2G Engineering offers three standard families of subsea electric linear actuators, each precision-engineered to be reliable and perform under harsh conditions.

All linear actuators from 2G Engineering are fully integrated. This means to operate them one only needs to provide power and a command signal. The units need no external oil filled hoses, compensators, motor drivers, servo controllers, or sensors. Power is supplied via a single electrical connector on the unit is all that is required for basic operation in a pre-programed setpoint mode.

The units can be controlled via a simple, open / close signal, a proportional analog input signal, or a full serial datastream. The units can output their status and position via analog outputs and serial data. Actuator movement commands can be as simple as sending an "On" command followed by a "Move to setpoint" command. More advanced control options that are supported include:

• Event-based actions: the actuator can seek up to 30 pre-programmed positions based on analog triggers or timers, or simply move to one setpoint after another
• Move to setpoint at a fixed velocity, at a fixed acceleration rate (Trapezoidal move)
• Control actuator by either absolute or relative positioning commands
• Custom Human Machine Interface (HMI) software is available from 2G Engineering for even further advanced control
