IMA55_actuator
The Tolomatic IMA55 actuator features a hollow-core rotor design that allows the nut of the screw to pass inside the rotor, creating a very compact package.



Tolomatic’s (Hamel, MN) new, larger version of its integrated-motor rod-style actuator is capable of delivering up to 3,000 pounds of force with a standard ball screw. The Tolomatic IMA55 actuator features:

  • A hollow-core rotor design that allows the nut of the screw to pass inside the rotor, creating a very compact package.
  • Skewed stator windings that minimize the cogging of the motor and provide more efficient motion with improved force repeatability.
  • A force of up to 3,000 pounds.
  • A top speed of about 12 inches per second. 
  • Available with a choice of motor windings optimized for 230 or 460 VAC in any incremental stroke length from 6 inches to18 inches.
  • A patent-pending lead-screw lubrication system that allows easy relubrication without disassembly.
