Where traditional electric linear actuators have provided the most basic machine functionality, the increasing integration of advanced electronics is making today’s actuators safer, smarter and easier to network with agricultural, construction and mobile off-highway equipment.

Mention a Tesla Coil (TC) to many people, and they might guess it has something to do with the pioneering electric car named after Nikola Tesla, a contemporary and rival of Thomas Edison.

Thomson Industries has released an educational video that summarises the benefits of smart actuators, which feature integrated electronics.

Thomson Industries has enhanced its Linear MOTIONEERING product sizing and selection tool for linear motion systems, reducing the time for component selection from hours to typically less than 15 minutes.

Actuators have always been on the frontline of automation, providing the “push and pull” that extends human capabilities. Now, as the industrial world becomes increasingly digitised and connected, a new generation of actuators have emerged with greater intelligence, simplicity and economy.

Thomson Industries has published a new brochure that educates industrial automation users on the emerging role of smart actuators in meeting their demands for greater connectivity, application flexibility and cost efficiency.

Because ball screws are available in both inch and metric dimensions, designers sometimes begin the specification process by selecting a product family based on the unit of measure.

Thomson Industries released its latest set of educational videos on linear actuators. The web videos illustrate step-by-step methods on how to install and control actuators in order to meet various industry demands.
