RSX Extreme High Force Electric Linear Actuators
Replace hydraulics to eliminate messy leaks and increase system performance
The RSX family of extreme high force electric linear actuators are more efficient and offer increased precision compared to hydraulic cylinders. Tolomatic precision ground planetary roller screws are utilized to achieve long life and precision. The RSX platform is designed and tested for long life and reliable performance in demanding conditions including cold weather operation.
RSX extreme high force electric linear actuators offer these features:
- Planetary roller screw driven for long consistent life
- Type III hard coat anodized aluminum housing to withstand demanding environments
- Standard thrust rod anti-rotation feature
- IP67 option to protect against dust and water ingress
- Compatible with servo motors and gearboxes up to 215mm frame sizes
- Food grade, white epoxy coating and stainless steel thrust rod option
- Oil filled options for high speed / high duty cycle applications
RSX128P now available with press capability up to 66,000 lbs.
RSX now available with ball screw option available based on application.
