Leveraging Decades of Design and Application Expertise
The history of Thomson actuators goes back to the mid-1960s when American
engineers used ball screws to build the first generation of electric linear actuators.
These were developed for control of accessory drives on garden tractors and farm
equipment. Since that simple beginning, actuators are now used in all types of
equipment to automate processes, remove people from dangerous situations,
provide remote control, and make difficult, tedious or manual jobs easier.

Why Choose Electric Linear Actuators?
Electric linear actuators are versatile, easy to use and affordable compared to most
alternatives. As long as electric power is available, there is likely a suitable electric
actuator for the job. The latest generation of actuators, which are smarter, stronger
and sturdier, have also created new application possibilities. Where you once had
to look for expensive, complex and often custom-built solutions, a standard electric
actuator is often now the simple choice.
An electric actuator is often the easiest way to move

from manual to powered motion since electricity is
the easiest and most readily available power source.
It doesn’t matter if electricity is from the grid, a
battery or any other source since there are actuators
for both AC or DC in all the most common voltages.
Plug in and run - it is often as simple as that.
Smaller, Stronger and More Robust

Electric motors, drives and batteries have
experienced huge technological leaps forward over
the past few decades, and the trend of making
electric actuators more powerful and efficient
continues. At the same time, actuators have become
better sealed and more robust, allowing them to be
used in even the toughest environments.
Clean, Maintenance-Free Operation

Electric actuators are inherently clean since there
are no messy compressors, filters, oils or other
mediums involved. Most of them are, in fact,
clean enough to be used in areas sensitive to
contamination out of the box. Thomson electric
actuators are also completely maintenance free -
there is no need to remember to check or replace
anything. Electric actuators don’t carry hidden
ownership costs, sparing you of any unpleasant
surprises throughout their lifetime.
Modern actuators can work in almost any environment
Linear Actuators
Smart Actuation
At Thomson, the most advanced actuators today are
known as “smart.” These models are integrated with
onboard controls, which enable enhanced control
functions that previously required complex external
controls. They feature enhanced controllability and
allow you to monitor performance and
diagnostics to help increase efficiency
and productivity.
Affordable Actuation
Linear actuators are a cost-efficient alternative to
other actuator technologies for many reasons:
• Electric power costs less than hydraulic or
pneumatic power.
Electric actuators only need energy when
moving; at a standstill, they are self
locking and need no
power to keep
the position.
• Cables are less
expensive than tubes and hoses.
• Cables are a lot quicker and easier to install and
commission.
• An electric actuator system is lightweight and
requires little space.
• Less or eliminated maintenance reduces total
cost of ownership.
The “smart“ Electrak Throttle and Electrak® HD actuators
Why Convert to Electric Actuators?
There are many reasons to switch from a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator solution
to an electric one. Better controllability, reduced complexity and a smaller footprint
are often the main ones. Less energy consumption, cleaner operation and reduced
maintenance are others but often you will also experience additional benefits such as
better performance, reduced downtime, and faster assembly and commissioning.
Better Controllability Reduced Costs and Improved Environment

An electric motor and a lead screw are much easier There are many reasons why electric actuators

Smart Actuators
As the industrial world becomes increasingly connected, the designer’s need for
intelligent components that can communicate with each other and operate without
the need for manual interaction is growing. Thomson is meeting this demand and
helping to usher in a new generation of “smart” actuators where a modular onboard
control architecture and the possibility to use bus communication are key features.

Traditional vs. Smart Systems

Traditional System
Each actuator is controlled by the host individually. By using control boxes, switches, sensors and position
feedback devices, the host controls and keeps track of each actuator.
Bus Communication System

All actuators speak to the host control over the same bus, and each actuator does what it is commanded to
and reports back when done or if something goes wrong.
Synchronization System
The host control runs one actuator, which becomes the master. The other actuators follow the master as slaves
without having to communicate with the host control.

irrespective of the unit being in synchronization or override not used black
mode, or simply run individually.
• If one actuator encounters an overload condition, it will trip the not used violet
overload protection and send a signal to each actuator on the not used orange
network to stop. The units can be immediately reversed (unless
they bind up the system), or they can continue in the same not used gray
direction after a power reset.
• If power is lost at any time to any actuator, the actuators still Last slave actuator
powered will continue their last commanded move until told
to stop, either by an individual current overload trip, or a stop
signal sent from the master actuator.
• If communication is lost (i.e. brown/blue wires cut), the slaves
will continue their last commanded move until they reach end of red
stroke or trip current overload. The master will continue its last
commanded move unless commanded to stop with the switching black
leads, reaching end of stroke, or tripping current overload.
• After a large number of mid-stroke movements, the time not used red
difference between each unit receiving a signal to move (master not used white
vs. slave) will add to small variances in when the units start and
stop. Since they are designed to run at the same speed, these brown
small differences amount to a variance of position over time – blue
even when load is applied. To address this concern, Thomson
suggests running the units either to a fully extended or fully F Fuses not used black

* The electrical stroke occurs when the internal limit switches switch off the power to the motor. The installation then must allow the extension tube to coast at least 0.7 mm (0.028 in)
beyond that position before it becomes mechanically blocked to travel any further (distance A1). If there is no mechanical block, the extension tube coasting distance will depend on the load.
No load means the longest coasting distance while the distance becomes shorter as the load becomes higher. The exact coasting distance depends on the load, in which direction the load
acts (push or pull), the mounting orientation of the actuator, and any added friction to the system by guides or other installations, and has to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Important desig notes:
• Ensure that supply voltage to each actuator is within ±1.0 V. not used red
• Uneven loading between the actuators is not recommended, but
the synchronization option can withstand its effects up to a 25% not used white
speed loss. brown
• For units with the synchronization option, the speed at a
given load is 25% lower than for those without. This is true blue
irrespective of the unit being in synchronization or override not used black
mode, or simply run individually.
• If one actuator encounters an overload condition, it will trip the not used violet
overload protection and send a signal to each actuator on the not used orange
network to stop. The units can be immediately reversed (unless
they bind up the system), or they can continue in the same not used gray
direction after a power reset.
• If power is lost at any time to any actuator, the actuators still Last slave actuator
powered will continue their last commanded move until told
to stop, either by an individual current overload trip, or a stop
signal sent from the master actuator.
• If communication is lost (i.e. brown/blue wires cut), the slaves DMHD
will continue their last commanded move until they reach end of red
stroke or trip current overload. The master will continue its last
commanded move unless commanded to stop with the switching black
leads, reaching end of stroke, or tripping current overload.
• After a large number of mid-stroke movements, the time not used red
difference between each unit receiving a signal to move (master not used white
vs. slave) will add to small variances in when the units start and
stop. Since they are designed to run at the same speed, these brown
small differences amount to a variance of position over time – blue
even when load is applied. To address this concern, Thomson
suggests running the units either to a fully extended or fully not used black
retracted position each cycle to re-align the units with each not used violet
other to take out these added variances.
• In order to give the master and slave(s) enough time to not used orange
communicate there must be at least 250 ms between each start not used gray
and stop command.

Leads can be either color or number marked. To be able

to run the actuator, a 10 μF capacitor must be connected
between black (1) and red (2) leads. See page 54 for
ordering of capacitors. Connect black (1) lead to L1 and
white (3) lead to N (neutral) to retract the actuator. Change
L1 from lead black (1) to lead red (2) to extend the actuator.
Ball screw models have an anti-coast brake*, that must be
released during motion, which is done by connecting orange
(4) lead to L1. Acme models do not have any anti-coast
brake.

Life is very complex to calculate and depends on many parameters.
Some of the more important parameters includes load, stroke length,
operation temperature and how often the overload clutch is operated.
