Actuators with Integrated Controllers

The EQ series of electric actuators feature high performance motors with integrated controllers, as well as battery-less absolute encoders.  Not all applications require the 64 positions and finely tuned speed and acceleration / deceleration curves available from JXC controllers.  Instead, EQ integrated controllers offer a simpler 2-position solenoid mode with continuous travel from origin to the opposite end of the stroke.  A closed center mode can also be set with an intermediate position.  Motor enclosures include 3 communication LEDs and M12 metal cable connectors.  Motor control optimization helps achieve up to 60% CO2 emissions.



Actuators with Integrated Controllers FAQs


Do I need to be a programmer to set this up?

No, it features a step data input method and a solenoid mode that allows you to operate it like a simple pneumatic valve without complex coding.


Can I set more than two positions?

Yes, you can typically program up to 2 distinct positions with an intermediate point position.

 

Can I set speed, acceleration and deceleration? 

Yes, within the setup there is Operating Conditions settings.

 


If the controller dies, do I have to replace the whole actuator?

No, the integrated controller is a separate, bolt-on module that can be replaced independently of the mechanical actuator body.


Does it require homing after a power failure?

No, it uses a battery-less absolute encoder that remembers its exact position even when the power is completely disconnected.


Can it handle side-loading?

Only the EQYG (guided) model is designed for side-loading; the standard EQY and EQFS models require the load to be centered or externally supported to avoid damage.
