uSTRUDY - Made to endure the toughest conditions

uSMART - State-of-the-art onboard controls

NEW THOMSON Electrak® MD >> Compact Model with Advanced Controllability, Outstanding Power Density and Reliable Environmental Resistance

Designed as a smaller sibling to the popular Electrak® HD actuator, new Electrak® MD smart electric linear actuators pack a big punch relative to their compact size and dutifully perform in the harshest environments without the need for service or maintenance.

>> PLC Controllability.  Onboard controls open the door to a wide range of possibilities, including CAN bus options and low-level switching with or without position feedback.

>> Bar-Setting Reliability.  25+% longer life (on fully loaded 1 kN, 300 mm model) than competitive models.

>> Enviable Strength.  10+% higher power density (on the 1 kN model) than the competition.

 

The new Electrak® MD also comes with onboard intelligence, which enhances the overall performance and eliminates space consumption by keeping any external equipment like encoders and switches within the actuator housing.

In addition to the above benefits, the Electrak® MD also features extensive automation and maintenance enablers such as feedback on position, J1939 CAN bus communication, low-current switching (PLC compatibility), and end-of-stroke indication output.

Despite the Electrak® MD’s housing being shorter than a pencil, the actuator features class-leading power density. It can handle loads up to 2000 N (450 lbs), making it an ideal option to replace both hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders in many applications.

Electrak® MD is designed for tough applications. Mud, dirt, dust, water and snow are no problem. This is guaranteed by way of the rigorous testing set out in the Thomson Test Standard, which is based on many years of conducting business with customers carrying the toughest application demands.

Electrak® MD Feature Highlights:
