HAMEL, MN—NOVEMBER 23, 2005—TOL-O-MATIC has introduced an advancement in rodless cylinders with the B3W Series electric belt drive actuator. In most applications the B3W can be used as a direct drop-in replacement for TOL-O-MATIC’s B3B actuator, allowing users to accelerate larger loads faster, without additional cost. “For the B3W we took the same proven bearing structure of the B3B and made the belt wider for longer strokes at greater speeds,” said Phillip Cinq-Mars, Mechanical Engineer for TOL-O-MATIC. “The B3W gives our customers the benefit of more speed, thrust and acceleration for a cost-effective alternative to auxiliary rail systems.” The B3W is designed for high wear resistance, repeatable accuracy and high load capacities.

It features a patented heavy duty sealed bearing system at both drive and idle pulleys, stainless steel dust band for internal parts protection, and a urethane steel belt. Because of the B3W’s sturdy construction, consistent tracking is maintained for the full life of the actuator. TOL-O-MATIC, Inc. is an ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturer with sales representation throughout the world. TOL-O-MATIC has been designing and building high quality linear motion control products for over 50 years.
