Clean and Simple: The Electrification of Linear Actuator Applications
The trend of using electric linear actuators in machines using motion control is strong and growing. In addition to the benefits of simplicity, cleanliness, safety, space consciousness and cost saving, newer capabilities in controllability, power, shock load dampening and regen have made electrification a no-brainer for designers.
VIDEO: Electrak XD: Ushering in the Next Evolution of Electric Actuators
Meet the Thomson Electrak® XD electric linear actuator. It is strong enough to take on new hydraulic applications while, at the same time, be smarter, smaller and more efficient than competitive technologies. This model represents a new level of load-handling capability, tackling loads up to 25,000 N. Duty cycle up to 100%, strokes up to 1200 mm and speeds up to 75 mm/s highlight its performance. How can the XD revolutionize your next design project?
VIDEO: H-Track Electro-Hydraulic Linear Actuator: Handling Heavy Loads in Tight Spaces
Learn more about the Thomson H-Track electro-hydraulic actuator, which incorporates a patented fluid power design that provides high load capability for extreme duty use, a more compact pin to pin than other actuators of the same load capability, excellent ingress protection and corrosion resistance.
VIDEO: Thomson Smart Actuation: Designing Smart Machines with Smart Tools
What is smart actuation and how can your applications benefit from it? Hakan Persson, the Global Product Line Director for Actuators at Thomson, walks you through the makings of a smart electromechanical actuator, its integrated electronics, where it is best applied and three Thomson actuator families offering these solutions.
VIDEO: Electrak® HD Linear Actuators Boost the Design IQ for Tribine Harvester
Thomson Electrak® HD linear actuators have benefited Tribine Harvester's groundbreaking design. Implemented in the concaves around the rotor and grain bin extensions, these components were selected because of their communication across a CAN bus network, dynamic braking and many other smart features.
Thomson Electrak HD Linear Actuators - Strong. Smart. Sturdy.
Thomson Product Line Specialist, Travis Gilmer, and Electrical Engineer, Chris Jones, walk through the features of the Electrak HD and how it is stronger, smarter and sturdier than any linear actuator Thomson has developed to date. Onboard electronics can eliminate the need for standalone controls, higher power opens a wider range of hydraulic applications to electric conversion, and it meets the most extreme environmental acceptance tests
