HomeProductsELA – Electrical linear actuator
Actionneur linéaire électrique - TMI-Orion Electrical Linear Actuator

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

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.

Example: series of customized ELAs
  • 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
ELA Electrical linear actuator
  • 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.

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

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.

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.

  • Manoeuvring system: rudders, stabilizers, hydroplanes, hydrofoils,
  • Cap, position and buoyancy control,
  • Actuator for manipulator arms and embedded systems (cameras, sonars, spot lights, pan & tilt, etc…).
  • Stabilization and dynamic positioning systems for offshore platforms,
  • Opening and closing of underwater valves (oil or gas flow regulation),
  • Anchored structures inspection (subsea cables, anchoring, immersed modules).
  • Orientation adjustment for waterpower, tidal power or wave power devices,
  • Energy generation optimization with ocean currents.
  • Positioning and manipulation of measurement instruments, sensors and sampling devices.
  • Underwater locking and sampling systems for environmental or oceanographic missions.
  • Load manipulation (building modules, ports equipment, offshore installations)
  • Operation assistance in ports, shipbuilding, fish farms and industrial areas.

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.
