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. 

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.

Jeff Johnson, Thomson Screw Product Engineer, overviews the anatomy of ball screws and their installation. He covers the function of ball screws in application design as well as the components of a ball screw assembly and of a ball nut. Also included is a demonstration of the installation of a ball nut onto a screw and the ball bearing insertion process in the event that some bearings fall out during installation.

How to install a ball nut onto a screw from an arbor.

Here at Thomson, we have customers who are frequently looking to replace worn ball screw assemblies but they don’t know what kind of assembly they have.  I will show you how to identify your existing ball screw assembly…

Jeff Johnson, Thomson Screw Product Engineer, describes which the differences between ball screws and lead screws.

Typically, ball screws are used in industry applications that need a lot of load or life while lead screws are used in smaller, lighter duty applications. Lead screws however are highly customizable with the ability to interchange leads, sizes, nut configurations quickly. Cost is usually not the primary consideration when selecting a screw technology. Watch this video to learn the differences between lead screws and ball screws.

Thomson Engineers show how to apply limit switch tracks to all linear units. If you order your limit switch kit with your linear unit, it will come pre-installed. But if you adjust those sensors or if you order it separately, it is very easy to post-install. Switches can be normally closed or opened and come with a cover strip for protection.
