H-Track Electro-Hydraulic Linear Actuators

Meeting the application requirements of both high loads and compact space, Thomson H-Track actuators feature self-contained hydraulic actuation in the space-conscious form factor of an electric actuator. The H-Track is completely sealed, contaminant-free and maintenance-free for the life of the actuator. A marine-grade option uses 316 stainless steel components to improve corrosion resistance, while its sealed motor housing enables underwater operation. The H-Track resists drifting and holds a load stationary without power during load reversals, allowing it to hold position in high-wind environments, and withstand high shock-load applications and bouncing loads.

Overview

VIDEO: Meeting Marine Application Requirements with Thomson Linear Actuators

The Thomson H-Track electro-hydraulic linear actuator has been designed to tackle the demanding requirements of marine applications. Watch this video to learn more.

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. 

H-Track Actuator Feature Highlights:

  • Hydraulic drive delivers up to 4,800 pounds (21,350 N) of force and travel speeds near 4 in. (100 mm) per second.
  • The anodized aluminum alloy housing resists corrosion and provides protection from dirt, dust, humidity and many corrosives.
  • Temperature operating range of -26ºC to +65ºC (-20ºF to +150ºF) standard / -40ºC to +54ºC (-40ºF to +130ºF) and -18ºC to +80ºC (0ºF to +180ºF) available.
  • Standard stroke lengths of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12in. (51, 102, 152, 203, 254, 305mm).
  • IP65 (without marine option) and IP68 dynamic (with marine option), IP65/IP67/IP69K static
  • Rod does not require torsional restraint.

Take your linear motion underwater

The marine-grade option for Thomson H-Track electro-hydraulic actuators uses 316 stainless steel components for improved corrosion resistance and a sealed motor housing that enables underwater operation.

Looking for hydraulic cylinders?

Avoid the messes, complexities, contaminants and maintenance associated with traditional hydraulic cylinders and consider a solution that provides the best of hydraulic cylinders and electric actuators. Our H-Track electro-hydraulic linear actuator is an all-in-one, self-contained system that can tolerate extreme shock loads, prevents leaks and features a higher speed profile.
