A new electric actuator can take on pushing and pulling tasks that previously only hydraulic devices could achieve. The Thomson Electrak XD can handle dynamic loads up to 25,000N, and the actuator offers a large stroke up to 1.2m.

Meeting Market Demand for Environmentally-Friendly Solutions and Prioritizing Ethical Standards for Customers, Employees, and Suppliers.

Direct-drive motion solutions have a performance advantage over conventional mechanical transmission systems but this comes at a premium. However, considering the value of the reduction in the total cost of ownership that can be presented to end users, integrating a direct-drive solution could help OEMs increase their rewards. With fewer components involved, a direct-drive solution can also speed up and simplify machine build.

Celera Motion has launched an inductive linear encoder for accurate and reliable position sensing in harsh environments. Distributed in the UK by INMOCO, Celera’s Lintran linear position transducer is designed for applications where electrical contacts or optical transducers would prove unreliable.

Tolomatic has released a rod-style actuator that provides continuous control capabilities for clean in place (CIP) applications. The new RSH actuator is manufactured from 316 stainless steel and is fully sealed, providing long-life use for hygienic applications including food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and medical processes. Distributed in the UK by INMOCO, the RSH has open motor compatibility for flexible machine integration.

Celera Motion has launched a multiturn variant of its highly durable IncOder absolute encoders supplied to the UK and Ireland by Inmoco. The compact, through-hole encoder design now enables multiturn measurement for rotary-to-linear or geared rotary systems.

Absolute encoders provide surgical robots with positional control in a demanding environment. Requiring performance in dexterity and ergonomic flexibility that enhances human skill, combined with faultless reliability, its crucial to select feedback technology that delivers across these areas. Celera Motion’s latest through-bore inductive angle encoder has been designed specifically for surgical robot applications.

Linear motion control specialist, Tolomatic, has released a new multiaxis actuator system, providing rigidity and accuracy for OEM machine designs. Now Distributed in UK by Inmoco.

A linear actuator is usually needed to move an object in a straight line, from a conveyor to a metal press. While some applications requiring the highest forces and longest strokes might need hydraulic actuation, in the majority of cases, electromechanical actuator technology provides both machine builders and machine users with significant advantages.
