Hygienic servo actuator: axenia value No chance for germs and bacteria

EHEDG-compliant system design suitable for CIP and SIP affords maximum protection against microorganisms and corrosion.

Treotham Automation provides the new WITTENSTEIN hygienic system design that is ideal for integration into open machine architecture. Microbiologically safe, residue-free cleaning, resistant to corrosion – all of these attributes are united in the hygienic servo actuators in WITTENSTEIN alpha’s axenia value series. Developed for use in the sterile and wet areas of production and packaging machines, these motor/gearbox systems can be incorporated into open units without any additional protective measures. That not only saves time and money for integration; it also avoids the multiple performance, process and product risks associated with enclosed or encapsulated servo actuator solutions. axenia value servo actuators in single-cable technology complement WITTENSTEIN alpha’s portfolio of Hygienic Design and EHEDG *- compliant planetary gearboxes (HDV and HDP). WITTENSTEIN cyber motor, a sister company of WITTENSTEIN alpha, also offers the compact servo actuators in its cyber ® dynamic line for output ratings up to 335 watts as mechatronic drive solutions for sterile applications where germs, bacteria, microorganisms and dirt pockets must be ruled out and machine components have to be cleaned fast, reliably and without residue. System toolkit enables scalable variants

Using the system toolkit provided for this purpose, the hygien ic servo actuators in the axenia value series can be configured in three motor sizes with a maximum acceleration torque of 32 Nm, 80 Nm or 200 Nm and gear ratios from i=10 to i=25, depending on the desired task and the performance requirements. A holding brake, temperature sensors and analog and digital encoder systems for position and speed can be built in as options. Regarding the controller, these servo actuators in Hygienic Design are specified for more than 20 possible types from different manufacturer s to ensure optimal connectivity.
