VIDEO: Electrak HD Linear Actuators Keep Spika Work Platforms in Sync
The synchronization option, available with Thomson Electrak HD linear actuators, enables Spika Design and Manufacturing to offer their customers work platforms with improved performance, functionality and safety.
VIDEO: Synchronization: Adding Even More Control and Power to Thomson Smart Linear Actuators
Add Even More Control and Power with the Synchronization Option. Electrak HD’s control features undergo thorough testing at Thomson to ensure your machines are prepared for countless application challenges – both expected and unexpected.
Thomson Product Line Specialist, Travis Gilmer, walks you through the benefits and applications of the synchronization feature, which is available with many Thomson smart linear actuators. Synchronization allows two or more actuators to share and evenly distribute a load.
VIDEO: Thomson Smart Actuators: Designing Smart Machines with Smart Tools
What is smart actuation and how can your applications benefit from it? Håkan Persson, the Global Product Line Director for Actuators at Thomson, walks you through the makings of a smart electric actuator, its integrated electronics, where it is best applied and three Thomson actuator families offering these solutions.
VIDEO: How To Customize A Base Model Electric Linear Actuator
Often the ideal design solution is not about finding the fastest, sturdiest, most accurate or even the least expensive option. Rather, the ideal solution is the optimal balance of performance, life and cost...
VIDEO: How To Increase Rigidity in a Linear Actuator
Electric Linear Actuators are designed to handle loads axially. One of the common failures of Linear Actuators is side-loading - a force perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The longer the stroke, the more susceptible the actuator is to binding or a bent screw...
VIDEO: IP Ratings for Linear Actuators
Electric Linear Actuators are often subjected to very nasty environments. Whether it is dust, dirt, sand, or water, you need to have confidence that it will hold up to the intended environment. The IEC published their standard 60529, also known as the international protection code or IP code...
VIDEO: Synchronizing Multiple WhisperTrak Actuators
The Thomson WhisperTrak actuators can be ordered with a digital feedback option that allows for synchronization of two or four units. In order to accomplish this, you will need a Thomson control and WhisperTrak with digital feedback options - this is a quaduature signal...
VIDEO: Electric Actuation for Grain Handling Equipment
Grain bins, auger carts and seed tenders have many hydraulic and manual operations that can benefit from simple, clean and maintenance free electric actuators.See the difference between hydraulics and electric actuators for the folding of the auger, pivoting of the spout, and opening of hatches.
VIDEO: Hydraulic to Electric: Industrial Actuators
Al Wroblaski, Thomson Linear Actuator Product Line Manager, demonstrates the advantages of Industrial Linear Actuators over hydraulic systems. He discusses issues such as contamination, temperature, safety, economy, maintenance, integration and system size. Also included is a demonstration of application data acquisition techniques and their use in optimizing customer applications.
