Meet Our Smart & Powerful Electric Linear Actuators
The wide range of Thomson smart electric linear actuators is sure to help you meet your design requirements.
From heavy duty models that handle large loads to those with high duty cycles to
others with enhanced controls that provide real-time feedback,
our actuators provide long-life, low-maintenance solutions for even the most demanding applications.

What Makes it Tick?
A lot of engineering, experience and dedication is the simple answer. Understanding that every tiny detail
matters also helps. Following decades of working closely with customers in their factories, laboratories and
fields to learn more about their requirements, Thomson engineers can attest that our newest addition, the
Electrak XD, is, without a doubt, the most heavy duty and versatile electric linear actuator we have produced to
date.
Electric vs. Hydraulic
An electric
actuator and a switch will basically replace an entire hydraulic system – cylinder, pipes, valves, pumps and
oil reservoirs – saving your machine both space and weight. With onboard controls, the XD is easier to
control, allowing you to perform tasks that are difficult to near impossible with a hydraulic system.
Work Smarter, Not Harder
Our smart actuators’ onboard controls can turn a seemingly
complex task or entire application into a simple one. With controls such as speed control, force feedback and
CAN bus, you have a full suite of tools to streamline your automation.

Built to Last
To guarantee that our actuators meet even the most stringent requirements, they are tested and built according
to the Thomson Test Standard. This 40-day test platform puts actuators to the test in the most harsh
environments so that you won’t need to worry about them working in yours. From hot to cold, wet to dusty, heavy
vibration to being dropped on the floor, we inflict many forms of punishment on our actuators in an effort to
match any real-world obstacles that our units may encounter.
