Linear Systems

Engineered for the most demanding construction operations, the Thomson Electrak® XD delivers strength (up to 25 kN loads) and controllability for tough tasks. Its rugged design (up to IP69K) ensures reliable performance in harsh conditions.

The Electrak HD provides high force (up to 16 kN loads) and smart controls for critical construction functions. Built tough for harsh outdoor environments, this model offers precision and uptime no matter the season.

Meeting the application requirements of both high loads and compact space, Thomson H-Track actuators feature self-contained hydraulic actuation in the space-conscious form factor of an electric actuator. The H-Track is completely sealed, contaminant-free and maintenance-free for the life of the actuator. This electro-hydraulic linear actuator resists drifting and holds a load stationary without power during load reversals, allowing it to hold position in high-wind environments, and withstand high shock-load applications and bouncing loads.

Perfect for power-dense, space-constrained tasks, the Electrak GX is a diverse and customizable electromechanical solution for smooth, accurate movement to optimize efficiency and operator convenience.
