Much like the traditional Skeans Pneumatic Motion Control devices, the following products are amongst our newest offerings in the Electronic Motion Control area.
Actuators
Skeans carries Tolomatic and Bimba electric actuators. The following are some product offerings, please visit the Tolomatic or Bimba website for more details.
Bimba Electric Actuators
OLE Series
The Original Line Electric Rod-type Actuator is designed around the premise of the Bimba Pneumatic Original Line. These tried and true cylinders have been re-engineered for electric application but like the OL products they are designed for the longest life, great durability, highest speed, and great thrust per dollar. Standard actuators mount to a wide variety of steppers and servos. Custom models to suit diverse application requirements. Typically available in three days.
- Thrusts up to 350 pounds
- Speeds up to 20 inches per second
- Strokes up to 18 inches
- Available with and without motor and drivers
Electric Rodless Actuators
MXES, MXEP, MXB, B3S, B3W, TKS, TKB, BCS, and the SLS Series
Tolomatic offers a wide range of electric Rodless actuators including many series and makes to choose from. All Tolomatic electric Rodless actuators are built to your specifications in 5 days or less. With Tolomatic’s sizing and selection software you eliminate the time and hassle of mixing, matching, and integrating various components
Tolomatic Electric Rod-Style Actuators
RSA/RSM Series
The RSA/RSM rod-style screw-drive actuator offers the most complete selection of sizes, options and system components. Designed with high performance, high thrust, dependability and mounting flexibility in mind, the RSA/RSM rod-style screw-drive actuator offers a cost-competitive solution for a multitude of motion control applications
- 6 different body sizes
- Thrust capabilities up to 7000 lbs
- Conforms to both NFPA and ISO industry mounting standards
- 28 different screw selections
- Strokes in any incremental length up to 60 inches
Tolomatic Electric Rod-Style Actuators
ERD Series
The ERD is a low cost rod-style electric actuator designed as an alternate to pneumatic cylinders and an option for automating manual processes. The ERD electric cylinder is compatible with many NEMA and Metric standard stepper and servomotors to create a low cost, electric actuator solution
- 3 body sizes
- Force/thrust capabilities up to 200 lbs
- Guide/Anti-rotate option
- IP67 option
- Ball or Acme screw choices
- Stroke lengths configurable up to 12”
- Stepper Drive/Controller & Motor solutions
- All Stainless Steel body construction
Tolomatic Electric Rod-Style Actuators
ICR Series
The ICR Series Smart Actuator is a controller; drive and servomotor integrated into one compact, durable, electric linear actuator. The result is a reliable, affordable power that is remarkably easy-to-use. Reverse-parallel motor orientation is now available for this series. The ICR rod-style electric Smart Actuator Series comes in two motion control packages: The ICR Basic for simple extend and retract operation and the ICR Plus with indexer programming and network communication capabilities
- 100% duty cycle for continuous operation
- Two ball screw selections
- 24 Vdc opto-isolated inputs, NPN or PNP
- IP65 option for protection against water and dust ingress
Servo/Stepper - Motors/Drives
Applied Motion Products Servo & Stepper Drivers & Motors
Applied Motion Products offers a variety of AC & DC Stepper & Servo Drives including control codes of Step & Direction, Velocity (Oscillator), Streaming Commands, Analog Positioning, Encoder Following, Si programming, Q programming, CANopen, and SiNet Hub Compatible. They also offer a wide range of Servo & Stepper Motors with frame sizes including 40mm, 60mm, 80mm, NEMA 8, NEMA 11, NEMA 14, NEMA 17, NEMA 23, NEMA 24, and NEMA 34.
Electro Pneumatic Positioners
Bimba Electro Pneumatic Positioner
Bimba's Position Feedback Products are ideal for applications that require accurate measuring or closed loop positioning. They enable machines to adapt to changes on the fly, automate setup, and speed up and simplify process changes. Position Feedback Cylinders are available in reciprocating or rotary models. They may be used with our PCS control for closed loop positioning, our DPM for precise measuring, or our electronic controller
Skeans Pneumatic LPS (Linear Positioning System)
LPS Series
Our own Skeans' Pneumatic Linear Positioning System is designed for use in resource industries that require linear positioning technology, but may not require the accuracy achieved by a costly and complex motion control system. Our system uses the Nopak SG heavy-duty air cylinder construction. The cylinder is available in a variety of styles and bores, with accuracies of 0.05" or better to support numerous industry protocols. It integrates FC-2 Electronics Module and employs Fuzzy Logic to interpret both the feedback from the cylinder and the user's desired cylinder position to control standard MAC valves which are used to position the cylinder If you want to learn how Skeans could help meet your linear positioning system design needs please call Skeans today.
