MXE Electric Rodless Actuator

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides comprehensive information on MXE screw drive actuators, focusing on linear solutions with solid bearing and profiled rail options. It emphasizes the durability and performance of these actuators, designed for demanding applications.

Comparison
The document compares solid bearing and profiled rail actuators, highlighting their strengths. Solid bearings are suitable for moderate moment capacity, side loads, and guided loads, while profiled rails are ideal for high-speed and high-precision applications due to their high moment capacity.

Solid Bearing Features
Solid bearings feature a large contact area for stress distribution, require no additional lubrication, and are field replaceable, ensuring long service life and compatibility with existing applications.

Profiled Rail Features
Profiled rails utilize recirculating ball bearings to minimize friction and extend actuator life. They offer high load and bending moment capacities with a low profile for precision applications.

Specifications
The document details specifications for various actuator sizes, including maximum bending moments and load capacities, and provides dimensions for both solid bearing and profiled rail options.

Mounting and Motor Options
Actuators can be customized with different motor mounting options, including in-line and reverse-parallel configurations. The "Your Motor Here" feature facilitates easy motor installation.

Additional Features
Both actuator types include features like stainless steel dust bands, internal magnets for sensor installation, and multiple screw technologies for performance customization.

Applications and Selection Guidelines
The document offers guidelines for selecting the appropriate actuator based on application requirements, stressing the importance of not exceeding load factors to ensure actuator longevity.

Conclusion
MXE actuators are designed with endurance technology for maximum durability, offering a range of options for various industrial applications. Tolomatic provides built-to-order solutions with a focus on performance and customer service.
