Component Focus: Internal Desiccant
All of the dynamic shaft seal design efforts taken by Ultra Motion will minimize the amount of liquid ingress into the actuator enclosure, but 100% moisture exclusion is not feasible. For this reason, the A2 and AM Servo Cylinders include a custom injection molded desiccant block in close proximity to the control electronics and BLDC stator to adsorb moisture […]
Ultra Motion Actuators Go Offshore On Subsea Cable Installation Carriage
Great to see our U1 Series subsea linear actuator being used in North Sea Systems’ CableFish. The system provides subsea cable installers with continuous video and mapping of the product as it contacts the seabed. Our actuator enables the survey carriage to be attached and removed from the cable without any manual intervention – thereby […]
