How to Choose a Unit<br />
Thomson offer a wide range of linear units, each designed for a<br />
specific purpose and with its own unique features. You’ll find sizing<br />
and selection tools on our website to help you specify the unit<br />
you need, and our application engineers will be happy to help<br />
you with further technical advice.<br />
The diagrams shown here give you a brief overview of the key<br />
strengths of each group.<br />
