Electrak HD is a new superior performance linear actuator, recently developed by precision motion specialist Thomson Linear and available in the UK from INMOCO. Based on the proven and popular Electrak electric linear actuator, the HD is designed to offer higher power, longer stroke, on-board controls with optional CAN J1939 bus capabilities and unmatched environmental protection.
These developmental changes each offer significant advantage to users and specifiers including: Onboard electronics eliminate the need for standalone controls in many applications, CAN J1939 interface allows connection to communications networks typically found in agricultural vehicles, mobile plant and other machinery, Higher power (up to 10kN or 2250lbs) opens up new application possibilities, many previously the domain of hydraulic solutions.
The HD is built around a high quality ball screw, the efficiency of which reduces power consumption by up to 20%. This is protected by a hard anodised aluminium cover tube and a stainless steel extension tube. The modular design of the HD allows all control and feedback options to be built into a single compact housing, which improves controllability, saves space and reduces installation time and total cost. Similarly, the CAN J1939 bus option can eliminate individual controls and simplifies OEM machine design.
