Frequently Asked Questions

What depth rating do your underwater electric rotary actuators support?

The Rotary Actuator – Self Compensated is rated to 3000 msw (meters of seawater). It uses oil pressure compensation to equalize internal and external pressure, making it suitable for deep-sea ROVs, subsea robotics, and ocean research equipment operating at extreme depths without risk of pressure-induced failure.

What communication protocols does the rotary actuator support?

How precise is the position control of the rotary actuator?

Does the actuator retain its position after a power cycle?

What operating modes does the rotary actuator support?

What connector type is used on the underwater rotary actuator?

What is the maximum torque and output speed of the rotary actuator?
