Overview
Standard Precision Linear Actuators
Custom Precision Linear Actuator Options
Optimize your design with a custom precision linear actuator solution.
Often chosen as a clean and efficient alternative to fluid power solutions, precision linear actuators are designed to deliver high performance in applications requiring continuous duty operation. They provide the highest thrust and speed of any electric actuator and allow you to design more compact machinery with maximum throughput.
Why Thomson Precision Linear Actuators?
Thomson precision linear actuators offer the longest stroke lengths in the industry, a simple and reliable RediMount™ system to mount your own motor, and product customization options. These actuators draw energy only on demand and operate more quietly than pneumatics. All precision linear actuators are designed to require a minimum of maintenance. There are no parts that need to be replaced due to wear, and regular lubrication is needed only in applications where the actuator works hard and frequently.
Customization Options
Customization is one of our strengths, and we have built countless one-of-a-kind units. If you need a special stroke, a unique mounting bracket, or some other adaptation of the standard product, our engineers will help you find the perfect solution for your application.Where Can You Get Started?
Thomson provides extensive online resources to help you no matter where you may be in the purchase decision process:
VIDEO: Introducing PC Series Electric Actuators
Explore new technology optimized for pneumatic to electric conversions to reduce energy costs and simplify your machine design. The detailed technical overview in this video illustrates how the new PC Series can deliver improved power density, travel life and side load capabilities not found elsewhere.
Replace Pneumatics with Electric Actuators
Next generation machines and equipment need to be more compact while delivering higher performance and more flexibility. Making the change from pneumatic cylinders to electric actuators can simplify your design and deliver savings at the same time. In this webinar learn why to use PC Series actuators over pneumatic cylinders; key Features and benefits; technical data and performance curves; application examples; and how to select the right product and ordering information.
Presenter: James Marek, Business Unit Director, Linear Systems, Thomson Industries
