Ship actuator ELA

for ROVfor AUVselectric

The ELA-Electrical Linear Actuator is a smart servo linear actuator with integrates electronics designed to perform in most demanding environments.

• THRUST

Thrust capability: up to 200 kg depending on models

• DEPTH RATE

Down to a 600-meter (max.) depth rate

• ROBUSTNESS

Less maintenance, more reliability

The ELA-Electrical Linear Actuator is a compact, powerful and smart electrical actuator, designed for underwater environments to a maximum of a 600-meter depth rate. Robust and versatile, it easily integrates into complex projects where precision, reliability and compactness are critical.

Available in 3 standard versions:

• ELA Type 1 – from 0 to 4 mm/s (configurable). For the EMA 5F only.
• ELA Type 2 – from 0 to 4 mm/s (configurable).
• ELA Type 2 – from 0 to 16 mm/s (configurable).

Actuators designed to meet your specific needs:
All industrial or underwater applications have specific technical requirements. It is why we develop customized solutions, in collaboration with your teams.
Our R&D department supports you step by step, from the analysis of your constraints to the design of customized actuators which perfectly fit your environment, your target performances and your integration constraints.

Customize your solution according to various criteria:

• Movement speed
• Applied thrust
• Range
• Depth rate
• Connector type
• Mechanical termination

Features

• Ideal for applications with large thrust where precision and motion control are needed
• Position feedback in velocity and position mode
• 1 connector available for add-on capacity (additional actuator, camera, projector…)
• With embedded electronic controller (no external POD required)
• Versatile and easy to integrate

The ELA Type 2 exists in 4 mm/s and 16 mm/s versions with on-demand customizable settings (velocity, thrust, depth), download our data sheets to learn more.

The ELA integrates an embedded controller with:

• Programmable position or velocity commands
• Real time position feedback
• Smooth and precise control, even in extreme conditions

Modular connectivity:

Its additional connector allows to:

• Add external equipment (camera, sensor, projector, sonar, etc…)
• Chain other actuators (ELA, ERA, ERLA) to build interconnected and scalable systems.

Even more data available with the ELA Type 2:
The ELA Type 2 offers four additional functions compared to the ELA Type 1:

• Activate or disactivate the ELA internal 120 ohm termination resistance to chain actuators on the same line.
• Access internal telemetry data: motor temperature, internal humidity, temperature and pressure.
• Get all the actuator’s status information, as well as input tension, rod position and torque.
• Check the ELA error codes for a quick diagnostic in complement of the general status.

Easy to integrate

• Quick integration in various submersible systems,
• Ultra compact design with excellent power vs bulk ratio,
• Guidance available from our team.

Actuator Commander Software
The ELA comes with a remote-control software. This user-friendly software allows simple setting, real time monitoring and quick diagnosis of the system.

• Simple settings,
• Live tracking,
• Quick system diagnosis.
