Replacing hydraulics with electric actuators has always come with a trade-off: cleaner operation, but less raw force. Tolomatic’s latest product pushes that boundary considerably.
The RSX50 electric linear actuator delivers 50 tons — 66,000 pounds — of force in a housing only marginally larger than its 25-ton predecessor. For metalforming, injection molding, and timber processing operations still running hydraulic systems, the size-to-force ratio changes the conversation.
Operationally, the benefits of going electric here are tangible. No hydraulic fluid means no leak risk, no spill cleanup, and one less environmental compliance headache. Energy consumption drops. Maintenance intervals extend. For facilities without climate control, performance consistency across wide temperature ranges is another practical advantage.
The RSX50 slots into pressing, punching, and stamping applications where precise, repeatable force control is non-negotiable ,exactly the use cases where hydraulic variability has historically caused problems.
Tolomatic has effectively extended the boundary of where electric linear motion is a credible replacement for hydraulics rather than a compromise.
