There are some common specifications among each of ETREMA's Terfenol-D based Sonic Actuators. One such characteristic is the standard operating frequency range, which is 0-1250 Hz. A high frequency version, which covers the range 0-2500 Hz is available for models 050, 100, and 150. The remaining common specifications are:

Feature Specification
Dynamic Force, lb (N) 250 (1110)
Blocked Force, lb (N) 500 (2220)
Operating Temperature Range, °F (°C) -4 to 212 (-20 to 100)
Max. Continuous AC Current, Arms 5

Unique specifications to each model are as follows:

Model Max. Stroke (DC), µm Resistance (DC), Ω Inductance, mH Weight
lb kg
AA-050L ± 25 1.0 1.8 5.9 2.7
AA-100L ± 50 1.9 3.6 8.4 3.8
AA-150L ± 75 2.8 5.5 10.6 4.8
AA-200L ± 100 3.7 7.3 13.0 5.9
AA-250L ± 125 4.6 9.1 15.5 7.0

Actuator Options:

Each ETREMA actuator has options to help suit our customers' needs. Below is an example of a typical actuator order configuration, with the available options shown.

An envelope drawing of the standard actuators is shown in Figure 1 below. There are two ways by which they can be mechanically coupled to a system: via the male output rod at the top of the actuator, and via the female threaded interface at the bottom of the actuator. Both interfaces come standard with 3/8-24 UNF threads but can be ordered with metric threads for an additional charge.

The electrical interface is customer-specified to be located either at the bottom of the device (in the axial direction of the actuator), or at the side. Electrical connection is accomplished via a supplied cable with a locking, splash-proof LEMO connector.

The actuator can also be ordered either as a sealed or air-cooled version. The location of the 1/8-27 NPT air connection is the same as the chosen location for the electrical connection.
