PA-R-135-4 Actuator Series
The Pegasus Actuators team has developed a new actuator series.
The PA-R-135-4 typ servo-actuator series is a micro servo actuator that provides ultimate reliability, precision and power output in a tiny but rugged package.
The case is only 13,5mm (0,53in.) thick, weight is 65gr. (2,3oz). It is available for 6, 12 and 24 VDC operating voltage. We can provide it with PWM, differential PWM or RS485. The PA-SC and PA-ME features have been incorporated as a standard as well as the sensor feedback.
Pegasus Actuators participate world record flight
QinetiQ has filed for three world records for Zephyr, its solar powered high-altitude long endurance (HALE) Unmanned Air System (UAS), with the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI), subject to ratification for achieving:
the absolute duration record for an Unmanned Air Vehicle – being filed at 336 hrs / 22 minutes
the duration record for a UAV (in the U/1.c / 50-500Kg category) – time as above
the absolute altitude record for a UAV (in the above category) – being filed at 70.740 ft (21.561 m)
Like many notable international manufacturers of VTOL UAV´s SungWoo Engineering Co. Ltd. has chosen our rugged PA-R-205-6 equipped with the PA-ME - contact-less position sensor to control the main rotor swashplate, the tail rotor and the engine throttle-flap of their Remo-H C100 VTOL-UAV.
The Remo-H C100 VTOL-UAV is perfectly suitable for applications such as: green crop-dusting, prevention of epidemics, aerial manuring and seeding, crop-dusting on forests & golf courses, real-time monitoring of forest fire control, day&night surveillance of illegal fishing and smuggling, observation of red tides and power-line towers.

Our PA-R-205-4 type actuators have been selected to operate the control surfaces of the latest ZALA AERO 421-16 flying wing uav design which recently has been awarded certification of air worthiness after successfully completing its final stage of development and completing 1000 test flight hours. Boasting minimum 7hr endurance, 3kgs payload, ship launch/recovery and cost effectiveness compared to its nearest rivals.
Pegasus actuator products were chosen to control the swashplates, tail rotors and the engine throttles of Zala Aero´s 421-02 and 421-06 VTOL UAV-helicopters.

UAV project manager Mr. Gergely Tuzson of Digitalis Ltd. has this to say about Pegasus servo actuators:
"We launched our UAV helicopter development project in 2008.
The UC-1 named prototype completed its first fully autonomous test flight one year later. Since then we proceeded numerous successful test flights.
Additionally to the VTOL uav airframe we developed various payload options like measuring instruments, sensors and cameras together with the necessary anti vibration accessories.
For us here at Digitalis Kft. reliability and predictability of the essential airframe components like, propulsion unit, autopilot and flight control actuators is imperative, thats why we decided for Pegasus PA-R-205-4 type actuators exclusively."
"Pegasus actuators performed impeccably even under the most awkward circumstances."
