Introduction
Functional Description
MTS Series 215 Rotary Actuators are heavy-duty, torque-generating actuators
that operate under precision servovalve control. When coupled with an
appropriate MTS servovalve and transducer, Series 215 Actuators provide the
rotational motion and torque required to torsion test materials and components.
These actuators receive drive power from a hydraulic power unit via a servovalve
which is manifold-mounted to the top of the actuator.
Series 215 Actuators have a maximum static displacement of 100° or ±50°. The
maximum dynamic displacement is 90˚ or ±45° with hydraulic cushions in the
last 5° of displacement.

The preceding figure shows a Series 215 Rotary Actuator with an attached
Servovalve/Servovalve manifold, flange adapter, and foot mounting assembly.
Optional Equipment
A variety of options are available for the Series 215 Rotary Actuators. The
following figure and table show a test system containing a rotary actuator and the
available optional components.
