Danaher Motion Intros Thomson Electrak Actuators

Danaher Motion (Radford, VA), a strategic business of Danaher Corp. (Washington, DC), introduced its Thomson Electrak™ marine linear actuators, which provide boat and other marine manufacturers with an source of push-pull power on watercraft. The devices offer compact size, broad load capabilities, and 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc operation, drawing power only when the load is being moved for optimum efficiency and battery life.

The Electrak actuators are available with stroke lengths from 2 in to 24 in and load ratings from 25 lbs to 1,500 lbs. They feature ball or acme screw drives for high or moderate load ratings, and hold loads for safety when power is off. Built-in brakes are standard on ball bearing screw models to prevent back driving. They are easy to install with clevis mounting, while eliminating the need for hoses, pumps, filters, regulators and periodic maintenance.
