Exlar | Excellence in Actuation

Exlar Electric Actuators from Curtiss-Wright deliver an unmatched range of capabilities, power, and performance in both linear and rotary configurations.

Select from a broad range of products to find the most robust, reliable, and cost-effective solution for nearly any motion application.

Exlar offers many distinct benefits over hydraulic, pneumatic, and other electromechanical systems: lower cost to operate, more compact packaging, improved load ratings, increased speed, and longer life.

The Need for a Better Alternative: Electric Actuation

In an industrial world familiar with fluid power systems (hydraulics and pneumatics), Exlar Corporation recognized the need to develop a new and improved form of actuation. The new method would need to:

• Provide better positioning performance
• Obtain greater control flexibility
• Eliminate fluid leaks
• Improve energy efficiency
• Maintain the robustness and reliability of existing technologies
