Exlar electric linear actuators - longer life, higher loads, more speed. The patented roller screw technology offers peak forces in excess of 40,000 lbf, speeds to 60 in/sec and stroke lengths to 96 inches, all with the reliability of servo control.

Exlar is extending the capabilities of its high torque, long life Exlar GSX and I Series of electro-mechanical linear actuators with the introduction of an integral force measuring option. Force measuring is achieved by means of a load cell embedded within the actuator. This option offers a direct method for obtaining electronic data relating to the force being applied by the actuator. The strain gauge load sensor is mounted inside the actuator's case in a compact and protected robust design.

The integrated load cell option is available on Exlar's GSX30, 40, 50 and 60 models, and the I Series 30 and 40 model actuators. The load cell is a strain gauge type, offering stable and accurate load sensing (+/- 1% linearity, +/- 0.5% repeatability and hysteresis) in compression and optionally tension, and for static or dynamic loads.
