Usage
The UCS rack-and-pinion electric actuator with a 550mm stroke is designed for automated opening and closing of large windows, louvres, or roof domes, commonly used in natural ventilation systems for commercial or industrial buildings.
Advantages
- Enables efficient automation of window operations for improved indoor air quality and comfort.
- Offers a high thrust force up to 750 N, suitable for larger or heavier window elements.
- Compatible with both 230V AC and 24V DC power supplies for flexibility in installation environments.
- Anodized aluminum finish enhances corrosion resistance and longevity in demanding settings.
- Parallel connection capability allows integration into multi-window control systems; minor drawback: requires appropriate controller selection based on voltage specification.
Specifications
- The device features a robust rack-and-pinion mechanism with a single motor driving one push point. Constructed from anodized aluminum in silver color, it ensures mechanical strength and aesthetic integration into modern facades.
- The actuator offers electronic end-of-stroke detection as well as electronic intermediate stops for precise positioning. Versions comply with essential European directives such as LVD (73/23), EMC (89/336) amended by CE marking (93/68).
- Stroke length: 550 mm. Maximum thrust: up to 750 N. Power supply options: either mains voltage at 230 VAC or low voltage at 24 VDC. Also available in strokes from 180mm to over one meter for various window sizes.
- Differentiating features include dual rack variants (for applications requiring two push points) and parallel wiring support, facilitating multi-actuator synchronization within building automation schemes without the need for clutch accessories.
How it works
The actuator uses an internal motor to drive a rack-and-pinion system that translates rotational motion into linear movement, precisely opening or closing the connected window along its full stroke when activated via compatible wiring controls or automation systems.
