Tolomatic’s Rod-style SmartActuator with Reverse-parallel Motor

HAMEL, MN – Tolomatic’s ICR linear rod-style SmartActuator is now available with a reverse-parallel mounted motor that delivers up to 720 pounds of force in a more compact package. With the motor mounted on top of the actuator instead of inline, the length of the total package is reduced, giving the product greater versatility and performance in industrial motion-control applications.

The ICR linear rod-style SmartActuator is an all-in-one electric actuator (digital drive, servomotor and actuator) designed for complex industrial motion-control applications requiring 100 percent duty-cycle performance. The ICR Basic model provides simple extend-and-retract functionality with the ability to independently adjust extend/retract velocity. The ICR Plus model provides programmability, communication options and other functionality to meet the most complex industrial applications.

“At half the price of traditional electric servo actuator systems, the SmartActuator ICR Plus can be built to order and ready to ship in five days from factory order,” says Dietrich.

The new reverse-parallel motor SmartActuator is also available with a rear clevis mount as a mounting option. This allows the actuator to pivot freely on its mounting, replacing existing pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders that are typically used in this mounting configuration.

The SmartActuator ICR operates on either 24 VDC or 48 VDC and accepts signals from PLCs, sensors, network communication or an existing motion controller. Depending on the model, the ICR features extend/retract functionality similar to pneumatic cylinders, a flexible indexer programming environment, optional CANopen and DeviceNet communication to daisy chain up to 127 axes, stand-alone operation, stepper mode and analog position mode.

The new SmartActuator with the reverse-parallel motor option incorporates Tolomatic’s Endurance TechnologySM features for long service life with low maintenance. The ICR combines a powerful servomotor with a rugged drive belt and ball screw housed in a sturdy aluminum extrusion. Depending on screw selection and drive ratios, the ICR is capable of delivering up to 720 pounds of thrust for speeds up to 5 inches per second, or 150 pounds of thrust at speeds up to 23 inches per second. The ICR is stroke-configurable up to 24 inches.

For more than 50 years, Tolomatic has been a leading supplier of electric linear actuators, pneumatic actuators and power transmission products for factory automation. Its extensive product line also includes servo-driven high-thrust actuators, servomotors and stepper motors, stepper drives and configured linear-motion systems.

ICR Plus Linear Rod-style SmartActuator

HAMEL, MN – The ICR Plus linear rod-style SmartActuator from Tolomatic is a fully programmable integrated actuator for complex industrial motion-control applications requiring 100 percent duty-cycle performance. The ICR Plus integrates a programmable digital drive, servomotor and actuator in a compact all-in-one package to deliver maximum flexibility for low- to medium-force applications. At half the price of traditional electric systems, the SmartActuator ICR Plus can be built to order and ready to ship in five days from factory order.

Tolomatic’s new rod-style SmartActuator ICR Plus delivers fully programmable motion control in an integrated package.

The SmartActuator ICR Plus model operates on either 24 VDC or 48 VDC and accepts signals from PLCs, sensors or an existing motion controller. The integrated digital drive features a flexible indexer programming environment capable of solving the most complex application challenges. With CANopen and DeviceNet communications capabilities, the ICR Plus can be daisy-chained with up to 127 other units.

Incorporating Tolomatic’s Endurance TechnologySM features for long service life with no maintenance, the ICR Plus combines a powerful servomotor with a rugged ball screw housed in a sturdy aluminum extrusion. Two screws can be selected, providing up to 80 pounds of continuous force (150 pounds peak) for speeds up to 23 inches per second, or up to 200 pounds continuous force (400 pounds peak) for speeds up to 9 inches per second. Maximum stroke length is 24 inches.
