Electrak® HD & MD Actuators Tested to Endure the Harshest of Environments and Conditions

Built to Perform, Tested to Last Thomson Electrak HD and MD electric actuators continue to find their way into more and more machine designs thanks in part to their heavy duty construction and unparalleled durability. Their performance capabilities are no accident, however. These actuators have undergone extensive testing during the development process and passed the toughest technical and environmental standards. These measures help ensure customers benefit from: • • • • 100% performance-tested actuators Peace of mind in the actuator’s daily performance Long, trouble-free and safe...

Electrak® HD/MD - Testing Procedures Overview Superior Function Through Superior Testing The Thomson Test Standard is a 40-day test platform that takes the Electrak HD and MD through some of the harshest conditions imaginable. From hot to cold, wet to dusty, heavy vibration to dropped on the floor, we inflict punishment on our design in an effort to match the real-world environment that our units may be forced to withstand. The cost of a test platform of this magnitude can range from $75,000-100,000 at an independent lab. Thomson saves their customers this substantial expense by completing...

Quality Control and Production Testing We validate Electrak HD and MD through an extensive end-of-line test procedure to ensure that each and every actuator produced meets and exceeds your expectations. We also perform a detailed inspection on the components used to build it. Production Test Highlights • Ball screw straightness • Load holding brake test • Surface treatment check • Bolt tightening torque • Final inspection - movement - retract length - stroke Length - no load speed - loaded speed - overload trip point - end play - PCB functions - sound level Superior Protection Ensures...

Electrak® HD/MD - Testing Procedures Overview Guaranteed Performance with No Surprises Electrak HD and MD are designed around consistent and reliable performance. Load, speed, current and duty cycle are among the many specifications that we guarantee will be consistent throughout their entire lives. These parameters are tested to some of the strictest values in the industry. Passed Development Tests Highlights • Random vibration immunity • Operational shock immunity • Handling/drop shock immunity • Life expectancy • Duty cycle • Static maximum load capacity • Dynamic maximum load capacity •...

How Thomson Built a World-Class Linear Actuator 1. Start with the proven, rugged Electrak electric linear actuator. 2. Add state-of-the-art onboard controls, feedback, CAN bus networking protocols and eliminate the need for standalone controls. 3. Boost the power, increase stroke lengths and reduce current draw. 4. Design it all into a more compact envelope with the best environmental protections on the market today. INDUSTRY LEADING ONBOARD CONTROLS The Electrak Modular Control System (EMCS) is the foundation of the best onboard controls available today for electric linear actuators and...
