Tolomatic Electric Rodless Actuators
Both Screw driven and belt driven models are available.
A rodless actuator guides and supports the load throughout the entire stroke length. Since the stroke is contained within the actuator itself, there is a smaller footprint than a rod style. As the stroke length increases, so does the space savings of a rodless actuator.
Rodless Actuators Offered:
MXE & MXB models
With Tolomatic’s ENDURANCE TECHNOLOGY features, the MXE and MXB actuators set a new standard for durability. The MXE and MXB are designed to outlast every rodless electric actuator on the market. Lean More >
B3S/M3S & B3W/M3W models
The B3S/M3S and B3W/M3W actuators are capable of accommodating heavy loads and handling high moment loads with consistent, smooth operation. The B3S/M3S and B3W/M3W are cost-effective alternatives to auxiliary rail systems. Learn More >
TKS/TKB TruTrack™ models
TruTrack™ linear actuators offer straighter, truer linear motion (within 0.0002 inches per inch) than any other Tolomatic linear actuator, and the TruTrack linear rail system delivers the lowest deflection rate of any Tolomatic actuator. Learn More >
BCS/MCS Screw-Drive models
The BCS Series electric cylinder guidance system uses a patented adjustable carrier bracket that transmits the load to the cylinder body instead of the screw for good tracking, superior load support and controlled minimum friction load. The electric cylinder's patented band retention system forms a tight metal-to-metal seal keeping contaminants out. Learn More >
SLS/MLS Screw-Drive models
SLS series screw drives are pre-engineered, load-supporting and fully enclosed slide-style electromechanical actuators. A guidance system of recirculating bearings on ground steel shafts provides consistent carrier tracking and long electromechanical actuator life. Learn More >

Rodless Actuator Benefits
Space Savings:
A typical rod style actuator with a 2-inch body size and an 8-inch stroke has an approximate overall length when the rod is extended of 21.75 inches.
The equivalent 2-inch body size, 8-inch stroke rodless actuator has an overall length of 14.3 inches. Since the stroke is contained within the actuator itself, there is a 34% smaller footprint than a rod style. As the stroke length increases, so does the space savings of a rodless actuator.
Supported Loads:
A rodless actuator guides and supports the load throughout the entire stroke length. Utilizing a variety of different bearing and load carrying design techniques, bending moments are better controlled resulting in long wear without seal or bearing stress.
