Designing smart machines starts with smart tools that enhance automation control
12 March 2018
The new generation of Thomson electromechanical linear actuators feature integrated and affordable position feedback, easy network connectivity and enhanced control functions.

Boasting heavy duty performance with dynamic loads of up to 16 kN they have emerged as ideal alternatives in hydraulic applications, and their onboard electronics including flexible control options are reshaping how machine designers approach their work.
Whether it be for factory automation, mobile machines, public transportation or building automation, the technology behind Thomson smart industrial linear actuators makes them an excellent choice for a wide array of tasks.
