TKS & TKB Electric Rodless Actuators

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document details 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 96 inches and feature dual parallel profiled rails with four recirculating ball linear guides for consistent performance.

Specifications
  • TKS Actuators: Ideal for high precision in flatness, straightness, and accuracy, offering solid and ball nut options, high thrust bearing assembly, superior straightness and flatness, and a low profile design.
  • TKB Actuators: Suitable for high-speed applications with a belt drive system, achieving speeds up to 100 in/sec and thrusts up to 245 lbf, featuring multiple belt technologies and a wide, low-profile design for secure load handling.

Performance Comparison
The document compares screw drive and belt drive actuators, highlighting load capacity, thrust, speed, and stroke length, noting that not all models achieve maximum values simultaneously.

Applications
TKS and TKB actuators are used in various fields such as animation, assembly machinery, automotive, cosmetics, cycle testing, inspection and measurement, laser positioning, machine tools, material handling, medical equipment, packaging, pick and place, precision grinders, product test simulations, semiconductor, stage motion control, table positioning, tension control, test stands, water jet control, and wave generation.

Design Features
  • TKS: Offers inline and reverse-parallel motor orientation, auxiliary carrier for increased load capacity, sealing options with bellows, and internal switches for easy management.
  • TKB: Provides direct and reduction drive options, external bumpers for protection, and a lightweight aluminum design for rigidity and strength.

Technical Specifications
The document includes detailed specifications on bending moments, loads, deflection considerations, and lubrication requirements, emphasizing the importance of proper lubrication for maintaining actuator performance and longevity.

Conclusion
Tolomatic's TKS and TKB actuators are engineered for precision and durability, offering customizable options to meet specific application needs. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, providing reliable performance and extended service life.

TKS & TKB Rodless Actuators TKS & TKB SPECIFICATIONS ACTUATOR SIZING BENDING MOMENTS AND LOADS * Bending moments & load specifications are based on 200,000,000 (5,000 KM) linear inches of carrier travel. Breakaway torque will increase when using the Auxiliary carrier option. When ordering, determine your 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....
