Linear Actuator Provides 50,000 Pounds of Force
Designed as an alternative to hydraulic cylinders, Tolomatic’s extreme-force electric actuators provide long life and reliable performance in demanding conditions. The RSX128 represents a 60% increase in bidirectional maximum force.

Rated for up to 50,000 pounds of force (lbf) (222.4 kN), the RSX128 extreme-force electric actuator moves Tolomatic (Minneapolis, MN) into a new linear actuator ‘weight class’ by increasing the product line’s bidirectional maximum force by 60%. Other RSX frame sizes include the RSX080 (18,000 lbf/80kN) and RSX096P (40,000 lbf/178 kN).
Electric actuator technology is more precise and efficient without the messy leaks or noisy operation of hydraulic cylinders. Designed for 100% duty cycle, the RSX128’s planetary roller screws are precision-ground by Tolomatic to help ensure long and consistent operating life in challenging environments. Applications include assembly, metal fabrication (pressing, punching, clamping), automotive manufacturing, timber processing, and motion simulators.
For all models, IP65 is standard for protection against dust and water spray. IP67 is optional to minimize water ingress. A modified version designed for volumetric filling and other high-force food-and-beverage applications is available as a custom design with white epoxy coating and stainless-steel components to meet washdown requirements.
The actuators are made with heavy-duty tie-rods and Type III hard-coat anodized aluminum housings. An internal anti-rotate feature prevents the rod from rotating without external guidance.
“Your Motor Here“ (YMH) feature allows for servo motors and gearboxes up to 215 mm frame size. Additional features include an access port for relubrication to maximize service life and a breather/purge port to further prevent ingress into the actuator.
