Trombetta's New Mag Actuator Simplifies Switchgear Design
Milwaukee, WI - Trombetta Motion Technologies' new Bi-Directional Latching Actuator brings both increased flexibility and simplicity to switchgear applications. This unique actuator can be customized to work in most types of switchgear applications - vacuum switchgear applications in particular.
Performance benefits include:
o Simplified remote actuation - extend or retract possible with only two electrical inputs.
o Zero power required to hold - two-position permanent magnet latching features to prevent demagnetization.
o Simplified electromechanical design - powerful actuation and latching forces enable direct contact loading. No linkages or springs required.
o Very low amount of energy required per unlatch, actuate and relatch cycle - typically 25 joules or less for a 15.5 KV vacuum bottle.
o Fast operation - typically less than two cycles.
o Easy to retrofit to existing switchgear designs
1. Compact design.
2. Velocities aligned with vacuum bottle requirements.
3. Strokes, actuation forces and latching design can be customized.
Additionally, Trombetta's experienced engineering group will work with switchgear manufacturers to define and execute custom application requirements. Actuation solutions are then developed to meet or exceed these requirements.
A customized interface will also be produced to adapt the existing manual and automatic controls to work with the Trombetta actuator. The end result is a more efficient and flexible switchgear function based on ground-breaking technology.
