Electric actuator Exlar ® GTF

linearinverted roller screwaluminum

Overview
The GTF Integrated Motor Actuator extends Exlar’s high-force GTX linear actuators into hygienic applications such as food & beverage processing, packaging, and pharmaceutical automation. The GTF mirrors the performance of Curtiss-Wright Exlar GTX actuators while incorporating hygienic features to help machines achieve certifications (USDA, 3-A, BISSC, EHEDG, NSF). The actuator is fully sealed and smooth to reduce harborage and keep out contaminants during light washdown cleaning.

Innovation

• New hygienic seal system dramatically reduces moisture ingress and harborage around actuator shaft and mounting surfaces.

Benefits

• Hygienic design with FDA approved white epoxy paint reduces cleaning time and supports machine certification.
• Stainless-steel main rod provides corrosion resistance for food-contact zones.
• Multiple face mount and clevis mount versions to meet hygienic design guidelines across mounting configurations.
• Food-grade grease and seal materials to eliminate contamination of food products.

Features

• Designed to meet USDA, 3-A, BISSC, NSF, and EHEDG guidelines.
• Long, robust actuator life due to Exlar inverted roller screw technology.
• Single or two-cable connection options for motor power and feedback.
• Standard IP67 environmental rating with optional IP69K.
