Tolomatics new ERD electric rod-style actuator series
The compact ERD electric rod-style actuators are compatible with many NEMA standard stepper or servomotors for easy, flexible and powerful electric actuator solutions.
HAMEL, Minn. Tolomaticcs new ERD electric rod-style actuators are designed as an economical electric alternative to non-repairable pneumatic cylinders and provide design engineers with a new option for automating manual processes. Sleek and compact, ERD electric rod-style actuators deliver forces up to 75 pounds (334 N) at speeds up to 40 inches per second (1,016 mm/sec). ERD actuators are stroke configurable and ship within five days from order entry at the factory. The products are suitable for a wide variety of applications, including product change-overs, pick-and-place, sorting and diverting, heat-staking and more.
With the growing trend towards use of electric actuators, the new patent pending ERD electric rod-style actuator provides an alternative to pneumatic cylinders with the added benefit of greater control of speed, acceleration and force,, says Aaron Dietrich, electric products manager, Tolomatic. In addition, the ERD is a very affordable option for automating manual processes and is particularly exciting for us in that the line opens up the entry level segment of the market where we have not had catalog products available in the past..
The ERD electric rod-style actuator is available in body sizes that are equivalent to 5/88, 11 and 1.55 bore non-repairable pneumatic cylinders. These three sizes are available in stroke lengths up to 8, 10 and 12 inches, respectively, and forces up to 20, 40 and 75 pounds. The three sizes, from small to large, accept NEMA 11, 17 or 23 frame stepper and servo motors. The acme lead screw is made of high-performance steel and is available in three lead sizes per size to optimize speed or force.
The ERD actuator comes standard with a metric-threaded rod end that makes it compatible with a wide variety of commercially available accessories,, says Dietrich. This makes the conversion from pneumatic to electric even more convenient..
ERD products are round bodied, following the footprint of most pneumatic actuators in this performance class. The rear head of the actuator features an oversized main bearing to accommodate high thrust loads and provide long life. The main tube and thrust tube are made of stainless steel for high rigidity and corrosion resistance, while the metric-threaded nose mount accepts a jam nut that provides convenient mounting for many applications. Mounting options include a rear trunnion mount, foot mounts or a front flange mount.
The ERD actuators can accommodate six different sensing or switching choices: reed, solid state PNP (sourcing) or solid state NPN (sinking), normally open, flying leads or quick-disconnect. The switches are activated by a standard internal magnet located inside the thrust tube. Commonly used for end-of-stroke positioning, these switches allow clamp-on installation anywhere along the actuator tube. All switches are CE rated and are RoHS compliant for environmental compatibility.
For more than 50 years, Tolomatic has been a leading supplier of electric linear actuators, pneumatic actuators and power transmission products for factory automation. Its extensive product line also includes servo-driven high-thrust actuators, servomotors and stepper motors, stepper drives and configured linear-motion systems.
Tolomaticcs electric linear and pneumatic actuators are used in a variety of industries, including the packaging, material handling, medical, food processing, automotive, semiconductor and general automation industries. For more information about the new ERD electric rod-style actuator, contact Tolomatic, 3800 County Road 116, Hamel, MN 55340. Phone: 763-478-8000 or 800-328-2174. Web site: www.tolomatic.com

Fabco-Air's Fabcoat Protective Coatings
FABCO-AIR, Inc. now offers proprietary coatings for their aluminum air cylinder product lines, providing a cost effective alternative to stainless steel. In rigorous life-cycle testing, coated aluminum products were well protected against the effects of harsh environments. For a fraction of the cost of 303 or 304 stainless air cylinders, FABCO can deliver superior, corrosion-resistant aluminum cylinders within 14 to 20 days.
Two Fabco-Air coating approaches are presented here for your consideration.
Fabcoat-12055 General Corrosion Resistance
Pancakee II cylinder with protective finish
Fabcoat-12055 is designed to provide protection against galvanic corrosion that is caused by atmospheric and environmental conditions such as high humidity, acid rain, salt spray and salt air.
Galvanic Corrosion
In basic terms, galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals are in contact or near proximity to each other and are exposed to moisture or even high humidity. The less noble of the two metals will corrode preferentially while the more noble material will remain essentially undamaged. For example, an aluminum cylinder end cap will corrode while the steel fasteners that hold the assembly together do not.
The rate at which galvanic corrosion occurs increases greatly when the moisture contains salt or acid. Think of galvanic corrosion as a battery. The less noble material is the anode, the more noble material is the cathode and the water is the electrolyte. Water containing salt or acid, for example, is more conductive than tap water and is therefore a better electrolyte.
Barrier Protection
Fabcoat-12055 provides a unique barrier film to prevent galvanic corrosion of dissimilar metals. It encapsulates the component to which it is applied and provides a non-conductive surface similar to the jacket on an electrical wire. Because it is chemically bonded to the substrate, it provides a highly durable, watertight shield against the elements.
Appearance
Fabcoat-12055 provides a durable, smooth silver finish that is similar in appearance to natural stainless steel or aluminum.
Performance
500+ hours ASTM B-117 salt spray protection.
Excellent protection against UV light degradation.
Will not blister or lose adhesion when exposed to intermittent or continuous humidity
Provides excellent protection against detergents, solvents, lubricants and fluids
Fabcoat-3277 Caustic and Oxidizer Protection
Unprotected steel, aluminum and even some grades of stainless steel can be damaged by cleaning solutions. Fabcoat-3277 is designed to protect components against the harmful effects of detergents, caustic cleaners, and oxidizers (bleach) that are commonly used in the food service industry.
Failure mechanisms of unprotected metals or common finishes:
Stress Corrosion - Cleaning solutions can cause intergranular oxidation within the microstructure of metals. It may not be obvious to the naked eye. Components can fail when placed under load.
General Corrosion - Protective finishes such as plating or coating can be removed with repeated washing. Once removed, bare components are susceptible to general corrosion.
Removal of Passive Oxide Surface - Aluminum and stainless steel rely on a passive oxide layer on the surface of the component for corrosion protection. Cleaning solutions can penetrate or remove this layer drastically reducing corrosion resistance.
Appearance
Fabcoat-3277 provides a durable silver finish that is similar in appearance to natural stainless steel or aluminum.
Performance
500+ hours ASTM B-117 salt spray protection.
28 Hours 5% sodium chloride immersion with no stress corrosion cracking.
Will not blister or lose adhesion when exposed to intermittent or continuous humidity.
Provides excellent protection against detergents, solvents, lubricants and fluids.
