Section 1 850G Series Linear Actuator User Manual Introduction This manual describes the operation of Newport 850G Series Linear Actuator. When purchased with a Newport controller, the 850G is fully compatible with the ESP MotionMaster, and PMC200 series controllers. If...
10-6 Torr at 25°C. Controller Interfaces The 850G Series actuators incorporate many new features, such as travel limit switches and manual actuation, not found in previous Newport actuators like the 850, 850A, and 850B Series. Additionally, since the 850G use a higher torque motor, the servo parameters required for smooth operation are different than for previous actuators.
2.1.2 MM2000 PC Card Motion Controller The MM2000 controller drives up to four 850G actuators via Newport’s Universal Interface box (UIB) P/N 21463-01 and using firmware version 1.5 or later. The controller firmware version may be displayed by using the VE command.
Please call Newport for the latest information regarding upgrades. PMC200 Series Controllers using version 4.0 or later are compatible with the 850G Series actuators and include the proper interface to handle the limit switches and manual knob.
850G actuator is ‘plug-and-play’ compatible with the ESP controller/driver. 2.1.10 Non-Newport Controllers If you are using a non-Newport controller/driver please refer to the connector pinout provided. Note that in order to utilize the manual knob feature, power must be removed from the motor (open circuit). Failure to do so properly may result in dynamic braking on the motor and cause damage to the gearhead, invalidating your warranty.
Section 3 Installation, Set-up, and Operation The actuators are shipped in sturdy, foam-cushioned boxes. Please inspect the actuators and/or controllers immediately and notify the carrier if damage is obvious. The actuator includes a wrench to access the travel limit adjustment and a retaining nut for actuator mounting. Setting the Travel Limits Before mounting the 850G actuator, follow the directions below to adjust the travel limits such that the actuator will trigger one of its limit switches...

When using the brass mounting sleeve, the actuator may be mounted to a wide variety of Newport components in one of four ways: Unscrew the retaining nut and insert the 850G into the mount. Use a spanner wrench included to tighten the nut.
Incompatible and non-Newport controllers, who do not properly implement this feature, may cause the actuator to jump to a previous position upon power on and this may result in damage to the attached equipment if a crash occurs.
The following describes the alterations that make the standard actuators vacuum compatible. The high vacuum model of the 850G Series Linear Actuator, model 850GV6, incorporates the following features: Six foot Teflon-coated cable from actuator attached to six foot standard cable.
(See Setting the Travel Limits). Any attempt to disassemble the actuator will cause a misalignment. Call the factory before you try to adjust, repair, or alter any of the 850G Series actuators without factory-provided instructions. Any unauthorized attempts to adjust, repair, or alter the actuators or controllers will invalidate your warranty.
