Stainless Steel

The actuator design, with its rounded edges and linear shape means it is also easy to clean. All Concens actuators can be supplied in stainless steel. We also offer two different quality standards, AISI 304 or AISI 316 (including front and rear brackets). Thus providing a unique opportunity to meet market requirements for in-line electrical actuators.

Concens actuator solutions are ideal for most stainless steel applications, e.g. in the following business areas:
 



 

Food, Medical and Processing Industries - Stainless Steel

Due to hygiene requirements, resistance to detergents and cleaning methods, there is a distinct need for stainless steel components in the food, medical and processing industries. The Concens actuator is a precision tool that can be integrated into sterile environments. The combination of high performance and the compact in-line design makes it easy to utilise our actuators in a wide range of food and medical 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.
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.


 

Maritime Industry

For maritime use,  the most basic requirements are watertight design and solid stainless steel construction. Concens actuators are available in a waterproof version that is perfectly suited to harsh maritime environments. Hatches and bulkheads can be opened and closed safely and smoothly.

Concens actuators, all of which can be fabricated out of stainless steel or quality AISI 304 and AISI 316 (including front and rear brackets) offer a unique opportunity to meet market demand for electrical actuators. Concens actuators can be supplied in designs that adhere to IP66, IP68 and  IP69K standards.

The combination of high performance and the compact in-line design makes it easy to use the actuators in a series of maritime applications. Concens actuator solution can be a powerful alternative to hydraulic and pneumatic solutions because of their stability, flexible cables and easy to use controls. An actuator system is far less expensive to purchase than similar hydraulic systems and the total efficiency is several times greater than hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

The maritime industry often requires optional Hall sensors so that actuators speed, positioning and synchronisation can be controlled. Both con35 and con50 can be supplied with optional hall sensors.The Concens control unit allows the actuator is able to make a soft start and stop. The control unit makes it easy to modify existing pneumatic based applications with stainless steel actuators from Concens. Concens actuators are available in 12 / 24 VDC versions. Due to the application of Hall sensors located at the motor axle, the precision of the displacement of the piston rod can be extremely accurate.


Typical applications

  • Automatic door, window and hatch closing / opening, Lifting / lowering of table for additional beds, Roof lifting, etc.:
  • con35, stroke length approx. 350 mm or con50, stroke length approx. 500 mm. Torque variable according to need s and  requirements. con35 and con50 can be supplied in IP66, IP 68 and IP69K and in stainless steel AISI 304 or 316 for external mounting.
  • Control and supply: Supply from the vehicle’s 12 or 24 VDC system and controlled via the concens control unit. For accurate positioning a combination of Hall sensors and special OEM control is needed.


 

Industrial Kitchens

There is an increasing demand for ergonomic design and optimum workplace layouts. Actuators are excellent for applications such as, the workspace height adjustment or tilting of heavy load equipment. The combination of high performance and the compact in-line design allows the actuators to be used in a variety of kitchen applications.
Due to stringent hygiene requirements, resistance to detergents and common cleaning methods in kitchens, the use of stainless steel components is commonplace. With Concens actuators, all of which can be made of stainless steel as well as in AISI 304 or AISI 316 (including front and rear brackets), there is a unique opportunity to match the market requirements for in-line electrical actuators. Concens actuators are available in 12 / 24 VDC versions.

 

Typical applications

  • If application is moving around, then a perfect solution is the unique C3 battery operated system with wireless 24 GHz and wired handset.
  • Work environment improvement, e.g. height adjustment.
  • Applications for functions requiring lifting, turning, adjusting, pulling, etc. con35, stroke length approx. 350 mm. Torque can be varied to suit application.
  • Control and supply: Supply from the 12V or 24 VDC systems Relay controlled. Concens can supply a number of power supply options.
