Specifications
The document outlines various specifications such as duty cycle, dynamic load, and input voltage. The duty cycle is defined as the ratio of on-time to the total cycle time, affecting actuator performance based on load and ambient temperature. Dynamic load refers to the load an actuator can move when powered, while input voltage indicates the nominal voltage required for operation.

Technical Features
Key features include dynamic braking, electronic limit switches (ELS), and electronic load monitoring (ELM). Dynamic braking shortens the coasting distance of the actuator, while ELS and ELM provide safety by cutting power during overload or end-of-stroke conditions.

Synchronized Operation of Actuators
To ensure synchronized operation of actuators, precision is crucial to prevent binding effects. Solutions include mechanically linking non-driven actuators or using encoders with controls designed for synchronous operation, provided there is no onboard electronics preventing PWM operation. Electrak HD models with the SYN option have built-in controls for synchronized operation between multiple units of the same type.

Tension and Compression Load
Tension loads stretch the actuator, while compression loads compress it. Most actuators can handle both types of loads equally. For bi-directional loads, consider the end play of the actuator extension tube, especially in positioning tasks.

Leveraging Decades of Design and Application Expertise The history of Thomson actuators goes back to the mid-1960s when American engineers used ball screws to build the first generation of electric linear actuators. These were developed for control of accessory drives on garden tractors and farm equipment. Since that simple beginning, actuators are now used in all types of equipment to automate processes, remove people from dangerous situations, provide remote control, and make difficult, tedious or manual jobs easier. The first electric linear actuators, designed for agricultural equipment,...

Why Choose Electric Linear Actuators? Electric linear actuators are versatile, easy to use and affordable compared to most alternatives. As long as electric power is available, there is likely a suitable electric actuator for the job. The latest generation of actuators, which are smarter, stronger and sturdier, have also created new application possibilities. Where you once had to look for expensive, complex and often custom-built solutions, a standard electric actuator is often now the simple choice. An electric actuator is often the easiest way to move from manual to powered motion since electricity...

Why Convert to Electric Actuators? There are many reasons to switch from a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator solution to an electric one. Better controllability, reduced complexity and a smaller footprint are often the main ones. Less energy consumption, cleaner operation and reduced maintenance are others but often you will also experience additional benefits such as better performance, reduced downtime, and faster assembly and commissioning. Better Controllability An electric motor and a lead/ball screw are much easier to run than a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, since essentially all you need...

Linear Actuators Traditional vs. Smart Systems Traditional System Each actuator is controlled by the host individually. By using control boxes, switches, sensors and position feedback devices, the host controls and keeps track of each actuator. Bus Communication System All actuators speak to the host control over the same bus, and each actuator does what it is commanded to and reports back when done or if something goes wrong. Synchronization System The host control runs one actuator, which becomes the master. The other actuators follow the master as slaves without having to communicate with...
