BAR-SETTING WORLD-CLASS PERFORMANCE Up to 100% Duty Cycle and 600 km of Maintenance-Free Life Electrak® LL Long Life, High Duty Cycle Actuator with Superior Environmental Protection

Electrak® LL – Long Life, High Duty Cycle Linear Actuator Finding an affordable electric linear actuator with long life, high duty cycle and the ability to work in the harshest environments has been difficult for design engineers. With the new Electrak LL, the search is over, and new markets and applications have been opened for electric actuators. Long Maintenance-Free Life In order to make long life and no maintenance the top priorities for Electrak LL, Thomson’s engineering team closely examined every function and component to develop the necessary improvements upon its predecessors. •...

Superior Environmental Protection Electrak LL takes environmental protection to the next level, offering outstanding protection against dirt, chemicals and elements of nature. Replacing Pneumatic or Fluid Power Electrak LL's bevy of capabilities opens up new application opportunities where electric linear actuators can replace pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders. This results in benefits such as: • IP69K (static) and IP66 (static and dynamic) ratings prove Electrak LL can withstand the harshest environments • Capable of operating in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to...

Thrives in Places Where Most Actuators Give Up Electrak® LL was specially designed to ensure long and trouble-free operation in the toughest applications. Even by Thomson standards, Electrak LL stands out in this respect, and it will keep working where most other electric linear actuators bow out. Thomson engineers have labored and scrutinized over the smallest of details to ensure that all Electrak LL parts meets the strictest environmental demands. The result is a heavy duty actuator that can ensure up to 600 km (375 miles) of trouble-free duty in some of the worst conditions imaginable....

Travels Further at a Faster Pace Not only is Electrak LL tough, but it is tenacious as well. With a life of up to 600 km and a duty cycle of up to 100%, these actuators can work longer and at a higher frequency than previous generations of actuators. This makes them ideal in applications where, if you were previously using a traditional electric actuator, you had to settle for shorter life and more maintenance, or turn to a more complex, expensive and bulkier pneumatic or hydraulic system. Higher Duty Cycle The Electrak LL full load duty cycle is 35%, which is 10 – 20% higher than for other...

Ready for the Railway Electrak® LL was designed with the railway market in mind. The standards and safety regulations for railway equipment can be very demanding and require rigorous testing to ensure compliance. Railroad equipment is exposed to some of the toughest conditions. The Electrak LL actuator performs effectively despite harsh weather, heavy vibrations or high-pressure washing, making it ideal for opening and closing gravity bins or controlling a pantograph. Railway Standards The railway industry has its own safety standards and regulations for components and equipment used for...

The Long Life Advantage The long life of Electrak LL enables it to take on applications where before it may have been difficult or impossible to use electric linear actuators due to life expectancy constraints. This advantage is especially true for industrial applications where equipment is often put to work around the clock without any breaks. Typical electric linear actuator applications have traditionally been those for low-frequency setup and adjustment operations since, in many cases, life may have been the limiting factor. Therefore, the only solution has been to upgrade to more...
