Introducing Ultra Motion’s U-Series: Advanced Linear Actuators for Extreme Environments
Ultra Motion presents the U-Series, a line of pressure-compensated, oil-filled linear actuators engineered for exceptional reliability in both surface and underwater applications, including unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). These actuators are designed to endure depths exceeding 6000 meters,making them ideal for challenging environments.
Customizable Features for Diverse Applications
The U-Series offers a broad spectrum of configurations tailored to meet specific operational needs. Options include stepper motors or brushless DC motors,in-line planetary gearheads,self-locking Acme leadscrews,and high-efficiency ballscrews. stroke lengths are available from 1 inch to 16 inches,providing adaptability for various applications.
Precision and Control
Each actuator in the U-Series is equipped with an internal linear potentiometer, ensuring accurate absolute position feedback. Note that these actuators require external motor control electronics. For those seeking subsea linear actuators with integrated control systems, Ultra Motion’s AU Servo Cylinder series is an excellent alternative.
Robust Connectivity Options
standard features of the U-Series include SubConn Wet-Mate connectors, which facilitate reliable underwater connections. Custom cable lengths and output formats can be provided upon request, ensuring compatibility with various systems.
