The above ratings are the maximum values for shock-free, vibration-free operation in a typical industrial environment, which must not be
exceeded even in dynamic operation. Contact Tolomatic for assistance in selecting the most appropriate actuator for your application.
The moment and load capacity of the actuator bearing system is based on an L10 life of 5,000 linear km (2x108 in) of travel. Life of
the actuator will vary for each application depending on the combined loads, motion parameters and operating conditions. The load

actuator rated life. Mx My Mz Fy Fz < With combined loads, LF must not exceed the value 1.

SWITCHES
SPECIFICATIONS
MX products offer a wide range of sensing choices. There are 12 switch
choices: reed, solid state PNP (sourcing) or solid state NPN (sinking); in
normally open or normally closed; with flying leads or quick-disconnect.
Commonly used for end-of-stroke positioning, these switches allow drop-in
installation anywhere along the entire actuator length. The one-piece design includes
the retained fastening hardware. The magnet and magnet hardware are located on
the carrier. See the dimensional drawings on page mxb_23 for details of magnet and
switch locations. Switches and magnets can be installed in the field at any time.
Switches are used to send digital signals to PLC (programmable logic controller), TTL,
CMOS circuit or other controller device. Switches contain reverse polarity protection.
Solid state QD cables are shielded; shield should be terminated at flying lead end.
All switches are CE rated and are RoHS compliant. Switches feature bright red or
RoHS
yellow LED signal indicators; solid state switches also have green LED power indicators.

The process of selecting a belt drive actuator for a given application can be complex. It is highly recommended that
you contact Tolomatic or a Tolomatic distributor for assistance in selecting the best actuator for your application.
