Tritex II AC Power Solution

The AC powered Tritex II actuators integrate a 1.5 kW servo amplifier and position 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.

Linear Applications

Tritex II linear actuators employ Exlar's patented, inverted roller screw mechanism for converting rotary motion to highly robust and long-life linear motion. These characteristics enable the Tritex actuator to solve applications that previously required pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders. No additional mechanisms (such as acme or ball screws) are necessary to convert the actuator's rotary power into linear motion in order to move the load. In addition, the Tritex II software allows you to create a sequence which causes the actuator, when commanded, to move forward while pressing an object into position. You can establish a preprogrammed force which triggers an event (such as stopping or retracting to another position) or it can maintain that force level until commanded otherwise. The sequence is ideal for assembly, test, fastening and pressing applications.

The Tritex II linear actuator can be programmed to follow an analog command signal, making it ideal for controlling valves and dampers in process control applications.

Rotary Applications

Tritex II rotary motors and gearmotors provide high response and precise control of a rotatable shaft similar to that found in any electric motor. The difference is that with Tritex II you can program (via your PC) the rotational speed and position of the output shaft in response to external commands. For example, the motor can be commanded to rotate at a controlled velocity and precisely stop at a preprogrammed position. You can also program the unit to run at a preset velocity until a switch input is received or a preprogrammed torque level is produced against a load. Alternatively, the rotary Tritex II actuators can be set up to follow an analog signal, either voltage or current, representing your choice of torque, velocity, or position.

Signals for initiating the preprogrammed velocity and position commands come from optically isolated inputs or directly via the Modbus serial communication channel provided on each Tritex II unit. Likewise, isolated output commands of the status and events allow precise coordination with your system controls or machine operator.

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 TCP, Ethernet/IP, ProfiNet (future networks include CANopen and Hart) allow the Tritex II to become an integral part of your control architecture or machine control processes.

Optional Internal Gear Reducer

If the application requires greater torque and less speed than available with the base unit, the Tritex II is available with an integral servo grade planetary gear reducer. Gear ratios of 4:1 to 100:1 allow the power of Tritex II to be applied over a broad range of torque requirements.

Agency Approvals

Exlar's Tritex II actuator are available for applications requiring CSA Class 1 Division 2 certification. Ordering a standard I/O interconnect with or without 4-20mA Analog I/O, and the N option for the NPT port will provide you with Class 1 Division 2 rated product.

Tritex II Series Operation

The Tritex II Series actuators can operate in one of five different motion-producing modes. These modes solve an endless variety of applications in industrial automation, medical equipment, fastening and joining, blow molding, injection molding, testing, food processing, and more.

Programmed functions are stored in the Tritex II non-volatile memory. An RS/485 serial interface allows control, programming and monitoring of all aspects of the motor or actuator as it performs your application.
