Valve and controller system
The Enfinity System combines an M2 pneumatic-control valve and a C2 controller, both available with an integrated driver.
Features & benefits
-
M2 instrument-grade, proportional, directional-control pneumatic valve uses a specialized linear-force motor instead of a proportional solenoid
-
M2 aperture is controlled at high speed, so response is quick to setpoint command changes
-
C2 enclosed high-speed, high-accuracy analog controller with multiple PID and feed-forward options; user-friendly digital LCD/membrane keypad user interface; independent scaling of command and feedback signals

Electric servoactuation system
Electric servoactuation provides linear motion and offers a convenient alternative to hydraulic actuation.
Features & benefits
-
Design of ballscrew extends life by twice that of traditional designs; draws less power than hydraulic alternatives without sacrificing precision or speed; applications include damper control, security barriers, pick-and-place robotics, and metal forming presses
-
Standard electric servoactuator features small footprints, maximum force of 70 kN, rod speeds to 640 mm/sec; absolute encoder transmits position and feedback data
-
Version for higher forces, longer strokes can be tailored to needs; force to 115.59 kN, rod speeds to 1,600 mm/sec
-
Servoactuation packages include servoactuator, servodrive, and commissioning software; automatically uploads preset system tuning parameters from absolute encoder when starting, to save time
