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.
