Sharpe Precision Built Servo Actuator

HlGH PERFORMANCE
Special attention has been paid to the selection of seals and wear rings to minimize friction in comparison to conventional actuators. This allows greater sensitivity for small position changes combined with high speed capability. Designed for 3000-psi maximum operating pressure.


RUGGED AND RELlABLE
Field experience has been incorporated into the design of the Sharpe actuator, making it ideal for rugged environments such as sawmills. Each actuator is flushed and tested before delivery to the customer.


INTEGRAL TRANSDUCER MOUNTING
The actuator rod is rifle drilled and the blind head is tapped to accept a Temposonic TM or equivalent type linear displacement transducer. A transducer magnet is attached to the piston lock nut.


EASY INSTALLATION
The Sharpe servo actuator is a pre-engineered assembly which eliminates the need for additional hydraulic manifolds and plumbing between the control valve and the cylinder. Manifolds are provided to suit servo and proportional valves.

CONTROLS
Complete systems including electronic controls are available. Manual or Automatic modes can be selected to control the actuators exact position or motion.

FLEXIBILITY
A variety of mounting styles are available including:
  • front flange

  • front, rear and mid-trunnion

  • various styles of foot mount

  • bores of 1.5", 2", 2.5", 3.25", 4"

  • HIGH PRESSURE FILTER

  • filter bolts directly to the servo manifold. SAE 4 bolt flange.

  • 40 gpm filter.

  • 1 micron nominal.

  • 3 micron absolute.

  • can be rotated in 90 degree increments to accommodate mounting clearance constraints


    OPTIONAL ACCESSORlES:

  • trunnion bracket assemblies

  • transducer guard

  • custom manifolds such as counterbalance
    (load holding) and relief/anti-cavitation
    plus transition plates to adapt ISO3 and ISO5 pattern valves to manifolds with Moog 62-1XX and Moog 78-1XX pattern valves
  • custom rod end mounting assemblies

  • EASY SEAL REPLACEMENT:
    Most models of Sharpe actuators are designed to allow for service of the rod gland without disturbing the tie rods. This permits quick and easy replacement of the rod wiper, seals and gland.

    Below are two examples of stocked transition manifolds/plates:
