B3S & B3W ELECTRIC RODLESS ACTUATORS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on Tolomatic's B3S and B3W electric rodless actuators, designed for high load and moment capacities in challenging environments. These actuators feature a sealed recirculating ball bearing system, capable of carrying loads up to 3,629 kg (8,000 lbs).
Specifications:
  • B3S Screw-Drive Actuator: Offers thrust up to 12 kN (2,700 lbf) and speeds up to 1.5 m/sec (60 in/sec) with stroke lengths up to 4.5 m (179 inches). It uses solid and ball screw/nut types.
  • B3W Belt-Drive Actuator: Capable of speeds up to 5.1 m/sec (200 in/sec) with stroke lengths up to 5.3 m (207 inches). It features multiple belt technologies for enhanced performance.
Features: Both actuators include options for auxiliary and dual 180° carriers to increase load capacity and moment capabilities. They provide IP44 protection and are designed to prevent contaminants from entering critical areas. Endurance Technology features ensure maximum durability and extended service life.
Applications: Suitable for various industrial applications such as parts transfer, pick & place, stacking, sorting, laser marking, material cutting, adhesive dispensing, and more.
Performance and Load Considerations: Dynamic bending moments and loads are specified for different carrier configurations, with auxiliary and dual 180° carriers offering increased rigidity and load capacity. Deflection considerations are important for applications with substantial moments, and support recommendations are provided to ensure optimal performance.
Ordering and Options: Customizable options include motor orientation, mounting options, and switch styles. Actuators can be built-to-order with specific configurations to meet application requirements.
Switches: The document outlines ten sensing choices for switches, including DC reed, AC reed, and Hall-effect types. Each switch type has specific wiring and operational characteristics, such as operating voltage and current ratings. The importance of correct installation and polarity protection is emphasized.
Performance: Performance graphs illustrate the relationship between temperature, current, and voltage for different switch types. The document advises on the correct orientation of switches and the importance of not exceeding power ratings to avoid sensor damage.
Application Data: A worksheet is provided to compile application requirements, including load, thrust, bending moments, and environmental conditions. This section emphasizes the importance of using Tolomatic's sizing and selection software for accurate actuator selection.
Selection Guidelines: The document advises on choosing the correct actuator size based on thrust, speed, and moment load capacity. It stresses the importance of comparing application loads to maximum load capacities and considering dynamic inertia moments for safety and performance.
Recommendations: For complex applications, contacting Tolomatic or a distributor is recommended for assistance in selecting the best actuator. The document also suggests considering higher capacity bearing styles or larger actuator sizes if load capacities are exceeded.
External Guide System: This document provides a comprehensive guide for selecting and configuring Tolomatic's B3S and B3W series electric actuators. It includes detailed steps for calculating load factors, establishing motion profiles, selecting lead screws, motors, and drives, and determining support and mounting requirements.
Load Factor Calculation: The load factor (LF) must not exceed 1.5. The formula provided accounts for static and dynamic loads. If LF exceeds 1.5, alternative solutions should be considered.
Motion Profile and Acceleration Rate: Users must establish a motion profile using the application stroke length and maximum carrier velocity. The document specifies acceleration and deceleration limits for B3S and B3W models.
Lead Screw Selection (B3S Only): Selection is based on application requirements such as accuracy and life expectancy. Options include Acme screws with solid nuts or ball screws with standard or anti-backlash nuts.
Motor and Drive Selection: Guidance is provided for selecting motors and drives using sizing equations from the Tolomatic Electric Products Catalog.
Tube Support and Mounting Plate Requirements: Instructions are given for selecting the appropriate number of tube supports, T-nuts, or mounting plates based on application load and support distance.
Options and Accessories: Users can choose between metric or inch load mounting and select from various switch types. The document also highlights the availability of Tolomatic's Sizing & Selection Software for further assistance.
Ordering Information: Details on model types, motor mounting options, belt materials, and auxiliary carriers are provided. The document emphasizes the importance of using the Tolomatic Sizing Software to ensure compatibility of selected options.
Additional Resources: The document references additional Tolomatic products and provides contact information for technical support and further inquiries.

DYNAMIC BENDING MOMENTS AND LOADS A The Dual 180° carrier requires its own proprietary tube supports and foot mounts. See dimensional information. Breakaway torque will also increase when using the Auxiliary carrier or the Dual 180° carrier options. When ordering, determine working stroke and enter this value into the configuration string. Overall actuator length will automatically be calculated. Deflection Considerations: In applications where substantial Mx or My moments come into play, deflection of the cylinder tube, carrier and supports must be considered.
