Tolomatic ERD22 hygienic-design electric actuator

The ERD22 electric rod cylinder from Tolomatic is a suitable replacement for pneumatic cylinders and an alternative to manual processes. With force capabilities up to 7 kN, the all-300 series stainless steel ERD22 features hygienic design and an IP69k rating. Suitable for medium-force washdown applications, the cylinder is USDA approved for meat, poultry and dairy applications such as pumping, fluid dispensing, volumetric filling, slicing, cutting and chopping.

In combination with Tolomatic’s ACS actuator control solution, the product creates a complete, single-axis linear motion system. The ACS servo controller and servo driver simplify linear motion with easy set-up and infinite positioning with EtherNet/IP CIP I/O commands. The ACS is ODVA conformant.

The range of electric cylinders is now available in seven body sizes with stroke lengths up to 1 m, speeds up to 1.4 m/s and forces up to 20 kN, depending on the size and screw choice. The product family is available with ball screws, roller screws and acme screws for a variety of force, speed and life options to fit most applications. In addition to food and beverage processing, the electric actuators are suitable for a variety of motion control applications including product changeovers, gating/sorting/diverting, pick-and-place and heat staking/sonic welding.
