Scott Equipment’s Role

Scott Equipment Company helps customers move from a motion requirement to a practical product direction.

Our team can support product selection, actuator sizing, hydraulic and pneumatic replacement reviews, washdown applications, motor and drive questions, and value-added assembly opportunities.

Electric Motion

Tolomatic electric actuators can support applications that need controlled force, position, speed, repeatability, and cleaner operation than many fluid-power systems.

Pneumatic Motion

Pneumatic actuators still make sense for many simple, fast, and cost-effective machine movements. Scott Equipment can help compare pneumatic and electric options.

Complete Machine Support

A motion axis may also involve sensors, controls, cables, safety devices, brackets, and installation support. Scott Equipment helps connect those pieces.

Start With the Motion Application

Actuator selection should start with the application, not just the part number. A simple push, pull, lift, press, or transfer can become more complex once force, speed, duty cycle, side loading, mounting, washdown exposure, controls, and required life are considered.

Reviewing these details early helps reduce sizing mistakes and makes it easier to select a Tolomatic product that fits the actual machine conditions.

Scott Equipment’s Role

Scott Equipment Company can help gather the information needed to begin sizing and product selection.

That information can then be used with Tolomatic tools and engineering resources when a deeper review is needed.

Load and Force

Identify what must move, how much force is required, and whether the load changes during the machine cycle.

Stroke and Speed

Review travel distance, move time, acceleration, deceleration, and whether the axis needs one stop or multiple positions.

Duty Cycle and Life

Consider how often the actuator cycles and how long the machine is expected to operate before major service is required.

Mounting and Side Load

Review mounting orientation, space, alignment, guidance, and any side load or moment load concerns.

Environment

Identify dust, moisture, washdown, temperature, chemicals, corrosion, and any sanitation requirements around the actuator.

Controls and Integration

Review the motor, drive, feedback, PLC, network, safety, and cabling needs before the actuator is finalized.

Built for Reliable Linear Motion

Tolomatic is a strong choice for applications that require reliable linear motion, repeatable positioning, high force, compact design, or cleaner operation than traditional fluid power systems.

Their product line and engineering resources help customers move from rough application data to a more complete motion-control solution.

Backed by a Team Approach

Your local Scott Equipment Account Manager can help identify the opportunity and coordinate support from our Technical Team and Tolomatic resources.

That team approach helps connect the actuator with the larger machine system.

Broad Actuator Offering

Rod-style, rodless, integrated servo, stainless steel, pneumatic, and power transmission products support a wide range of machine needs.

High-Force Options

Tolomatic actuator options can support demanding force requirements where a standard pneumatic cylinder may not provide enough control.

Washdown Designs

Hygienic stainless steel actuator options support applications where cleanability, moisture, corrosion resistance, and sanitation matter.

Engineering Tools

Sizing software, CAD models, motor mounting support, and drive integration tools help engineers narrow the right solution.

Tolomatic Motion Products for Different Machine Requirements

Tolomatic offers several product categories that support different types of motion applications. The right choice depends on the machine, load, space, environment, controls, and long-term performance goals.

The product summaries below are a starting point. Each application should still be reviewed before final selection.

Scott Equipment’s Role

Scott Equipment Company can help compare actuator styles and narrow the product family before detailed sizing begins.

This helps avoid forcing an application into the wrong actuator format.

Electric Rod-Style Linear Actuators

Rod-style actuators are used when a machine needs controlled linear force in a traditional cylinder-style package.

Typical applications include pressing, lifting, pushing, pulling, clamping, positioning, and cylinder replacement.

Integrated Servo Linear Actuators

Integrated servo actuators combine the actuator and servo motor into a compact package that can help reduce machine footprint.

They are a strong fit for precise positioning, force control, repeatability, and dynamic motion.

Electric Rodless Linear Actuators

Rodless actuators are used when an application needs longer stroke lengths, higher speed, or a more space-saving layout.

They are common in material handling, transfer systems, packaging, and multi-axis motion.

Hygienic Stainless Steel Actuators

Hygienic actuator options support food, beverage, dairy, meat, pharmaceutical, and washdown environments.

They are often used for filling, cutting, slicing, pressing, capping, pumping, and packaging.

Pneumatic Linear Actuators

Electric actuation is not always the answer. Pneumatic motion still makes sense for many simple, fast, and cost-effective movements.

Tolomatic pneumatic options include rodless cylinders, cable cylinders, magnetic cylinders, slides, and thrusters.

Power Transmission Products

Tolomatic power transmission products support torque, braking, and mechanical motion applications.

These products include roller screws, brakes, clutches, and gearboxes for OEM equipment, machine upgrades, and custom automation systems.

When to Consider Electric Actuation

Many customers begin reviewing Tolomatic because an existing pneumatic or hydraulic system is creating problems. Electric actuation may help when the application requires cleaner operation, better motion control, improved repeatability, or reduced fluid-power maintenance.

That does not mean every pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder should be replaced. Some applications still make sense for fluid power. The right answer depends on force, speed, duty cycle, environment, control requirements, and total cost of ownership.

Scott Equipment’s Role

Scott Equipment Company can help review whether a Tolomatic electric actuator is a fit for the current motion requirement.

We can also help compare the actuator with the existing hydraulic or pneumatic system.

Hydraulic Leaks

Electric actuation can remove hydraulic fluid from suitable applications and reduce leak-related maintenance concerns.

Air Leaks

A Tolomatic electric actuator may help reduce compressed air demand in applications that need controlled motion.

Poor Position Control

Electric actuators can provide better control over position, speed, acceleration, deceleration, and force.

Manual Adjustment

Servo-electric motion can support recipes, position changes, and repeatable setups without constant manual adjustment.

Tools That Help With Selection

Tolomatic provides engineering tools that help customers move from application data to product selection. These tools are valuable, but they work best when the application information is accurate.

Scott Equipment can help customers use these resources and review the application before the final product selection is made.

Use the Tools, Then Review the Application

Sizing software and CAD tools are helpful starting points.

The final selection should still account for the complete machine, controls, environment, and installation details.

Actuator Sizing Software

Tolomatic sizing tools help evaluate actuator options based on speed, force, life, and motion requirements.

Your Motor Here

Tolomatic’s motor mounting support helps match common servo and stepper motors to compatible actuator mounting options.

Drive Integration

Drive integration resources help review the actuator, motor, drive, feedback, cables, and controls as one connected system.

CAD Models and Documents

CAD models, manuals, brochures, and technical documents help engineers design the actuator into the machine before ordering.

Where Tolomatic Products Fit

Tolomatic products are used across a wide range of industrial applications. For Scott Equipment customers, the strongest fit is often found where controlled motion, repeatability, force, speed, cleanliness, or reliability matter.

The application may involve a new machine, a retrofit, a production issue, or a replacement for an existing actuator or cylinder.
