The newest generation of electric linear actuators feature integrated and affordable position feedback with easy network connectivity.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.

Stroke Length is defined as the distance that the actuator will move a load. Other common words used to describe this are “travel” or “throw.”
Maximum Rated Dynamic Load represents the maximum thrust the actuator is capable of providing in order to move a load.
Speed at Maximum Load defines the travel rate of the actuator when moving the maximum rated load.
The input voltage of the actuator is what provides power to the motor to move the actuator.
The Feedback or Control option dictates what device(s) the actuator will use to provide feedback signals, or what control architecture the actuator will use to provide that feedback throughout its stroke.
Duty Cycle is defined as a percentage of on-time vs. the total time of use (including rest time between movements). Formulaically, it can be defined as Time On divided by Time Off + Time On.
Typically, Thomson actuators are designed for dirty outdoor environments. This may include some rain, dust, with hot and cold temperatures. The best way to condense this information into something applicable for the end user is by giving the product an IP (or ingress protection) rating. This will detail the amount of dirt and water that the actuator can withstand while providing its rated performance.
The maximum ambient temperature at which the actuator will provide its rated performance.
The minimum ambient temperature at which the actuator will provide its rated performance.
Overload Protection defines the type of device used to prevent the actuator from stalling and potentially damaging itself when encountering an overload during movement.
Stroke End Protection defines the type of device used to prevent the actuator from stalling and potentially damaging itself when reaching the end of travel.
A manual override is a direct access to the actuator’s gearing to provide movement of the extension tube without powering the motor.
This defines the mounting interface between the actuator and the structure it is moving or attached to on the extension tube.
This defines the mounting interface between the actuator and the structure it is moving or attached to on the rear housing.
Anti-rotation is defined as a device to prevent rotational movement of the extension tube, which will extend or retract the actuator without gear movement. This is especially useful when utilizing a potentiometer feedback device, which can become disassociated with the stroke of the actuator if the tube is extended by rotating it without powering the gearing.
This defines the general grouping of Thomson Linear Actuator products.
Actuator wiring harnesses have a variety of connectors to interface the motor and feedback devices with a power supply and/or control.
