Exlar's Servo Actuators Provide Smooth and Accurate Rotary and Linear Motion Control for Medical Applications

    MINNETONKA, MN, July 13, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Electric actuators provide clean, easy-to-use rotary and linear motion for all types of motion control applications in the medical device industry. Electric actuation utilizing servo controls also provides a low maintenance, environmentally friendly and high efficiency solution.

Exlar's all electric actuators are ideal replacements for hydraulic and pneumatic actuators. Exlar's patented GS Series actuators offer power density similar to hydraulic actuators without the inconvenience, mess and maintenance required of oil powered hydraulic systems. Providing twice the efficiency of hydraulic systems, an Exlar solution can save significant energy costs. Using commercially available servo amplifiers, the set-up time of an Exlar electric system is far less than a fluid power system.

Providing solutions for high response web controls, Exlar actuators provide high force, speed and precision, all from a very compact, completely sealed package. Fastening and joining applications can be made more precise with increased throughput using Exlar's all electric actuators. Their high cycle rate capability and high shock load capacity make Exlar's actuators a reliable motion solution.

Additionally, controlling ultrasonic welding equipment, laser cutters or water jet cutting heads are all ideal applications for the precise high force motion available from Exlar actuators. High force and precision from Exlar's actuators makes them optimal for assembly presses. The GS Series actuators provide precision position control at high forces and high stiffness, which are used in applications requiring force sensing as well as positioning.

With ten years of experience as the leading supplier of volumetric filling, fluid dispensing and pumping actuators, Exlar provides quality solutions for fluid dispensing systems. Other applications include: fluid dispensing, volumetric filling, web guiding and control, ultrasonic welder positioning, water jet control, laser positioning, presses, fastening and joining, table positioning, patient lifts and wheel drives.
