B3W Actuators
The B3W features a robust integrated and enclosed bearing design for the toughest environments.
Tolomatic’s B3W is a linear belt driven rodless actuator series that has a enclosed carrier support bearing design that provides long life and high load capability. The bearings and belt are protected by a stainless steel dust band that provides a IP44 rating against dust and debris. The B3W is the ideal choice for tough environments, especially those with high amounts of particulate and require long operating life.
