Stainless Steel Actuator Solutions Near New York

All actuators in this range are available in Stainless Steel 316 (SST 316) or Titanium. Both materials provide excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater and marine environments. Titanium is recommended for applications requiring reduced weight alongside maximum corrosion protection in deep-sea or long-duration deployments.

The self-compensated linear and rotary actuators support RS422 (RS485 duplex on 4 wires) and RS232 serial communication at 19200 baud, 8, N, 1. All control parameters, including status broadcast frequency and virtual limit switch positions, are stored in onboard EEPROM and are configurable via a Windows software utility.

The self-compensated models feature a 30-bit absolute multi-turn encoder mounted on the output shaft — 14-bit single-turn resolution (16,383 counts/turn) plus a 16-bit turns counter. This encoder retains precise position information between power cycles, eliminating the need for re-homing routines after power loss, which is critical for subsea ROV and valve control applications.

Force output ranges from 1,000 N (220 lbs) for the self-compensated and Trunion models up to 50,000 N (approximately 11,240 lbs) for the Linear Actuator 60,000 N Force. Scalable configurations up to 77,500 N are also available on the Trunion series, making these actuators suitable for both precision manipulation and heavy-duty subsea valve actuation.

Yes. All actuators use standard Seacon or SubConn underwater connectors, brushless motors for high reliability, and support RS422/RS232 control protocols widely adopted in ROV architectures. The self-compensated models include all driver electronics internally, reducing the external electronics footprint required on the ROV tether management system.

NV Mechanics Design Ltd. accepts custom configuration inquiries for force output, stroke length, power supply voltage (24 VDC, 48 VDC, or 230 VDC), and material selection. PDF drawings and STEP files are available for all products to support integration planning. Contact the manufacturer directly for custom specifications, lead times, and volume pricing.
