Well, it might be new for you. But, as the originators of linear actuation technology, we have more than 10,000 successful application solutions under our belts. With this kind of experience, we feel qualified to demonstrate to you how well electric linear actuators perform in applications previously dominated by hydraulics. Linear actuators are often a simpler, superior design solution, always maintenance free and are supported by the most knowledgeable application team in our industry. Read on to learn how clean, powerful, reliable and accurate electric actuation can be the best solution to your next challenge.

The time is now to consider the strong case for conversion

Thomson, the number-one choice for linear actuators in mobile off-highway applications, has the largest range of standard and custom electro-mechanical linear actuators on the market today for dynamic loads up to 9,000 N (2,000 lbf). We’re consistent innovators, too, adding products like the Electrak Pro Series, the next generation in compact linear actuators for the most demanding scenarios. This, combined with decades of application and engineering expertise, makes us uniquely qualified to be your complete resource when you’re considering leaving manual, pneumatic and hydraulic solutions on the shelf. On this site, we’ve included many instances in which electric actuation is a better choice. We’ll help you choose the right linear actuator for the job, and give you the support you need.

So, take a moment to explore a new kind of linear thinking. We’re confident the information you’re about to see will help you build a better machine faster.
