Electric Linear Actuator Applications
From autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) that test road and bridge surfaces to 3D printers for house construction to automated building material production — electric linear actuators are making a difference in how engineers are designing construction equipment. The benefits of clean, continuous, control with electric linear actuators serve building and construction equipment well for a number of reasons.
- No risk of hydraulic leaks for the environment or product being manufactured
- Continuous reliable performance is maintained despite hot or cold weather conditions
- IP65 options available for wet, dirty environments
- Control for precision positioning and motion profiles
Tolomatic’s robust, high duty cycle electric rod style and rodless linear actuator designs are built to order and built to last. All of this matters when it comes to tough applications like:
- Timber processing: Saw mill, timber planing, lumber fencing, drying kilns
- Veneer and laminate production
- Manufacturing door frames, window frames, shutters
- Construction material inspection and testing
- 3D printing for construction
