Tolomatic Actuators & Motion Control Solutions

Reliable Linear Motion Starts With the Right Actuator

Tolomatic provides a broad range of linear motion products for industrial automation, including electric linear actuators, integrated servo linear actuators, pneumatic actuators, and power transmission products.

Scott Equipment Company supports customers by helping connect those products to the real machine application. That may include reviewing force, speed, stroke, duty cycle, environment, motor and drive requirements, controls, safety, and installation needs.

Scott Equipment’s Role

Scott Equipment Company helps customers move from an application problem to a practical Tolomatic solution.

We can help review the motion requirement, compare actuator styles, coordinate Tolomatic resources, and support related automation components when the project requires more than a part number.

New Machine Design

Review actuator requirements early so the machine layout, motor selection, controls, mounting, and service access are considered before the design is locked in.

Machine Retrofits

Evaluate existing pneumatic, hydraulic, or mechanical motion systems to determine whether a Tolomatic solution can improve control, reliability, or maintenance access.

Maintenance Improvements

Address recurring cylinder failures, leaks, inconsistent motion, hard-to-source components, or systems that need better feedback and repeatability.

Application Support

Bring application details to Scott Equipment so our team can help narrow the actuator family, identify open questions, and coordinate the next step.

Start With the Complete Motion Requirement

Actuator selection should not begin with only the bore size, stroke length, or physical envelope. A motion axis may look simple on the machine, but the required force, duty cycle, mounting orientation, environment, and control method can change the correct product selection.

Scott Equipment Company can help gather the application information needed to begin a Tolomatic review.

Scott Equipment’s Role

Our team can help review the motion profile, clarify missing details, and determine whether an electric, servo, pneumatic, rod-style, rodless, or hygienic actuator should be considered.

When needed, we can also help coordinate Tolomatic sizing resources and technical support.

Load and Force

Identify the moving load, required thrust, external forces, side loading, and whether the actuator must push, pull, lift, hold, press, or position.

Stroke and Speed

Review total travel distance, move time, acceleration, deceleration, required speed, and whether the application needs one position or many controlled positions.

Duty Cycle and Life

Determine how often the axis cycles, how long it runs each day, and whether the machine requires standard life, extended life, or high-force roller screw performance.

Mounting and Space

Confirm available space, mounting orientation, rod or carriage loading, tooling connections, motor orientation, and whether a rodless design may fit better.

Environment

Consider dust, moisture, washdown, chemicals, temperature, corrosion, contamination, and whether stainless steel or IP-rated designs are needed.

Controls and Feedback

Review the PLC, drive, motor, feedback, network, sensor, and control requirements that must work with the selected actuator.

Tolomatic Motion Products for Industrial Automation

Tolomatic offers multiple product families for different motion requirements. The best choice depends on the machine design, load, speed, control needs, environment, and maintenance goals.

Use the categories below as a starting point, then work with Scott Equipment Company to review the actual application.

Scott Equipment’s Role

We help customers compare actuator styles and product families before moving into detailed sizing.

This helps avoid forcing the wrong product style into an application that would be better served by another Tolomatic option.

Electric Rod-Style Linear Actuators

Rod-style electric actuators are commonly used for high-force pushing, pulling, pressing, lifting, clamping, valve actuation, and cylinder replacement.

Integrated Servo Linear Actuators

Integrated servo actuators combine the motor and actuator into a compact package for precise motion, smaller footprints, and simplified machine design.

Electric Rodless Linear Actuators

Rodless actuators are useful for long stroke, high-speed, space-saving, material-handling, transfer, and multi-axis applications.

Hygienic Stainless Steel Actuators

Hygienic actuator options support food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and washdown equipment where cleanability and corrosion resistance matter.

Pneumatic Linear Actuators

Electric motion is not required for every axis. Tolomatic pneumatic actuators can support simple, fast, cost-effective linear motion where pneumatics still make sense.

Power Transmission Products

Tolomatic power transmission products can support applications involving roller screws, brakes, gearboxes, torque management, and related machine motion needs.

Considering a Hydraulic or Pneumatic Replacement?

Many customers begin reviewing Tolomatic electric actuators because an existing pneumatic or hydraulic system is creating problems. The issue may be leaks, noise, poor control, high energy use, manual adjustment, or recurring maintenance.

A Tolomatic electric actuator may help when the application needs cleaner operation, better positioning, controlled force, feedback, or a repeatable motion profile.

Scott Equipment’s Role

Scott Equipment Company can help compare the current cylinder or actuator with the motion requirement and determine whether electric actuation should be reviewed.

Not every cylinder should be converted. The application decides.

Hydraulic Leaks

Electric actuation can remove hydraulic fluid from suitable motion axes and reduce leak-related cleanup, maintenance, and contamination concerns.

Compressed Air Demand

Pneumatic systems are simple and useful, but electric actuators may help when an axis needs multiple positions, better control, or reduced air demand.

Poor Position Control

Servo-driven electric actuators can support controlled position, speed, acceleration, deceleration, and force where simple extend-and-retract motion is not enough.

Manual Changeovers

Electric motion can help when an axis needs recipe-driven position changes or repeatable motion profiles across different products or processes.

Tools That Help Engineers Size and Specify the Right Actuator

Tolomatic provides useful engineering tools that help customers move from application data toward product selection. These tools can support sizing, CAD review, motor compatibility, drive integration, and documentation.

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

Use the Tools, Then Review the Application

Online tools are helpful, but they work best when the application data is accurate.

Scott Equipment can help confirm whether important details are missing before a product is ordered.

Actuator Sizing Software

Tolomatic sizing tools help evaluate actuator options based on motion requirements such as force, speed, stroke, load, and expected life.
