Usage
The UCS Rack electric rack-and-pinion actuator with 750mm stroke is designed for automated opening and closing of windows in building management systems, natural ventilation, or smoke extraction applications.
Advantages
- Precise electronic end-of-travel control with the ability to stop at intermediate positions.
- High push and pull force up to 400 N, suitable for large or heavy windows.
- Anodized aluminum housing ensures corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance.
- Parallel connection capability simplifies multi-window installations.
- Rated protection class IP40; suitable for indoor environments. Minor drawback: not intended for outdoor use without additional protection.
Specifications
- The actuator features a linear rack-and-pinion design constructed from anodized aluminum, providing strength and durability while maintaining a compact profile (housing dimensions approx. 47 x 32 mm).
- Complies with relevant safety standards; electronic limit switches ensure safe operation. Rated duty cycle is approximately 30% to prevent overheating during continuous use[2].
- The unit delivers a maximum thrust of up to 400 N (temporary load) at an opening speed between approximately 4–14 mm/s, depending on load conditions[2]. Maximum stroke length is precisely controlled at 750 mm per cycle[1][2].
- Differentiating features include silent operation modes, polarity inversion control (24V DC ±15% input), electronic stop in every position, and parallel wiring support for synchronized window management[1][2].
How it works
This electric actuator uses a rack-and-pinion system powered by an internal motor. When voltage is applied via either manual control or automation systems, the device moves the connected window sash along its full stroke of up to 750 mm before automatically stopping at preset endpoints using its built-in electronic limit controls[1][2].
