Thomson Electrak HD linear actuator

Click2Contact

The Thomson Electrak HD linear actuator platform provides robust lifting performance up to 16 kN and has onboard electronics, which eliminates the need for standalone controls. The 48 V device has all of the robustness and performance capability of the standard line but can reduce current draw through the wires by half when compared to 24 VDC and four times less current when compared to 12 VDC. This enables designers to configure applications that can provide maximum power while drawing minimal current. It also reduces space demands for everything in the system, including wiring and transistors.

In a typical configuration, instead of deploying one 48 V battery, the designer might string two 24 V batteries, or a 24 V and two 12 V batteries in series. With the Electrak HD option, they have up to 48 V capacity if needed and can also integrate accessories that might need only low-level power switching.

The device is designed to perform heavy-duty applications and will benefit automation capabilities in automated guided vehicles, forklifts, agricultural equipment, factory automation, and any application with lifting requirements of up to 16 kN and a need to integrate other electronic equipment that requires low current.
