Improve controllability and performance in applications requiring long-life actuators

Finding an affordable electric linear actuator with long life, high duty cycle and the ability to work in the harshest environments has been difficult for design engineers. The expansion on the product line and the improved long life of Thomson Electrak LL makes it suitable for applications where before it may have been difficult or impossible to use electric linear actuators due to life expectancy constraints.

In order to make long life and no maintenance the top priorities for Electrak LL, Thomson has developed a higher speed option and a 48-volt option to meet the power requirements in battery powered applications. Furthermore, it provides additional electronic control options including CANopen®, SAE J1939 communications and analog feedback.

The full load duty cycle for Electrak LL is 35%, and up to 100% at reduced load, which is significantly higher than comparable actuators. The combination of higher duty cycle and longer life makes Electrak LL a great option for those who want to gain more control over the position, load and speed of their applications, such as smart railway pantographs and couplers, AGVs, automated farming robots, movable steps, and access lifts for trains and buses.
