(Thomson Industries: Wood Dale, IL) -- Thomson Industries Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of a 48-volt option for its Electrak HD electric actuator.

The added voltage capacity designed into this actuator provides motion control designers with new flexibility in integrating heavy-duty actuators with onboard electronic systems that draw less current.

“Greater controllability is one of the main reasons that motion control system designers have been replacing hydraulic systems with heavy duty electric actuators,” says Travis Gilmer, product line specialist of linear actuators at Thomson. “ And the 48-volt capacity of our Electrak HD family adds even more control. Designers can now more efficiently integrate equipment that draws less current.”
