Tolomatic has added five new sizes to its line of RSX High-Force actuators designed for use in a range of industrial applications.

Features of the RSX linear actuators include:

forces up to 66,000 lbf (294 kN)
ball and planetary roller screw options
Type III hard coat anodized aluminum housing for durability
compatibility with servo motors and gearboxes up to 290 mm frame sizes.

Expanded Actuator Options Meet Range of Applications

Electric actuator technology continues to advance, expanding its use in various machine types and industries. Higher force capabilities are one of the major areas in which companies like Tolomatic are making these advancements, enabling electric actuators to compete with hydraulic and pneumatic options in some industrial applications.

With the five new sizes added to the company's RSX High-Force actuator line, it is able to provide options with forces ranging from 20,000-66,000 lbf. In addition, Tolomatic has updated its model numbering for the actuators in this line with each number reflecting the devices thrust. As an example, the RSX096 model is now the RSX15 as it provides 15-ton thrust.

Also aiding the actuators' ability to be used in a number of applications is their Type III hard-coat anodized aluminum housing and optional IP67 rating, ensuirng durability in demanding environments.

Per Tolomatic, the RSX High-Force actuators can be used as a replacement of hydraulics in various industrial applications. Doing so can provide performance benefits as well as eliminate the chance of oil leaks often associated with hydraulic systems. The latter can be particular beneficial for sensitive environments such as food and beverage production. For those instances, Tolomatic offers a food grade, white epoxy coating and stainless steel thrust rod option of the RSX actuators.
