Supporting solutions worldwide

Thomson's comprehensive portfolio of linear motion solutions is widely used in everything from automated storage and retrieval systems, conveyor systems, and lifting equipment to autonomous palletizing robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Smart Electrak actuators ensure precise axis control, including real-time feedback and integrated intelligence, for enhanced performance in demanding and potentially hazardous operating environments. By eliminating the leaks, maintenance, and energy losses associated with hydraulic and pneumatic alternatives, these actuators offer a particularly clean and energy-efficient solution that integrates seamlessly with modern automation systems.

"Material flow automation is evolving rapidly. Therefore, manufacturers today need solutions that keep pace with increasing demands for precision, safety, and connectivity," explains Håkan Persson of Thomson Industries. "Our smart electric actuators offer precisely the intelligence and reliability essential for modern logistics processes. They also offer advanced control options, real-time diagnostics, and high durability even under the most adverse conditions."

The Electrak XD, HD, LL, and MD models are specifically designed to meet the diverse application requirements of material flow. They offer a balanced combination of adjustment force, precision, and smart control. Despite its all-electric design, the Electrak XD delivers adjustment force comparable to hydraulics. This makes it ideal for lifting and automation functions with high loads, while eliminating the maintenance and efficiency losses of hydraulic systems.

The Electrak HD combines high adjustment force with integrated control functions, eliminating the need for external components and making installation particularly easy. Designed for continuous operation, the Electrak LL allows for 100% duty cycle, making it ideal for high-throughput environments. Finally, thanks to its compact yet robust design, the Electrak MD is ideal for systems with limited space that require precise, intelligent motion control.

With integrated connectivity such as CAN bus communication, programmable stroke limits, and continuous force monitoring, Thomson actuators offer cutting-edge control, diagnostics, and safety—key factors in today's highly automated logistics environments. With their flexible adaptability to various material flow applications, they are a valuable addition to warehouse automation, robotic handling, and transport systems of all kinds.
