3. They Boast Exceptional Design Features
CDA InterCorp’s actuators are constructed to meet The ID Group clients’ exceptional design requirements to ensure optimal performance and reliability in the most demanding of applications. These solutions utilize a Class H225 insulation system, providing enhanced thermal resilience for the highest-demand applications. They’re designed and built using matched temperature coefficient materials, which ensures functional stability and prevents stresses that are exaggerated by differential response to thermal cycling, creating devices that operate seamlessly under aggressive thermal conditions.
CDA’s actuators also integrate high-strength gearing, specified to handle significant (over)loads while maintaining precision and extended durability. With an exceptional thermal range that spans from 4K (liquid Helium) to above 500K (240°C) in a hard vacuum, they are suitable for space and high radiation environments.
By moving from exceptional to exotic materials, they can also accommodate higher temperature requirements upon request, making them capable of handling even harsher and more challenging conditions.
Nothing is more important than reliability in mission-critical applications.
4. They Provide Versatility Across Diverse Industries
CDA InterCorp actuator solutions exist for versatility across multiple industries, meeting the most demanding operational requirements. They support astronauts in low-Earth orbit and beyond, operating in high radiation and hard vacuums with precision and reliability. In defense, CDA’s services contribute by providing actuators that enable mission-critical and life-critical systems to help defend borders.
In aerospace, these custom solutions are vital contributors to commercial aviation, delivering actuators that meet the highest safety and performance standards. In robotic systems, the implementation of reliable CDA actuators facilitates smooth, accurate, and repeatable motion control in industrial and autonomous systems.
The solutions provided by CDA also perform admirably in nuclear power generation systems, where reliability is the first and most considered specification item.
