A Comparison of Tolomatic belt drive actuators MXB-U Electric Belt Drive MXB-P Electric Belt Drive B3W Electric Belt Drive TKB Electric Belt Drive For complete information see www.tolomatic.com or literature number: 8500-4000 3600-4148 3600-4609 • High linear velocity • High acceleration rates • Long stroke lengths • Excellent repeatability • High duty cycles • Low profile • Requires external guidance • High load and bending moment capacities and support • High precision bearings feature smooth, low breakaway motion • Durable profiled rail design uses THK® Caged Ball® technology to reduce friction and extend actuator life • Longer stroke length than screw drive actuators • Lowest profile • Superior rigidity, high moment loads • Straightness and flatness within 0.0002 inches per inch of stroke • Wide stable platform for XY applications • Lowest carrier deflection of any Tolomatic actuator Detailed comparisons of Tolomatic belt drive actuators MXB : TKB : B3W page 2 & 3 MXB : B3W page 4

Comparison of Tolomatic belt drive actuators The MXB electric actuator is exactly what you expect from the industry’s number one rodless supplier. Designed with our exclusive ENDURANCE TECHNOLOGYSM features, the MX delivers superior performance to meet the most demanding applications. The MXB broadens the choices for belt drive actuators providing Tolomatic reliability in applications that were not available before. Nobody knows rodless like Tolomatic, and the MX proves it. maximum speed comparison MXB 150 in/sec TKB 100 in/sec B3W 200 in/sec maximum thrust comparison 2000 400 Use these graphs...

The MXB and the B3W have many similarities, yet each have unique capabilities that suit different applications. Note the actuators that use the same belt and pulley: MXB25 = B3W10 MXB40 = B3W15 This results in the same thrust.
