contain a 1.5 kW servo amplifier and a very capable motion controller. With standard features such as analog following for position, compound moves, move chaining and individual force/torque control for each move, the Tritex II Series is the ideal solution for most motion applications.

Reduce Costs

Because the new AC powered Tritex II houses the servo drive, digital positioner, and actuator all in one convenient package, you eliminate the labor costs for mounting and wiring the panels. Cable costs are also significantly reduced by eliminating the need for expensive, high-maintenance specialty servo cables. All that is required is an economical standard AC power cord, and standard communication cable for digital and analog I/O.

Also eliminated are the issues associated with power signals and feedback signals traveling long distances from servo drive to servo motor. With the Tritex II, the servo drive and motor are always integrated in the same housing.

Flexible Communications

Multiple feedback types, including absolute feedback, allow you to select the system that is best-suited for your application. Digital and analog I/O plus popular communication networks such as Modbus, Ethernet IP, HART, Modbus TCPIP, CAN Open and CAN J1939 allow the Tritex II to become an integral part of your control architecture or machine control processes.

Our Tritex II System uses smaller, shallower panels with no servo drives and employs more economical power & I/O cables than alternative systems.
