Belt-driven actuators

The MXB-P belt-driven linear actuators from Tolomatic feature a profiled rail guidance system that allows large moment loads, high-speed operation and high precision. With a carriage that employs THK Caged Ball bearings, the MXB-P linear actuator is capable of velocities of up to 3810 mm/s and accelerations of up to 30.48 m/s². MXB-P belt-driven actuators are suitable for multi-axis applications such as test stations, product handling, laser marking, material cutting, adhesive dispensing or applications that require high linear velocities and accelerations, long stroke lengths and high duty cycles.

The MXB-P features a durable polyurethane high-torque drive (HTD) tooth profile drive belt with steel tensile members to resist stretching. Belt tension can be adjusted through an open slot in the guide plate without disassembly of the actuator. The drive shaft assembly incorporates oversized shielded/sealed ball bearings for long life and high speeds.

MXB-P belt-driven actuators are available with optional direct drive that couples the electric motor to the drive shaft through a one-piece aluminium housing constructed for optimum alignment and support. Reduction gear options of 3:1 or 2:1 are available. Drive motors that meet customer specifications can be supplied by Tolomatic, or the drive housing can be customised to fit virtually any motor.

Standard MXB-P belt-driven actuators are available in six models ranging from 16 to 63 mm. Stroke lengths are configurable in any increments up to 5 m, depending on body size.
