Curtiss-Wright today announced that it has completed the launch of its online electromechanical actuator catalog featuring 3D solid model and spec sheet downloads, powered by 3Dfindit. This tool provides engineers with 24/7 access to 3D CAD models and technical data, streamlining the actuator sizing and selection process.

“For 30 years our actuation products have improved factory efficiency; with this new tool, we are looking to improve the efficiency of sizing and selection experience for our customers’ engineers as well,” said Mike Foley VP/General Manager Engineered Actuators, Curtiss-Wright Sensors & Actuation. “Customers can now rapidly select the most appropriate actuator for their design and have a 3D CAD file generated in real time to complete their system analysis.”

Built upon CADENAS’ 3Dfindit platform, the new catalog enables designers to configure actuators based on their specific application needs and download CAD files in their preferred formats. The tool also includes downloadable PDF data sheets, giving users immediate access to key specifications for a specific product configuration.

With the new online catalog, users can choose from more than 100 CAD, BIM, and PDF formats, ensuring they get the exact file type they need. This flexibility enables them to quickly integrate Curtiss-Wright electromechanical actuators such as the Exlar GTX100 into their designs, reducing manual work and minimizing risk.

By partnering with CADENAS, Curtiss-Wright is providing a more efficient, self-service option for engineers who need fast access to technical data. The new catalog eliminates delays in requesting CAD models, helping engineers focus on design and innovation.

The online electromechanical actuator catalog is now live and available for engineers looking to streamline their product selection and design process. Visit Curtiss-Wright Sensors & Actuation to explore the model configurator tool and download CAD models today.

INTERNATIONAL PARIS AIR SHOW 2025, Le Bourget, Paris, France (Hall 3-D28) – June 12, 2025 – Curtiss-Wright Corporation today announced that it is supplying its innovative, extremely compact single-axis servo controller technology to Airbus UpNext in support of the eXtra performance WING demonstrator which is focused on reducing fuel consumption of future aircraft and contributing to aerospace decarbonization strategies. Curtiss-Wright’s Nano Motion Controller is designed for use in precision drive systems with size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints. The servo controller, developed by Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Solutions Division’s facility in Neuhausen Switzerland, complements the Company’s custom electro-mechanical actuation system used on the demonstrator aircraft. This system will feature the complete package of equipment for enabling the semi-aeroelastic hinge function on the scaled demonstrator aircraft which integrates the eXtra performance WING on a Cessna Citation VII business jet platform. 

"We are very proud to support Airbus UpNext in the development of their innovative eXtra performance WING demonstrator with our field-proven precision motion control technology,” said Brian Perry, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions Division. “In collaboration with our Sensors & Actuation division, we are pleased to deliver the complete electro-mechanical actuation solution for the biologically inspired semi-aeroelastic hinge function on the demonstrator aircraft.“

The eXtra performance WING demonstrator, launched in September 2021, takes inspiration from nature to improve wing aerodynamics and performance that is intended to be compatible with any future aircraft configuration and propulsion system to reduce fuel consumption and, as a consequence, CO₂ emissions. 
 
The Curtiss-Wright technology will be integrated into the wing during summer 2025, ready for ground testing and subsequently flight testing in 2026. 

About the Nano Motion Controller 
The Nano Motion Controller is an exceptionally compact (5.4 x 5.3 x 3.8 in/138 x 135 x 97mm) and lightweight (<5 lbs/2 kg) unit that generates up to 120A of peak current with 28V input power to deliver more than 3kW of power.  For the eXtra performance WING demonstrator, the Nano Motion Controller was equipped with an additional internal DC/DC converter to increase the motor voltage from 28V to 50V and was qualified to meet the DO-160 (Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment) standard. 

Curtiss-Wright designs and manufactures its electric actuation products at its Shelby, N.C., Stratford, Ontario, and Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland facilities.
