Robust through any climate (www.industrial-production.de)

Drive technology for harsh, damp and aggressive operating conditions

Corrosion impairs the performance and service life of actuators. Modern electric actuators rely on corrosion-resistant materials, reliable seals and high temperature resistance.

Extreme travel speeds possible

Thomson Industries has added a high speed option to its range of heavy duty ball screws. With a diameter of 50 mm and an exceptionally high lead of 100 mm, the new ball screw supports high travel speeds in applications requiring a dynamic load capacity of up to 202.4 kN.

Thomson actuators support CAN bus standards

Thomson now offers its Electrak HD heavy-duty electric actuators with an interface for the CANopen network protocol.

Finding the right mix

System developers who opt for rodless actuators are faced with a choice. Almost any combination of sliding screw drive, ball screw drive or timing belt with plain, ball bearing or roller guides could lead to the optimum solution.

Electrohydraulic actuators optimize impact resistance

Thomson Industries, manufacturer of linear actuation solutions, has introduced an electro-hydraulic actuator with the displacement force of hydraulic cylinders, without their complex infrastructure and laborious handling of the pressure medium.

Broad portfolio

Thomson Industries, a specialist in mechanical drive solutions, will be exhibiting at SPS together with Altra Industrial Motion Corporation. The focus will be on linear drive components.

Motor assembly in less than five minutes

Thomson, manufacturer of mechanical drive solutions, is launching a revised redimount option: a pre-assembled, modular mounting kit for efficient motor or gearbox assembly in less than five minutes.

A linear drive system in 15 minutes

Thomson has released a revised and enhanced version of its Linear Motioneering sizing and selection tool for linear motion systems.

Hybrid with built-in anti-rotation guide

Thomson has extended its range of stepper motor linear actuators to include models with a built-in guide that prevents the actuator from twisting.

Linear actuators with online tool

Thomson has released a new linear motioneering online tool to help designers dimension and then directly select electric linear actuators.

Mechanics under harsh conditions

Just as electromechanical actuators and other mechanical drive components are becoming increasingly suitable for applications with high loads, their ability to withstand harsh conditions is also increasing. Extreme temperatures, high particle loads, high-pressure cleaning, vibrations and shocks, radiation and electromagnetic interference are among the threats to reliable drives today.

Movement in large machines

Thomson Industries has launched a ball screw that has more than twice the load rating of a standard ball screw.

New load ratings

Thomson Industries has extended the capability of its Electrak HD range of electromechanical linear actuators to loads up to 16 kilonewtons. With this new capability, the actuators are comparable to hydraulic solutions, but are more controllable, compact and easier to maintain. In addition, the extended product range sets new standards in terms of stroke length and running performance for electromechanical actuators.

Ball screw drive with double load rating

Thomson has launched a ball screw that has more than twice the load rating of a standard ball screw.

Hybrid stepper motor

Thomson Industries, manufacturer of mechanical drive solutions, has expanded its range of stepper motor linear actuators to include models with a built-in guide that prevents the actuator from twisting.

Integrated synchronization

Thomson Industries is adding a new synchronization option to the integrated control technology of its Electrak HD electromechanical linear actuators.
