The A-Series Servo Cylinder is a rod-style, brushless DC electromechanical actuator with built-in controller and Phase Index® absolute position sensor. Providing up to 530 lbf peak force and up to 7.75” of travel, the Servo Cylinder was designed from the ground up to be extremely robust and very simple to use. After a simple USB configuration, power and signal are the only connections required to operate the Servo Cylinder.
Ultra Motion’s Phase Index® is seamlessly integrated into the Servo Cylinder, which provides absolute, digital position feedback of the actuator throughout the entire stroke and is also used in Field-Oriented Control of the motor. Besides Phase Index®, no sensors are required to provide absolute position feedback of the actuator shaft and the BLDC rotor, which improves reliability.

No homing required
No limit switches
No potentiometer wear
No sensor noise
No battery required to maintain absolute position

The Servo Cylinder comes in two motor stack sizes (100W and 180W) and can be configured with a high efficiency ball screw or a self-locking acme leadscrew.

Integrated Linear Actuators

I1 Integrated Linear Actuator with Applied Motion Motor

Options shown include Applied Motion NEMA 17 integrated stepper motor and 2 position switches.

I1 Integrated Linear Actuator with MDrive Motor

Options shown include block tube mount and threaded stud rod end mount.

I1:

Integrated Steppers

Using internal encoders, integrated stepper motor actuators achieve enhanced performance, higher efficiencies and prevent loss of synchronization (stall).
The I1 series of actuators are programmable and can be configured to operate with CANopen, Ethernet, Profinet, and step and direction systems.
We offer Lexium MDrive and Applied Motion NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 frame size integrated stepper motors with our actuators.

Integrated BLDC

We offer ClearPath motors on our actuators for a high power density, simple to use actuator ideal for digital systems and BLDC replacements to existing Stepper Motor systems. These actuators have built-in limit switch and hardstop homing routines.
We also offer NEMA 17 and NEMA 23 Smart Motors, which offer full programmability, analog signal compatibility, and industrial network protocols such as CANopen and Ethernet. These actuators can be programmed for limit switch homing, hard-stop homing, or for motionless homing using Ultra Motion’s internal potentiometer.
