Introduction
ETEL S.A. presents its innovative short stroke actuators, specifically the TUCANA and AQUARIUS models, designed for applications requiring precise axial movement over short distances. These actuators are ideal for high dynamics and compact spaces.

Main Features
The TUCANA and AQUARIUS actuators offer a nominal stroke of 10 mm, with a peak force of 29 N and continuous force of 11.5 N. They can achieve speeds up to 1 m/s and accelerations up to 30 g. Key features include a high-efficiency single-phase motor, built-in gravity compensator, and excellent thermal management due to an integrated heatsink.

Applications
These actuators are suitable for various applications such as touch pad calibration, chip shooters, and die ejectors. They are particularly effective when paired with ETEL’s RTMBi indexing tables and AccurET controllers, meeting the rigorous demands of Turret Testing handlers.

Performance Example
A typical performance scenario includes a 2.5 mm stroke completed in 6.6 ms with an acceleration of 30 g, maintaining a tracking error of ±5 µm at the end of the movement.
