Thomson is the market leader for electric linear actuators utilized in the most required applications, such as construction and agriculture. Thomson-produced electric linear actuators are used in all types of equipment to automate processes, remove people from dangerous situations, provide remote control, and make manual, complex, and tedious jobs easier and more effective. And the reason for choosing electric linear actuators is that they are universal, easy to use, and affordable devices. These are often the easiest way to move from manual to powered motion. It does not matter if electricity is from the grid, a battery, or any other source, as there are actuators for common AC and DC voltages.

 

Advantages of Linear Actuators

  • Smaller, stronger, and more resistant

  • Clean, maintenance-free operation

  • Smart actuation

  • Affordable actuation

 

Why convert to electric actuators?

Sometimes it is necessary to switch from a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator solution to an electric one. Electric linear actuators improve the efficiency, reliability, productivity, controllability, and performance of the working process and reduce the engineering components, installation time, complexity, and overall costs.

This is the common way to run an electric actuator, a pneumatic cylinder, and a hydraulic system. Visually, pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders require more complex, space-demanding solutions that add much more weight to the complete system.
