ELA-Electrical Linear Actuator, the actuator for your underwater applications

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
Do you have a specific need ? Let’s talk about it.
We build your ideal solution with you.
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.
