The Industrial Controller and CAN Controller are two new control board options now offered alongside the Classic controller integrated in all Servo Cylinder models.

The Industrial Control Board offers a 4-20 mA input and an isolated 4-20 mA output for simple and robust communication with new and existing PLC systems. The industrial control board can also be provided a ±10VDC command signal, and has an RS-422 full duplex serial connection for more reliable communication in harsh environments compared to the classic controller.

The CAN Control Board is compliant to CiA DS301 and DS402 with support for cyclic synchronous position and profile position modes, allowing for sophisticated and synchronized control of up to 127 Servo Cylinders per CAN bus. The CANopen controller has a half-duplex RS-485 serial connection for diagnostics, configuration, and field updating of the firmware.

Designed for the demanding shock and vibration environments of the new-space industry, the R-Series actuators from Ultra Motion leverage years of heritage in high reliability actuator design for spaceflight applications. Using Ultra Motion’s flight proven, patented Phase Index absolute position sensor, the R-Series provides high resolution absolute position feedback in the most extreme environments and with uncontested mass, economy, and power density. The R-Series actuators are the perfect solution for high reliability new-space and aerospace applications such as thrust vector control, throttle control, and fin control.

• Dual Redundant Absolute Position Feedback
• Forces up to 1200 lbf peak
• Speeds up to 2.5 in/s
• Stroke up to 3.5 inches
• Mass < 3.0 lbm

The R-Series is a modular platform allowing for application specific requirements to easily be met, such as Mighty Mouse connectors, specific mounting arrangements, variations in force/speed, etc. Contact Ultra Motion engineering for more details.

Over 20 years of linear motion experience has culminated in the development of a design and assembly process that produces a high performing linear actuator rated for forces up to 500 lbf and operation within vacuums to 10^-6 Torr. Our vacuum actuators make use of special lubricants, plastics, and motors, as well as design features to eliminate virtual leaks. Ultra Motion is a trusted source of high quality vacuum linear actuators for Brookhaven National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and more.

The Ultra Motion Power Supply Unit is an unregulated AC to DC supply designed specifically for DC motion control applications, including ServoCylinder, and is perfectly suited to most 36V DC motor applications. A Power Supply Unit (PSU) used in DC motion control applications must be sufficiently robust to provide the large bursts of current typical of motor acceleration, while also being capable of tolerating large voltage spikes generated by the motor during deceleration.
