Servo welding actuator has a compact design
The SW Series servo welding actuator is a patented new device that offers compact design, significantly extended service life and zero maintenance.
With MXP, customers can select from six bore sizes, three durable bearing systems, and inch or metric versions to suit the widest variety of applications.
"We designed our MX platform to outlast every actuator on the market - and the latest enhancements in our rodless technology have made MXP the most reliable, rugged and simple-to-use pneumatic actuator in the industry", said Cory Danks, Tolomatic Product Manager.
"MXP has already demonstrated its maximum durability in the field, and its expanded variety of sizes will ensure MXP continues to deliver the widest range of actuator solutions - all built-to-order and shipped by Tolomatic in five days or less".
The MXP's three bearing options are designed to solve a broad number of application requirements.
The internal bearing (N) version is a low cost solution featuring a permanently lubricated internal bearing and low breakaway pressure, making it ideal for applications with limited load and bending moment requirements.
The solid bearing (S) type features increased bending moment capacity with a large carrier mounting pattern for more load security and a large bearing surface contact area, which minimises pressure on bearing surfaces for long service life.
The profiled rail (P) version features the highest load and bending moment capabilities in a low profile design.
This system incorporates high precision, THK Caged Ball bearings with smooth, low breakaway motion, reducing friction for reliable service life.
The MXP additionally offers upgraded reed and solid-state style switches featuring brightly coloured LED signal indicators.
Both switches provide red or yellow LED signal indicators, while solid-state switches feature an additional green LED to signal power activation.
The switches are CE rated and RoHS compliant, and they are flush mounted for drop-in actuator installation.
The MXP also includes internal magnets to support sensors and switches.
