Electrak LL
Key to the Electrak LL’s long-life architecture is a brushless motor, a high-load ball screw assembly, a brake solution that does not wear, and IP69K (static) and IP66 (dynamic) compliant sealing. This combination enables duty cycles of up to 100 percent, up to 600 km of travel life, and up to one million cycles – more than ten times that of…
Miniature Metric Ball Screws
Thomson miniature metric ball screws accomplish this with a unique multi-liner return system that maximizes the number of circuits and loaded balls in the nut. A miniature metric system with a multi-liner return system, for example, deploys 168 balls in eight circuits to support 7.6 kN of static load, as compared to a single-liner design, which…
Electrak XD
Electrak XD linear actuators are available immediately as a compact, fully integrated unit, including the motor, drive, IP-rated housing, control architecture, diagnostic features and more. The end result is a "plug and play" actuator that saves the designer money and time.
Compact Linear Systems
Thomson compact linear systems are appropriate for applications requiring high-accuracy linear axes in confined spaces, such as 3D printers, microscope stage managers, medical pipetting systems and semiconductor manufacturing. They are available with NEMA motor sizes between 14 and 23; stroke lengths of up to 40 in (1000 mm); and load capacities…
Miniature Lead Screws and Nuts
The miniature lead screw line is available with either standard or anti-backlash lead nuts to optimize positional accuracy, friction and repeatability. The anti-backlash lead nut design reduces friction between the nut and screw threads in order to optimize efficiency while still eliminating play between the lead screw and nut. 
Precision Ball Splines
The line of high-precision ball splines is ideal for high-speed operation in compact spaces such as laboratory automation or semiconductor pick-and-place assembly. They can automate functions that a human might otherwise perform, like opening the cover of a sample jar and pouring it in a test tube. And they are especially cost-effective in…
Online Ball Screw Selection Tool
To find the ideal ball screw for their application, users start by conducting their search through an intuitive, visual-based menu. They enter their application requirements and can narrow down their options to an optimal choice in just a few clicks.  Further enhancements include real-time adjustments with defined filter parameters, and up-front…
High-Load Ball Screws
Thomson Industries Inc. has introduced a ball screw with more than twice the load capacity of a standard ball screw. The redesigned ball screws handle more than double the load capacity or provide 10 times the service life compared to standard ball screws at equivalent performance points – along with Thomson’s characteristic German-engineered…
Upgraded RediMount Option
Thomson Industries Inc. has launched an upgraded RediMount option, a pre-engineered, modular adapter kit for seamlessly installing motors or gears in less than 5 minutes. The improved option is now the default for Thomson linear motion systems and precision linear actuators, and its capabilities are factored into optimal sizing recommendations…
Expanded Line of Stepper Motor Linear Actuators
Thomson Industries Inc. has expanded its line of stepper motor linear actuators with models featuring built-in antirotational guidance. The new motorized lead screw actuator (MLA) product saves designers of high-precision, shorter-stroke applications the cost, time and maintenance worries related to designing and building externally guided systems…
Electrak HD Heavy-Duty Electromechanical Linear Actuators
Thomson Industries Inc. has announced availability of new synchronization capabilities for its Electrak HD heavy-duty electromechanical linear actuators. Designers of equipment in which large or awkward loads must be moved repeatedly and evenly can simultaneously distribute that load using up to four actuators.
WhisperTrak Actuator Line
Thomson Industries Inc. has expanded its WhisperTrak actuator line to give motion system designers greater ability to extend quiet, compact actuation to more demanding applications. New additions to the WhisperTrak linear actuator line double force-handling capability from 2kN to 4kN; provide higher-speed operation at 2kN; and offer new options…
PC Series Electromechanial Linear Actuators with Servomotors
Thomson Industries Inc. offers users of its industry leading PC series precision linear actuators an optional, pre-mounted and pre-tested servomotor. Bundling linear actuators with servomotors simplifies ordering, reduces the need for additional validation after installation, increases reliability, and reduces the total cost of owning and…
Miniature Metric Precision Ball Screws
Thomson Industries Inc. has built upon its selection of miniature metric precision ball screws to include three common interface styles: flanged, threaded and rounded. This comprehensive offering equips customers with even more options when designing small-space applications.
