Curtiss-Wright Sensors & Controls Division (Gilbert, AZ) announced Exlar® brand FTX Series actuators. The high-force electric rod style actuators replace hydraulics in highforce, high-duty-cycle applications in harsh environments. Based on planetary roller screw technology, the actuators offer a compact form factor. With continuous force rating to 178 kN (40,000 lbf), speed to 875 mm/sec (34 in/sec), and stroke lengths from 150 mm (6 inches) to 900 mm (3 feet), the actuators can be applied across a range of linear motion applications.
