some pdf with technical data of the only actuator i found so far from companies from my countr
would some of them work for a frex like platform?
does someone knows some standard data i should have in mind when looking for actuators for this kind of work?
or is there somewhere to buy them online and get them shipped worldwide? (argentina) i saw some on ebay but i asked the buyers and they couldnt tell me too much data of the actuators.
thnkx in advance

i found this, the gsx series looks pretty good for a sim platform, the gsm isnt bad neither, and they have this tritex series that...:

tritex series are like 300usd more expensive than the others, the gsx/m series comes with AC servo motors and they told me i will need an external servo drive for operation, what this servo drive means? can i just connect the motors to the pc+interface?

i need to know the max load and max stroke lenght for a frex like platform so they can tell me which model will works best and how much it will cost, would some expert help me in this? i think frex platform actuators doesnt move more than 300mm, but not sure, and no idea about the load capacity needed, would be something like +1/3 of a person weight?

Hi,

forget the ones you posted in your first post. They are not fast enough.

But the Exlar ones are really interesting. They are fast as hell and provide plenty of force.

I have to look some more into this site later. But seems very promising indeed. Depending on their price as well. I guess 300USD is for their very smallest model.

Btw, the tritex ones look very suitable for a frex style sim, though they are not cheaper than the SCN5, which the Frex uses.
But unlike the SCN5 from Dyadic, Exlar has some models with plenty of force.

The tritex ones with 10mm pitch look very suitable.

That means that you need Tronicgr' DIY AMC controller for example.

Though I'd rather prefer them without internal controller.

Probably I havent understood you right. By second time reading it seems to me that you've wrote that the Tritex do cost 300Euro on top of the price of the GSX-m ones. And that sounds reasonable, as they come with built in controller.
And as they are brushless DC motors, Thanos' current interface cannot interface the gsx-m ones.

So I fear that they are far too pricey for me. But in general the Tritex should work in combination with Thanos controller via servo signal output...

Noob question probably, but in the speed-force curves on the Exlar webpage, what do they mean when they state the different lead sizes?
And this might be obvious when I know what the lead size refers to, but how does that effect the speed/force?

TIA

In this particular case lead means pitch.

for example 02 lead means, that the the ballscrew- or leadscrew-nut moves 02 per 1 spindle revolution.

Thats all, I think the corelation between lead and force/speed should be clear now ;D

All clear, thanks!

hi, anyone know the price for exlar tritex II AC linear actuator?
am designing a 1-3ton press project
