General Industry Application, Automation, Machines, Processing and Packing Lines, etc.

The combination of high performance and the compact in-line design makes it easy to utilise our actuators in a wide range of industry applications. Stability, flexible cabling, ease of operation, simple installation and service are just some of the qualities that make Concens actuators powerful alternatives to hydraulics and pneumatics. Purchasing an actuator system costs less and has fewer variable costs than similar hydraulic or pneumatic systems. For conditions where hygiene, environmental and energy consumption requirements are paramount and rising, an actuator solution is well worth considering. Compared to hydraulic and pneumatic systems, the electric actuator is easier to control and thus more precise. It is particularly suited for use in harsh environments where cleaning is carried out using liquids under high pressure with versions for IP69K protection.
Concens offers a complete system where the actuator and its positioning can be controlled by a standard industry PLC using an interface box between the actuator and the PLC. Both con35 and con50 can be supplied with optional Hall sensors. It is often the case that these industries demand this kind of solution, because there is a need for systems where the actuator speed, positioning and synchronisation can be controlled. The Concens control unit allows the actuator to have a soft start and stop. The control unit makes it easy to modify existing pneumatic based applications with actuators from Concens. Concens actuators are available with 12 / 24 VDC versions. Hall sensors at the motor axle ensure extremely accurate displacement of the piston rod.

 

Typical applications

  • Automation purposes
  • Work environment improvement, e.g. height adjustment
  • Applications for functions requiring lifting, turning, adjusting, pulling, etc.: con35 or con50. Torque according to need and depending on requirements. con35 and on50 can be supplied in IP66, IP 68 and IP69K and in stainless steel AISI 304 or 316.
  • Control and supply: Supply from the 12V or 24 VDC systems. Relay control. Concens can supply various power supply system. For accurate positioning a combination of Hall sensors and special OEM control is needed.


 

Trains, Busses, Special Vehicles and Agricultural Machines

Trains, busses, special vehicles such as signpost wagons/carts, salt and sand spreaders and agricultural machines such as harvesters, muck spreader and field sprayers belong to this segment. The range of applications includes many branches/industries and many manufacturers. Therefore, conditions can vary significantly from case to case. Despite its simple external appearance, the Concens actuator is a powerful tool. Thus, it is ideal for use in mobile applications, where a compact size, added flexibility and strength are required.
Manufacturers require high performance (load and speed) and limited built-in measures. Concens offers a wide range of compact and high performance products with a built-in friendly design, all models are powered by 12 or 24 V DC. For accurate positioning of the actuator concens can supply it with Hall sensors. In most applications, actuators are powered by the vehicles’ 12/24V DC system.

Vehicles for the Disabled and Auxiliary Equipment

Vehicles for the disabled can either be equipped for transporting the disabled, for instance four passengers and their wheelchairs are loaded in the vehicle, while a driver is located in a normal driving seat or they can be equipped so that the handicapped person can drive the car himself, typically from a specially adapted driver seat.
Many new vehicles for the disabled are built with hidden auxiliary equipment. Users are increasingly demanding that their cars are the focus of attention and not their handicap. Concens actuators allow companies modifying vehicles to meet buyer demands. We offer a wide range of compact and high performance actuators with unique designs. All models can be supplied in 12 or 24 V DC versions. For the majority of applications, the actuators are powered by the 12 VDC system of the car.
