APPLICATION The intelligent, rotatory actuators for 360° angle can be used in a wide range of applications in harsh environments and it succeeds in providing precise and reliable positioning. The CIPOS® technology used in the Smart URA is characterised in particular by its insensitivity to magnetic fields and also by its high temperature stability. Angles are measured inductively using a non-contact and consequently wear-free method, thus guaranteeing high measurement accuracy throughout the entire lifetime. An error memory records errors and the actuator is able to react differently and appropriately to all manner of errors. DESIGN AND FUNCTION The intelligent, rotatory actuators for 360° angle monitors the position of the output gear and the integrated electronics continuously calculate the position with the help of an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). The actuator boasts the "True power on" function for angles under 180°, i.e. it enables direct startup without calibration. When in operation, the actuator carries out controlled movement to the programmable soft stops. The self-blocking transmission minimises current consumption (< 25 mA), which is required in order to maintain a defined position.
