When Precision Counts - Exlar Actuators are a Perfect Fit for the Defense Industry

from the Automation Group at Cross

Exlar is synonoumous with Efficiency, Effectiveness & Survivability.....all perfect descriptions of demands for defense industry applications.  The Automation Group at Cross is pleased to offer Exlar solutions for these mission-critical tasks utilizing advanced electromechanical actuation technology.

It's got to work on time, every time, whether it's used for loading munitions or fuel flow....that's what Exlar is all about.  Plus, withstanding shock, vibration & high temps, Exlar delivers extended operational life.  Exlar's electromechanical actuators have a simplified design and are energy efficient - all factors in improving survivability while reducing maintenance costs and frequency.  And they meld seamlessly into vehicles used in stealth applications, where actuators must run as quietly as the hybrid engines commonly employed in these vehicles.

Exlar has had success with:
  • aircraft launch and recovery equipment (ALRE)
  • weapons elevator
  • turbine control
  • vehicle launch system
  • bulkhead door operation
  • ammunition handling
  • site positioning/control
  • gun position & firing
  • mine detection
  • turret control
  • automated door assist
  • steering
  • gun charging
  • towed sonar array
  • rudder control

Products

GS Series Linear Actuator
Exlar's GS Series combines the advantages of their patented roller screw technology and T-LAM motor technology, yielding the highest performance, longest life and most compact linear actuator on the market.  They provide a viable and long-lasting alternative to hydraulic actuation.


FT and K Series Actuator
Utilizing an external motor and roller screw technology, the FT and K Series linear actuators provide force ratings in excess of 40,000 lbs, stroke lengths up to 8' and speed up to 60" per second.


SLM Series Brushless Motor & SLG Series Brushless Servo Gearmotor
Designed with Exlar's T-LAM technology, SLM brushless servomotors and SLG gearmotors deliver high efficiency and power in a compact package.  The SL Series design yeilds 35-70% more torque than traditionally wound motor of the same size.

Design Benefits
  • Long Service Life - roller screw actuators have up to 15 times the life of a similarly sized ball screw actuator
  • Compact - the industry's highest possible forces in the smallest possible packages include designs with integrated brushless servomotors and feedback devices
  • Robust Design - built for continuous duty in harsh environments.  Exlar designs are inherently resistant to shock and vibration and are sealed against environmental contaminants
  • Design Flexibility - with open feedback configurations and configurable options for paint, coatings and connectors, Exlar actuators are ready for simple integration into vehicle designs
  • US Designed and US Built - Exlar is an ISO 9001 certified US small business with engineering, design, operations and manufacturing in the United States
