TRANSFORMING CONVEYOR AUTOMATION

Curtiss-Wright curtisswright.com Based on planetary roller screw technology, the FTX Series offers robustness in a compact form factor, making them a suitable alternative to hydraulic cylinders. With continuous force rating to 44 kN (10,000 lbf), speed to 1166 mm/sec (46 in/sec) and stroke lengths from 150 mm (6-in.) to 900 mm (3-ft), the FTX125 can be applied across a wide range of linear motion applications. The FTX125, a next-generation version of the current FT45 model, features the following key enhancements over the existing FT Series designs: •

High capacity planetary roller screw offers up to 15X the life and significantly higher shock load resistance than a comparably sized ball screw

IP65 (min.) environmental protection

Idler pulley design greatly simplifies motor installation and belt tensioning

maintenance and more.
