Thomson Electrak and Performance Pak Industrial Linear Actuators

Thomson pioneered the development of ball screw actuators for NC machine tools and jet aircraft landing gears, wing flap control, wing sweeps, thrust reversers….all the way to the docking platform and manipulator arm on the space shuttle.

The first generation of general purpose actuators were developed for remote push button control of accessory drives on garden tractors and automated farm equipment.

The Industrial Actuators presented in this catalog represent proven design concepts that you'll find in the entire Electrak and PPA series. From light load E-050s to the high performance Electrak 205, capable of handling loads in excess of 1000 lbs, and 10 times the life of other available actuators.

We have brought together the combined offering of the clevis to clevis mount Electrak series, and the trunnion mount PPA units, to represent the most versatile selection of industrial actuators available. Thomson Industrial Actuators….rugged, reliable remote linear motion control with the push of a button.

Features and Benefits:

Easy Wiring Control leads are safely and easily wired. See specific model descriptions for details.

Compact Design An Electrak actuator with a four inch stroke length can produce 1500* pounds of force from a 12" package. Electrak 1 series actuators fit small areas with package lengths as short as six inches.

Maintenance-free Since all adjustments and lubrication are made during assembly, no maintenance is required or recommended. Consistent, repeatable performance is provided for the entire lifetime of the actuator.

Bidirectional Electrak and PPA actuators can push and pull loads ranging from one pound to 3/4* of a ton, and can extend up to 36 inches. With MCS-2000 series controls, you can create the actuator control system to meet your particular motion control requirements..

Rugged and reliable Electrak actuators incorporate strong, high quality components to assure trouble-free service. Rugged spur gearing, aircraft quality lubricants and high performance motors provide the maximum life and value for the user. Gasketed and sealed throughout for maximum protection. Stainless steel or aluminum extension tubes prevent corrosion. Cover tube stiffeners increase load support. Thermal overload switch protects motors.

Versatile Motors used on Electrak and PPA actuators utilize thermal switches in their windings to shut the actuator off in case of overheating. Reset is automatic after the motor has cooled. A standard overload clutch automatically ratchets if the load is too great or at the end of a stroke. Again, reset is automatic upon load reduction or direction reversal. With their compact size, Electrak actuators can be located in confined areas, yet will move loads from 25 to 1500* pounds. Linear actuators will hold their loads with no power draw. Stroke lengths of 1 to 36 inches are available and speeds are as high as two inches per second.Weatherproofing makes these actuators ideal for use on outdoor equipment. Actuators are easy to apply and easy to install and offer advantages over mechanical and hydraulic systems in many linear motion applications. They are self-contained, rugged, and durable, making them ideal for almost any lift, push, or pull application.

Easy Installation Actuators are quickly and easily mounted by several methods and require only 2 wires for operation.
