Tolomatic ICR linear SmartActuator with reverse-parallel motor

Tolomatic’s ICR linear rod-style SmartActuator is available with a reverse-parallel mounted motor. With the motor mounted on top of the actuator instead of inline, the length of the total package is reduced, giving the actuator greater versatility and performance in industrial motion-control applications.

The reverse-parallel design features a steel-reinforced HTD belt to transfer force from the motor to the actuator and is available in either 1:1 or 2:1 drive ratios to deliver either high speed or high power.

The ICR Basic model provides simple extend-and-retract functionality with the ability to independently adjust extend/retract velocity. The ICR Plus model provides programmability, communication options and other functionality for more complex applications.

The reverse-parallel motor actuator is also available with a rear clevis mount as a mounting option. This allows the actuator to pivot freely on its mounting, replacing existing pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders that are typically used in this mounting configuration.

The actuator ICR operates on either 24 or 48 VDC. Depending on the model, the ICR features extend/retract functionality similar to pneumatic cylinders, a flexible indexer programming environment, optional CANopen and DeviceNet communication to daisy chain up to 127 axes, stand-alone operation, stepper mode and analog position mode.

Depending on screw selection and drive ratios, the ICR is capable of delivering up to 3.2 kN of thrust for speeds up to 12.7 cm per second, or 667 N of thrust at speeds up to 58.4 cm per second. The ICR is stroke-configurable up to 60 cm.
