NTS1 – The Versatile Spindle Actuator / Linear Actuator – Electric Drive Technology from Germany

Configurator Guide for the Configuration of Your NTS1 Spindle Actuator / Linear Actuator – Available with 230V / 24V / 12V

1. Voltage

Check the application's power supply to select the appropriate voltage.

• 230 V: Ideal for applications with direct mains connection.
• 24 V: Standard in many industrial applications.
• 12 V: Suitable for mobile or battery-operated devices.

2. Force of the Spindle Actuator

In the standard version, the spindle actuator is designed for a force of 600 N.

• What are 600 N?
  • Newton (N) is the unit of force. 600 N corresponds to a gravitational force of approximately 60 kg (1 kg ≈ 9.81 N).
  • This means: The actuator can lift a load of up to 60 kg vertically.
  • Calculate the weight or required pulling force of the load – additional resistances or angled movements should be taken into account.
• What force is required?
  • Up to 600 N: Suitable for medium-duty applications, e.g., adjusting blinds, flaps, or doors.
  • Over 600 N: For heavy loads, such as heavy flaps, gates, or industrial machinery.
  • Under 600 N: For sensitive or lighter applications where precise control is important.

3. Speed of the Actuator

The speed indicates how quickly the spindle actuator can extend or retract its stroke.

• Standard speed:
  • At 600 N, the speed is 13 mm/s – a balanced compromise between power and speed.
• Options for other speeds:
  • Slower: Better for precise control and heavier loads.
  • Faster: Ideal for time-critical applications where short reaction times are required.
• Calculation of speed:
  • Movement time: Should the movement be completed in 20 seconds?
  • Stroke length: Is a 200 mm stroke required?
  • Formula: Speed = Stroke Length / Time
  • Example: 200 mm / 20 s = 10 mm/s

4. Stroke Length

The stroke length determines how far the actuator can extend or retract its shaft.

• Determine the appropriate stroke length:
  • Measure the maximum length required by your application.
  • The extended stroke is continuously adjustable on every actuator.
  • Choose a stroke length that is slightly longer than the required length to allow for tolerances.
  • Note: The dimensions of the actuator change with the stroke:
    • Width: 44 mm / Height: 71.4 mm / Length: 180 mm + Stroke

5. Signal Contacts

• Without signal contacts: For applications that do not require position monitoring.
• With signal contacts:
  • Enables monitoring of the actuator's position.
  • Allows precise monitoring of the end positions of the drive tube.
  • The signal contacts are potential-free switching contacts used for relaying and processing the end position signals to higher-level control systems.
  • In this configuration, four additional conductors are available in the connection cable.
  • Application:
    • Safety monitoring
    • Automation
    • Process control

6. Synchronous Operation

• Synchronous operation is useful when two actuators are used in parallel.
• It ensures that both actuators operate synchronously to prevent damage caused by asynchrony.
• If one actuator stops, the other is automatically deactivated – ensuring smooth and safe operation.
