The ERD is a cost-effective electric linear actuator in rod form, designed as an alternative to pneumatic cylinders and as an option for automating manual processes. Combined with Tolomatic’s ACS stepper motor control/controller, it creates an extremely user-friendly and cost-effective solution for actuator control. The ERD electric cylinder is compatible with many NEMA and metric standard stepper motors and servo motors. The ERD, with 2 different stainless steel options, is the industry’s first all-stainless steel electric actuator family designed for water-cleaning environments.
THE ERD ELECTRIC ACTUATOR OFFERS THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:
- 4 housing sizes
- Choice of ball or Acme screws
- Force/thrust up to 2,500 N
- Stroke lengths configurable up to 600 mm
- Guide/anti-rotation option
- Stepper motor drive/controller and motor solutions
- IP67 option
- All-stainless steel housing with
- protective motor housing
THE ACS – ACTUATOR CONTROL SOLUTION:
The ACS is an extremely user-friendly stepper motor and controller specially developed for use with electric actuators. Simply select the “Tolomatic actuator software” to automatically set the most necessary parameters to create movement in the desired linear units, such as the ERD.
FEATURES AND OPTIONS:
- End point correction
- Zone output based on position
- Force limitation option
- Configurable digital I/O (24 Vdc opto-isolated)
- Compatible with most 24 Vdc stepper motors
- Analog position mode (0-10 Vdc or 4-20 mA)
- RS232 COM and RS485C COM port
- 4, 8, or 16 motion command modes (absolute, incremental, jog) for infinite positioning possibilities
- Ethernet mode offers infinite positioning using EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP protocols
- Dual Ethernet ports with internal switch for daisy chaining
- Adjustable motion profile parameters (speed, acceleration/deceleration, force).
- Ability to reduce holding current for energy savings
