Sipos Aktorik

In its newsletter, Sipost, Sipos Aktorik has announced unveiling SIPOS 5 HiMod electric actuator series, which the company says, comes with a High-res Absolute Position encoder with a maximum tolerance of 0.003 %. Sipos claims that by means of the encoder, the HiMod actuator registers the position of the output shaft even when there is a power failure. It adds that as a result, changes of position which could occur, for example, by operating the hand wheel, can be reliably identified, and when power is reinstated, this information is communicated accurately to the control system.

The manufacturer lists the following product features and advantages:

• The continuous precision actuator comes with IP68 Protection Class status, which provides high resistance against corrosion and continuous duty according to Class DEN15714-2.
• The installation procedure is completely non-intrusive and adjustment of end positions can be achieved without opening the actuator.
• The double-sealed electro-connection compartment guarantees that electronic components are kept safe from harmful environmental influences – a feature that is particularly important for actuators during installation.
• It is ideal for situations where continuous high-demand and long-term usage is required.
• Intelligent software solutions are at the heart of the product’s capability, ensuring that they support the most diverse process requirements.
• It comes with a five-year guarantee on motor and gear parts – components that are most subjected to continuous wear-and-tear.
• It works without a battery.
