Electric Linear Actuators for Building & Construction Industries

Building & Construction Applications
with Electric Linear Actuators

Building and construction applications for electric linear motion continue to expand. From Autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) that test road/bridge surfaces, to 3D printers for house construction, to automated building material production; electric linear actuators are making a difference in how engineers are designing this equipment. The benefits of clean, continuous, control with electric linear actuators serve building and construction equipment well. No risk of hydraulic leaks for the environment or product being manufactured. Continuous reliable performance is maintained despite hot or cold weather conditions. IP65 options available for wet, dirty environments. Control for precision positioning and motion profiles. Tolomatic’s robust, high duty cycle electric rod style and rodless linear actuator designs are built to order and built to last. All of this matters when it comes to tough applications like:

  • Timber processing: Saw mill, timber planing, lumber fencing, drying kilns
  • Veneer and laminate production
  • Manufacturing door frames, window frames, shutters
  • Construction material inspection and testing
  • 3D printing for construction

Our team of engineering experts stands ready to collaborate with design engineers on their machine design challenges. Reach out to start the conversation, Ask an Engineer.
