Rotary Actuators

CTS actuators offer precision control, mechatronic solutions that are ideally suited for extreme temperature, high torque environments. We package the right combination of reliability, response and torque which are critical components in throttle, turbocharger and EGR applications specifically designed to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.  Our actuators can be fitted with position sensing capabilities for closed-loop control allowing it to communicate with the engine control unit (ECU) to allow system optimization.  Global emissions targets continue to require more complicated solutions, requiring a combination of engineering disciplines.  With our expertise in mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, CTS provides answers. 

 

Brushless DC (BLDC) Actuators

The 647 / 648 series actuators are electrically commutated, compact, and capable of generating high torque specifically designed for extreme environments associated with on and off-highway applications. Typical applications include air intake (ETC), variable geometry turbocharging (VGT) and exhaust gas applications (EGR) which require products designed to withstand intense vibration, extreme temperatures, and reliability standards.

Automotive Applications

BLDC (Brushless DC) actuators are increasingly utilized in turbocharger systems to improve engine performance, efficiency, and responsiveness in automotive,aerospace and industrial vehicle applications. CTS actuators play a crucial role in modern turbocharger systems by enabling precise control over key turbocharger functions such as variable geometry adjustment, wastegate regulation, compressor bypass, and turbocharger speed control. These actuators contribute to improved engine performance, fuel efficiency, emissions control, and drivability in automotive and aerospace applications.

Industrial Applications

CTS BLDC actuators can be used in various industrial equipment and machinery for process control, motion control, and automation tasks. They are valuable in applications such as valve actuators, pump systems, conveyor systems, and packaging machinery, offering high efficiency, and long service life.
