Tolomatic announces on-line motor and linear actuator database
Hamel, MN - June 20, 2007 - Tolomatic announces YOUR MOTOR HERE!, an easy-to-use online database that checks in-line motor-to-actuator mounting compatibility and makes the match for customers. Thousands of motor-linear actuator combinations are possible, including the most popular brands of servo and stepper motors used in the industry today.

Many OEMs and users prefer to use a specific brand of motor in their operation. With YOUR MOTOR HERE, Tolomatic offers an efficient way to find compatible linear actuators for a wide variety of motors.

YOUR MOTOR HERE offers these additional features:
  • Online look-up by either motor manufacturer or Tolomatic actuator series
  • Motor mounts and actuators made to order in 5 days or less
  • Custom motor mounts offered at no charge

    From a series of drop down windows, the user can simply select the motor manufacturer of choice, choose the motor series, select the motor model, and a list of matching Tolomatic actuators will be displayed. Once the actuator of choice is selected, verification of the motor and mounting plate dimensions can be made. A furnished reference code for the mounting kit is provided to place an order.

    Links are also provided to Tolomatic’s Sizing and Selection software to verify that the selected actuator is sized correctly. A link to actuator 3D/2D CAD files is also provided.

    The online database currently includes more than 35 different motor manufacturers, including leading brand names such as Allen Bradley, Baldor, Kollmorgen, Oriental, Pacific Scientific, Animatics, and Yaskawa. Over 480 motor model matches are listed for inline motor mounting to all Tolomatic RSA rod screw, GSA guided screw, B3S rodless screw, BCS rodless screw, SLS rodless screw slide and B3SW belt drive actuators. The database is updated frequently as new motors and Tolomatic actuator combinations are requested.

    YOUR MOTOR HERE is the perfect solution for electric linear actuator selection: ease-of-use and 5-day delivery provided at no charge to the user.

    Tolomatic, Inc. is an ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturer with sales representation throughout the world. Tolomatic has been designing and building high quality linear motion products for over 50 years.
