Swashplate Linear Actuator Control With Servo Cylinders

In the photo below are Ultra Motion’s A2 Servo Cylinders being shown off in a swashplate control application for a twin-rotor UAV helicopter. The A2 Servo Cylinder’s high dynamic performance, reliable operation in harsh conditions, and Phase Index absolute position feedback makes it the perfect solution for unmanned vehicle control applications. A variety of control interfaces including CAN 2.0B, RS-422 serial and RC-PWM greatly simplifies interfacing the Servo Cylinder with COTS autopilots or custom avionics.
