Thrives in Places Where Most Actuators Give Up Electrak® LL was specially designed to ensure long and trouble-free operation in the toughest applications. Even by Thomson standards, Electrak LL stands out in this respect, and it will keep working where most other electric linear actuators bow out. Thomson engineers have labored and scrutinized over the smallest of details to ensure that all Electrak LL parts meets the strictest environmental demands. The result is a heavy duty actuator that can ensure up to 600 km (375 miles) of trouble-free duty in some of the worst conditions imaginable. Rated...

Travels Further at a Faster Pace Not only is Electrak LL tough, but it is tenacious as well. With a life of up to 600 km and a duty cycle of up to 100%, these actuators can work longer and at a higher frequency than previous generations of actuators. This makes them ideal in applications where, if you were previously using a traditional electric actuator, you had to settle for shorter life and more maintenance, or turn to a more complex, expensive and bulkier pneumatic or hydraulic system. Higher Duty Cycle The Electrak LL full load duty cycle is 35%, which is 10 – 20% higher than for other comparable...

The Long Life Advantage The long life of Electrak LL enables it to take on applications where before it may have been difficult or impossible to use electric linear actuators due to life expectancy constraints. This advantage is especially true for industrial applications where equipment is often put to work around the clock without any breaks. Typical electric linear actuator applications have traditionally been those for low-frequency setup and adjustment operations since, in many cases, life may have been the limiting factor. Therefore, the only solution has been to upgrade to more expensive...
