Integrated Motor Actuator Offers High Performance and Long Life

GSX Series integrated motor actuators integrate all the advantages of Exlar® roller screw and T-LAM stator technologies to create powerful and robust solutions with long life. The specially designed roller screw mechanism efficiently converts electric motor power into linear motion. Planetary rollers, assembled around the extending rod, follow threads that are precisely machined on the inside of the actuator’s hollow rotor.

Heavy Loads, High Speeds, Long Life

This innovative design of the GSX actuators produces smooth, accurate and programmable linear motion that is precisely synchronized with the armature rotation. Additionally the roller screw’s larger contact surface accommodates heavier loads at higher speeds, resulting in much longer life.

Other Advantages

  • Integrated brushless servo motor and linear rod-style actuator in a single compact unit
  • Designed for closed loop servo systems
  • Sealed housing for extended life and minimum maintenance
  • Configurable for use with almost every brand of servo drive
  • Rockwell Automation Encompass Product Partner

GSX Series Integrated Motor Actuator Options

Configuration Options

GSX Series Configuration Options A-F

AA = GSX Actuator Size (nominal)
BB = Stroke Length
CC = Screw Lead
D = Connections
E = Mounting
F = Rod End Thread / Rod Material

GGG = Feedback Type

Your choice of drive will dictate the appropriate feedback device for your situation. Options for feedback type include an array of absolute, analog and incremental encoders, as well as custom feedback alternatives.

HHH = Motor Stator

Motor options are described with a 3-digit code. The first digit calls out the stack length, the second digit designates the rated bus voltage, and the third digit identifies the number of poles. Please refer to the mechanical/electrical specifications for motor torque and actuator rated force.

GSX Stators (all 8 Pole and Class 180H)

1A8 = 1 stack, 24 VDC *
1B8 = 1 stack, 48 VDC *
1C8 = 1 stack, 120 VDC *
118 = 1 stack, 115 VRMS
138 = 1 stack, 230 VRMS
158 = 1 stack, 400 VRMS

368 = 3 stack, 460 VRMS 

 

* Low voltage stators may be limited to less than catalog rated torque and/or speed. Please contact your local sales representative when ordering this option.

II = Motor Speed

All Exlar T-LAM™ motors and actuators have a standard motor speed designator (described below). The designator represents the standard base speed of the motor for the selected bus voltage.

Designator  Base Speed   Actuator / Motor Series
-50  5000 rpm  GSX20
-30 3000 rpm GSX30, GSX40
-24 2400 rpm GSX50, GSX60
-01 … -99 specialized speed *

Note: It is not possible to produce every possible speed for each motor at each voltage. *

Mechanical Options

AR = External Anti-rotate Assembly

This assembly restricts the actuator output rod from rotating when the load is not held by another method. Shorter actuators have a single anti-rotation mechanism; longer lengths have a mechanism on both sides.

RB = Rear Electric Brake

This is a rear, internal holding brake. The rear brake is spring activated and electrically released.

PB = Protective Bellows

An accordion-style bellows that safeguards the main actuator rod from damage due to abrasives or other contaminants in the operating environment. The bellows is made of S2 Neoprene coated nylon with sewn construction. Rated for -40 to 250 degrees F (-40 to 121 C). Not available with the extended tie rod mounting option. *

SR = Splined Main Rod

A ball spline shafting main rod with a ball spline nut that replaces the standard front seal and bushing assembly. This rod restricts rotation without the need for an external mechanism. The rod diameter will be the closest metric equivalent to our standard rod sizes. Since this option is NOT sealed, it is not suitable for environments in which contaminants may enter the actuator.

Note: Adding this option affects the overall length and mounting dimensions. Due to the reduced diameter of the splined main rod on GSX50 actuators, the standard A, F and B rod ends are not available. In this case, an “X” should be used in the rod end location. If not otherwise specified, an M24x2 male rod end will be used.

L1, L2, L3 = Adjustable External Travel Switch(es)

External travel switches indicate travel to the controller and are adjustable for either the home or end position.*

Mechanical Options

NI = Non-incendive Construction (required for Class I Div 2)

Construction of equipment that, under normal operating conditions, is not capable, due to arcing or thermal effects, of igniting the flammable gas-, vapor-, or dust-air mixture.

AR = External Anti-rotate Assembly

This assembly restricts the actuator output rod from rotating when the load is not held by another method. Shorter actuators have a single anti-rotation mechanism; longer lengths have a mechanism on both sides.

RB = Rear Electric Brake

This is a rear, internal holding brake. The rear brake is spring activated and electrically released.

PB = Protective Bellows

Special Motor-Related Options

XM = Special Motor Option

Special Motor Options should be listed as XM and must be approved by Exlar.*

XL = Special (Non-Standard) Lubrication

The XL option in the model number specifies some form of lubrication other than the standard provided by Exlar®, which is Mobilith SHC220. Special lubricants include other greases, such as JAX FG-2 food grade or Mobilgrease 28. Another non-standard option is oil cooling.*

Special Rod End Attachments

GSX Class I Division 2 Special Rod End Attachments

Please note that specialized rod end attachments must be ordered separately from the actuator.

CP = Clevis Pin
RC = Rear Clevis Pin
RE = Rod Eye
SRM = Spherical Rod Eye
