About the Electrak® HD
How Thomson Built a World-Class Linear Actuator
Electrak HD Linear Actuator – Strong, Smart, Sturdy
- Start with the proven, rugged electric linear actuator.
- Add state-of-the-art onboard controls, feedback, CAN bus J1939, which eliminates the need for standalone controls!
- Boost the power, increase stroke lengths, and reduce current draw.
- Design it all into a more compact envelope with the best environmental protections on the market today.
The new Electrak Modular Control System (EMCS) is the foundation for the best onboard controls currently available in electric linear actuators and includes, option, built-in SAE J1939 and CANopen CAN bus support.
The feature-rich modular design for all control and feedback options is simple to use and built within one compact housing. It improves controllability, saves space, and reduces installation time and total cost.
-
- Built-in SAE J1939 and CANopen CAN bus option enhances controllability, can eliminate individual controls, which simplifies OEM machine design.
- Electronic trip point calibration ensures consistent overload protection.
- Constant monitoring of critical parameters, including end-of-stroke, voltage, current, and temperature, is standard on all HD actuators.
- Built-in dynamic braking reduces coasting at the end of the stroke, improving repeatability.
- Optional low-level switching and automatic sleep mode reduce footprint, lower costs, and boost circuit isolation.
- Optional end-of-stroke indication output for customer use, such as interlocks.
- Optional user-programmable end-of-stroke limits and signal follower function for enhanced stroke control.
Higher power and longer stroke lengths enable Electrak HD to tackle applications outside the range of other electric linear actuators.
-
- Higher load ranges up to 16 kN (3600 lbs) are ideal for hydraulic to electric conversion applications.
- Stroke lengths up to 1 m (39 in) / 500 mm (20 in) for 16 kN.
- Efficient actuator design, including a high-quality ball screw, reduces current draw by up to 20%.
Unrivaled Environmental Protection
Electrak HD is tested to meet and exceed the toughest OEM mechanical and electronic component acceptance tests in the market today.
-
- IP69K (static), IP67 (static), and IP66 (dynamic) ratings prove Electrak HD can withstand the harshest environments.
- Capable of operating in a wide temperature range from – 40 °C to + 85 °C (- 40 °F to + 185 °F).
- Salt spray tested for 500 hours.
- CE, RoHs, and REACH (EU) compliant.
Electrak® HD – Smarter, Stronger, Longer
In addition to advanced control features, the Electrak HD offers 50% higher load capacity, 60% longer stroke lengths than previous designs, and is faster than the competition at comparable loads. This new, extended envelope of operation also opens a larger range of hydraulic applications to electric conversion.
Electrak HD offers smart design solutions, like built-in cable management, an integrated connector, and a manual override feature on every actuator.
