Linear Actuators from Thomson offer best fits for a variety of general purpose and industrial applications. Designed in compact housings to fit in the most confined areas, these actuators are rugged, durable, and ideal anywhere you want to lift, lower, push, pull, rotate or position a load. They come in a wide range of standard and customizable stroke lengths and are available in both DC and AC models - optionally packaged with a wide selection of controls and accessories. Some of the more common applications include: 

• Off-highway mobiles (agricultural, construction, mining, forestry, road work and railway equipment)
• Turf and garden (lawn mowers, golf carts, tractors, cleaning machines, sky lifts, other utility vehicles)
• Industrial equipment (conveyors, adjustable work tables/platforms, hatch-doors-locks opening/closing)
• Health, fitness, medical equipment (handicap vehicles, wheel chairs, lifting units/beds, gym and therapy equipment)
• Office and home equipment (automatic/garage doors, lifts, gates, satellite dishes)
• Marine boats, ships, and oil rigs (seats, hatches, fire doors, rescue equipment, values, throttles)
• Ventilation value controls, process equipment, and many, many more...

Precision Linear Actuator systems from Thomson are ideally designed for linear positioning applications where strong thrust, high speed, and positioning accuracies are critical.  These high-precision systems have progressed from being a clean and efficient replacement for hydraulic actuators and pneumatic cylinders to a preferred alternative to many types of linear transmission.  Mounting flexibility ranges from rigid, externally-guided and supported loads to pivoting loads. Types of applications include:

• Value Control (process and packaging industry, ventilation equipment, vehicle applications)
• Pressing/Clamping (machine tools, electronics, plastics, metal and wood working applications)
• Edge Guide Control (paper mills, print shop equipment, textile industry)
• Backstop Adjust (wood work industry, machine tools, metal industry)
• Loading/Unloading (handling equipment, packaging, medical, and electronics industry)
• Drilling, Welding, Gluing, or Thermo-forming (plastics, metals, machine tools industries)
