Product catalog summary
Introduction to ERD: The ERD is an economical electric rod-style actuator designed as an alternative to pneumatic cylinders, suitable for general and manual process automation. It is compatible with Tolomatic’s ACS stepper drive/controller, offering a cost-effective actuator control solution. Notably, it is the first cataloged all stainless-steel electric actuator family for washdown environments.
Specifications: ERD actuators are available in various models with different thrust capacities, speeds, and stroke lengths. They feature solid and ball screw/nut types, with stainless-steel options providing high rigidity and corrosion resistance.
Applications: These actuators are versatile, suitable for aligning, assembly, automotive, conveyors, medical equipment, packaging, and more, especially in environments requiring washdown and corrosion resistance.
Features: Key features include oversized main bearings for durability, engineered resins for smooth operation, and compatibility with NEMA and metric mount motors. Options include various mounting configurations, anti-rotation features, and IP67 protection for certain models.
Actuator Control Solutions (ACS): The ACS is a user-friendly stepper drive and controller for electric actuators, offering multiple move command modes, analog position mode, and ModBus RTU over RS485 for infinite positioning. It supports energy-saving features and is compatible with most 24 Vdc stepper motors.
Performance and Options: ERD actuators offer multiple screw technologies and various motor mounts. The SS2 model provides additional protection with an IP67 rating and a protective motor enclosure. The ACS drive/controller includes dual Ethernet ports and configurable digital I/O for enhanced connectivity and control.
Conclusion: ERD electric rod-style actuators provide a flexible and durable solution for a wide range of industrial applications, with options for customization and integration with existing systems.
