Actuators

Actuators
You can use the actuators from Berger Lahr to position
flaps, valves or slides with great precision. Inside the com-
pact servo drive housing there is a motor, a gearbox and a
control unit. There is a choice of three actuator types to
solve your positioning problems: STM, STA and STE.

Overview actuators

Actuator type Description Described on ...

STE Actuators of type STE are controlled by analogue signals Page 133
(current or voltage). The angle of rotation of the shaft Scale drawings page 131
can be set via analogue signals. The operating range can
be freely defined between 0 and 90 K . Any angle of ro-
tation can be selected within the defined operating
range. Depending on the version, the setpoint can be set
as a voltage from 0 to 10 V or as a current from 4 to 20
mA. The limits of the operating range can also be safe-
guarded by two limit switches.
STA Actuators of type STA are available with 3, 4 or 5 cams. Page 137
Two cams serve to define the limits, and the others are Scale drawings page 131
available for controlling external devices. The cams are
continuously adjustable. Actuators of type STA are also
fitted with 1 or 2 relays. Switching actions for control-
ling the motor are controlled via these relays. STA actu-
ators are used to move air flaps in oil and gas burners.
Various wiring arrangements are available for connect-
ing to standard burners. Actuators of type STA can be
supplied to run clockwise or anti-clockwise.
STM Actuators of type STM are constructed in the same way Page 147
as actuators of type STA. They differ in having no relays. Scale drawings page 131
Actuators of type STM are available in clockwise and
anti-clockwise versions.
