Description
DA 26-30-5024 Volz Servo guarantees maximum safety and reliability; features a brush less motor and a contactless wear free position sensor. This means maximum service life with the greatest-possible power delivery and its design prevents electromagnetic emissions (EMI) caused by brush sparking. The housing made of saltwater-resistant aluminum is HART-coat treated, meets the IP-67 standard for water and dust sealing and provides an integrated Sub-D connector (MIL spec. circular connector or cable gland on request). Brackets integrated in the housing for horizontal and vertical assembly. 6-fold, ball-bearing supported, steel gear train, drive shaft with ANSI multi-tooth (square shaped drive shaft on request).
The DA 26 series can be equipped with a standard PWM input (Pulse Width Modulation) that has two different interfaces: a differential, galvanic isolated interface (Opto-Coupler) and a single-ended interface with CMOS levels that is also used to program the servo parameters. IT includes analog position feedback to detect the drive shaft position. A differential RS-422 PWM interface can be chosen instead of the opto-coupled interface.
The DA 26 with digital serial command interface (RS-485) receives its commands via a CRC secured protocol. It can return not only shaft position in digital format, but also several diagnostic data such as the level of the supply voltage, current consumption and the temperature of the motor and electronics in digital form (optionally also humidity within actuator case). These kind of diagnostic capabilities help to determine the health state of the actuators before, during and after deployment.
DA 26 actuators have been subjected to endurance test of more than 3 million cycles (>2,000 hours). Furthermore, successful tests based on MIL-STD 810F (vibration) and 810G (acceleration/shock) have been performed. DA 26 actuators are used, for instance, in Schiebel Camcopter S100.
About Volz Servos
A servo from Volz excels due to the simplicity of its design while simultaneously maximizing positioning force, reliability and durability. Moreover, a variety of electric interfaces makes it possible, for instance, to monitor the operating condition of the servos by reading out the current consumption, the internal temperature and humidity, etc.
Every actuator compromises a DC motor, a gear train and control electronics governed by microprocessors with integrated position feedback. These are electromechanical servo units that precisely position a radial output drive.
Depending on the type of actuator, the maximum travel in the standard configuration varies between 90° and 170°. Versions with larger travel of up to 330° or “Multiturn” versions can be provided on request.
