TKS & TKB ACTUATORS

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides comprehensive information on Tolomatic's TKS and TKB electric rodless actuators, designed for high precision and moderate load applications. These actuators are customizable with stroke lengths up to 2.4 meters and feature dual parallel profiled rails with four recirculating ball linear guides for consistent performance.
Specifications:
  • TKS Actuators: Ideal for applications requiring high precision in flatness, straightness, and accuracy. Options include solid and ball nuts, with features like anti-backlash and low-backlash for enhanced performance.
  • TKB Actuators: Suitable for high-speed applications, featuring a belt drive system with speeds up to 2.5 m/sec and thrusts up to 1.1 kN.
Comparison of Drive Types:
  • Screw Drive Actuators: Offer superior rigidity and high moment load capacities, with thrusts up to 19.1 kN and speeds up to 1.5 m/sec.
  • Belt Drive Actuators: Provide high-speed capabilities with speeds up to 5.1 m/sec and require external guidance for basic thrust.
Applications: These actuators are versatile, suitable for industries like automotive, medical equipment, packaging, and semiconductor. They are used for tasks such as laser positioning, material handling, and precision grinding.
Features:
  • Both actuators have a low-profile design for multiple mounting options and include integral sensors for end-of-travel and home positioning.
  • Options for auxiliary carriers to double load capacity and increase bending moment capacities.
  • Sealing options like bellows for protection in dirty environments.
Performance and Durability: Designed with endurance technology for maximum durability and extended service life, featuring internal switches, removable covers, and a lightweight aluminum design for ease of use and maintenance.
Technical Specifications: Includes maximum bending moments, dynamic and static loads, and deflection considerations. Guidelines for actuator sizing and lubrication recommendations are provided to ensure optimal performance.
Screw Types and Descriptions: Different screw types are outlined, including Solid Nut and Ball Nut, with ball screws offering higher thrust capacities and reliability.
Thrust and Velocity Limitations: Emphasizes adhering to thrust and velocity limitations to prevent heat buildup and ensure optimal performance.
Actuator Sizing and Selection: Guidelines for selecting the appropriate actuator size based on application requirements, with an online tool for fast and accurate selection.
Dimensions and Mounting: Detailed dimensions for different actuator models and instructions for motor mounting, highlighting the need for motor adapter plates for certain motor frames.
Brake Options: Information on double C-face brake options for static holding, including specifications for different motor frames and maximum brake holding loads.
Specifications and Procedures: Detailed guidelines for selecting and configuring Tolomatic actuators, including both screw-driven and belt-driven models. Emphasizes calculating application loads and bending moments, with formulas for determining the load factor (LF) to ensure it does not exceed 1.5.
Selection Guidelines:
  1. Choose Actuator Size: Select an actuator with the necessary thrust, speed, and moment load capacity.
  2. Compare Load to Maximum Load Capacities: Evaluate the application load and bending moments, considering dynamic inertia moments.
  3. Calculate Load Factor (LF): Ensure LF does not exceed 1.5, and consider higher capacity options if necessary.
  4. Establish Motion Profile: Determine acceleration rates and select the appropriate actuator type.
  5. Select the Lead Screw: Choose based on accuracy, backlash, and operational requirements.
  6. Select Motor and Drive: Use sizing equations to determine thrust and torque requirements.
  7. Determine Mounting Plate Requirements: Consult support recommendations and select necessary mounting plates.
  8. Consider Options: Includes bellows for protection, low dust grease, brakes, and switches.
Ordering and Configuration: Detailed instructions for ordering and configuring actuators, including options for motor mounting, switches, stroke length, and auxiliary carriers. Highlights the use of Tolomatic Sizing Software for determining compatible options and accessories.
Additional Information: Includes contact information for Tolomatic's offices in the USA, Europe, and China, emphasizing the company's commitment to fast delivery, innovative products, and technical support. Mentions the availability of CAD files and online resources for actuator sizing and motor matching.
