Tolomatic ERD Electric Cylinder: A Cost-Effective Alternative to Pneumatic Cylinders

The Tolomatic ERD is an economical rod-style electric cylinder designed to provide flexible, powerful, and cost-effective motion control. Available through Flow Products, the ERD is compatible with many NEMA and metric mount stepper and servo motors, making it a strong option for replacing or upgrading traditional pneumatic cylinder applications.

For manufacturers looking to improve control, reduce compressed-air dependency, and increase repeatability, the ERD electric cylinder offers a practical solution.

Why Choose an Electric Cylinder?

Traditional pneumatic cylinders are widely used, but they may not always offer the level of control, repeatability, or energy efficiency needed in modern automation. Electric cylinders like the Tolomatic ERD can provide controlled motion, flexible positioning, and compatibility with servo or stepper motor systems.

This makes the ERD a good choice for applications where precise control and simplified automation are important.
