Electric Actuators Replace Pneumatics

Sept. 2, 2010
These ERD electric rod-style actuators are designed as an economical electric alternative to non-repairable pneumatic cylinders. 
The actuators deliver forces up to 75 pounds (334 N) at speeds up to 40 inches per second (1,016 mm/sec). They are available in body sizes that are equivalent to 5/8-in, 1-in and 1.5-in bore non-repairable pneumatic cylinders. These three sizes are available in stroke lengths up to 8, 10 and 12 inches, respectively, and forces up to 20, 40 and 75 pounds. The three sizes, from small to large, accept NEMA 11, 17 or 23 frame stepper and servo motors. The actuators can accommodate six different sensing or switching choices: reed, solid state PNP (sourcing) or solid state NPN (sinking), normally open, flying leads or quick-disconnect. All switches are CE rated and are RoHS compliant for environmental compatibility.Tolomatic Inc.www.tolomatic.com763.478.8000
