Ideal for Hydraulic Conversion Opportunities Handles Heavy Loads in Harsh Environments Electrak® XD Heavy Duty Smart Electric Linear Actuator Designed for the Toughest Applications

Electrak® XD – The Next Evolution of Electric Actuators Electric linear actuators have come a long way since their origin as basic, slow, medium load pushing-and-pulling devices more than a half century ago. Protection against the elements has greatly improved, integrated controls have added intelligence to their functionality, and life, reliability and performance have all steadily improved. With Electrak XD, electric linear actuators have taken an evolutionary leap as this model has ushered actuation technology into a realm once ruled by hydraulic systems. A Jack of All Trades Electrak XD...

Enhanced Controllability and Diagnostics Standard and optional onboard controls offer a wide range of smart functions: Built to Withstand the Elements Much like our other Electrak actuators, XD offers extensive protection against even the hardest conditions and ingress. • IP69K (static), IP67 (static) and IP66 (dynamic) • Operating temperature from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) • 500 hours salt spray test • E-coat • CE, UKCA, RoHS and REACH (EU) compliant ELECTRAK Low level switching as standard Speed control as standard Force feedback Programmable software end-of-stroke limits Position...

Safe, Clean and Green Hydraulic Conversion Going from a hydraulic to electric solution results in a system using less energy, a smaller footprint and reduced complexity. Electric actuators also eliminate all maintenance, waste, hazards, and other nuisances related to hydraulic oil replacement, and potential leaks and spills. Clean, Energy-Efficient Operation Running the Electrak XD using electricity rather than a hydraulic pump inherently saves a significant amount of energy. Electricity doesn’t require any amount of built-up or reserved pressure and, instead, reacts instantly, helping...

Shock Load Dampening Due to the viscosity of the oil used, hydraulic cylinders inherently have shock load dampening properties. This feature is beneficial as it can reduce the stress on other components in the system. The Electrak XD’s optional shock load dampening feature provides the same benefit and prolongs the life of both the actuator and the entire machine. Manual Brake Release and Override When unexpected circumstances, such as power failures, occur, the Electrak XD allows you to literally take matters into your own hands. With the manual brake release and override option, loads can...

Electrak® XD vs. Hydraulic Systems An Electrak XD electric actuator and a switch will basically replace an entire hydraulic system – cylinder, pipes, valves, pumps and oil reservoirs – saving your machine both space and weight. With onboard controls, the XD is easier to control, allowing you to perform tasks that are difficult to near impossible with a hydraulic system. Go electric to reduce complexity and the overall system footprint while getting: • Smarter actuation • Shock load resistance • Maintenance- and mess-free operation • Reduced energy costs • A greener solution • Manual brake...

Increased Design Freedom By going electric, you eIiminate a large number of components while avoiding the oil, grease and dirt related to hydraulics. This allows a more flexible design process focused on aesthetics, ergonomics and usability. Be Green Converting from hydraulic to electric not only results in a more efficient system but helps keep the world green by: • Reducing energy consumption • Using a cleaner, leakproof system • Eliminating maintenance and oil replacements • Making processes leaner Get clean and green by switching to electric actuators. Controllability & Diagnostics...

Work Smarter, Not Harder There is no doubt that Electrak® XD exhibits extraordinary strength in load handling, but its intelligence is what sets it apart from the competition. Its onboard controls can turn a seemingly complex task or entire application into a simple one. With controls such as speed control, force feedback and CAN bus, you have a full suite of tools to streamline your automation. Onboard controls reduce the overall footprint of the Electrak XD and eliminate much of the guesswork associated with integrating it within an automated network. Instead of spending valuable time...

stroke. Speed adjustment also makes it easier to integrate the Electrak XD into systems featuring synchronized components. Force Feedback The ability to measure the extension tube force in real time opens up a lot of possibilities. Sorting, probing, tension control and weighing are just a few. Position Feedback The absolute type of position feedback device in the Electrak XD gives you the extension tube’s exact position and does not require any homing or reset sequence after powering down. Vehicles and Outdoor Equipment • Remote control and diagnostics • Collect statistics • Real time...

What Makes the Powerful Electrak® XD Tick? A lot of engineering, experience and dedication is the simple answer. Understanding that every tiny detail matters also helps. Following decades of working closely with customers in their factories, laboratories and fields to learn more about their requirements, Thomson engineers can attest that Electrak XD is, without a doubt, the most heavy duty and versatile electric linear actuator we have produced to date. MORE POWER Outstanding power-to-size ratio utilizing state-of-the-art technologies. 1 Brushless DC motor with electromagnetic brake...

SUPERB RELIABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Ready whenever and wherever without ever requiring maintenance or service. 10 8 Stainless steel extension tube and hardware Completely sealed Built and tested according to the toughest standards and specifications 11

Manual Brake Release and Override In situations where a machine component is stuck, breaks or finds itself in an awkward position, the Electrak® XD can be moved manually into a position that allows the user access for maintenance. This manual brake release option disengages the holding brake so that the extension tube can be manually cranked to the desired position. Manual Brake Release The manual brake release lever allows the Electrak XD to travel under the power of applied load and/or gravity. When utilizing the manual brake release, it is important to keep the actuator connected to...
