Tolomatic Pneumatic Rodless Actuators

Tolomatic has the largest selection of rodless air cylinders and pneumatic actuators.
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:
Band Cylinders and Slides
New Maximum Durability MXP models are designed to outlast every rodless cylinder on the market!
Durable Bands: Strong stainless steel bands will not expand like elastomer (non-metallic) bands, providing reliable sealing over the life of the actuator.
Many model lines are available to meet a broad range of stroke, force, load, and rigidity requirements. Lean More >
Magnetically Coupled Cylinders and Slides
The high breakaway limits of magnetically coupled actuators make these units a good choice when safety is important. They offer no external leakage and are available in stainless-steel for cleanroom applications. Tolomatic has both cylinder and slide style actuators. Learn More >
Cable Cylinders
In 1955, Tolomatic introduced the first cable cylinder to the market and it is still offers several popular and efficient, cost and space saving designs. Tolomatic offers double acting, double purchase, single acting and track cable cylinder models with a wide variety of bore sizes and options. 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.
