Linear ActuatorsIntroductionProduct IntroductionThomson actuators are easy to mount and operate, require no maintenance,don’t leak hydraulic fluid, are easy to incorporate into an automated processand once installed they will work reliably under the toughest conditions yearafter year.Actuators offer advantages over mechanical and hydraulicsystems in many applications. They are self-contained,rugged, and durable, making them ideal anywhere youwant to lift, lower, push, pull, rotate or position a load.Compact designWith their compact size, actuators can be located inconfined areas. An actuator with a 4 inch stroke lengthcan produce 1500 pounds of force from a 12 inch package.Electrak 1 and 050 series actuators fit small areas withpackage lengths as short as 6 inches.Rugged and reliableAll Thomson actuators incorporate strong, high qualitycomponents to assure trouble-free service. Rugged spur,worm or helical gearing, aircraft quality lubricants and highperformance motors provide the maximum life and value.The actuators are gasketed and sealed throughout forprotection in wet, dirty and oily environments and are idealfor use on outdoor equipment. The rod style actuatorshave stainless steel or aluminum extension tubes to resistcorrosion.Maintenance-freeAll adjustments and lubrication are made at the factoryand no maintenance is required or recommended.Consistent, repeatable performance is provided for theentire lifetime of the actuator.BidirectionalThomson actuators can push and pull loads ranging fromone pound to 3/4 ton, and can extend up to 36 inches. Withthe Thomson series of actuator controls, you can createan actuator control system to meet your particular motioncontrol requirements.Safe operationMotors used on Electrak actuators utilize thermal switchesin their windings or Electronic Load Monitoring to shut theactuator off in case of overheating. A standard overloadclutch or Electronic Load Monitoring will stop the motionif the load is too great or at the end of a stroke. All linearactuators will hold their loads with power removed.VersatileStroke lengths of 1 to 36 inches are available and speedsare as high as two inches per second. Actuators areeasy to apply, quick to install and usually only requiringtwo wires for operation. A wide variety of options andcontrols makes it easy to find the perfect actuator for yourapplication. And if you have special needs, cost effectivecustom solutions are our speciality.1992 1994 1998 1999 2000 2004 2006A patent for aload lock deviceis granted.Electrak 1LL isreleased.Electrak 150 withtwo patents isreleased.

IntroductionThe Benefits of ElectrificationElectrification is converting manual, hydraulic and pneumatic operations toelectromechanical motion. Substantially improved machine performanceand cost advantages can be gained through electrification.Reduce costs• Electric actuation components cost less thancomparable hydraulic and pneumatic systems.• One electric linear actuator is faster and easierto install than the multiple hydraulic and pneumaticcomponents required to achieve the same function.• Electric actuators feature quick and predictable systemtuning when compared to the headaches of configuringhydraulic systems and their components which contendwith power variation, temperature variation, and nonlinearperformance profiles.• Compare zero maintenance electric actuators againstthe fluid replacement, leak repairs and other routinemaintenance needed to support hydraulic systems.• Eliminate the environmental problems and costsassociated with hydraulic fluid leaks and fluid disposal.Boost productivity and efficiency• Improve control over critical machine operations with:- Multiple digital and analog feedback options- Fixed and programmable limit switches for “teach andrepeat” positions- Low voltage switching options that can interfacedirectly with programmable PC/PLC controllers- Pulse width modulation for variable speed control• Superior accuracy and repeatability• Link and automate simultaneous processes• Reduce down time with:- Zero maintenance- Longer component life- Redundancy through manual override• Improve safety and reduce costs by removing peoplefrom danger with convenient remote controlGreat opportunities for electric conversion.Making jobs easier• Raising and lowering a deck on a mower, paver or floor scrubber.• Shifting manual transmission.• Lifting wheelchairs into a vehicle.• Opening and closing doors on buses or vans.Automating a process• Moving twine across a round bale of hay for consistent wrap.• Varying the chute opening on a salt/sand spreader based on speedfor consistent application.• Lift and lower pantographs on electrical trains and trams.Providing remote control• Throttle control from the rear of garbage trucks.• Positioning the discharge spout on a large chipper, snowblower orcombine.• Opening a chute on a salt/sand spreader.• Positioning of solar energy panels and wind power plant turbines.• Opening/closing the engine hatch on boats.• Positioning boat, handicap vehicle seats.• Belt tensioning.Removing people from danger• Sliding a cover over the stairs in a recreational vehicle.• Throttle control for a tree stump grinder to keep the operator awayfrom moving parts or flying debris.• Medical waste/refuse compacting.Replacing hydraulics or pneumatics• Power steering.• Dump beds on ATVs.• Positioning mower decks on golf course equipment.6 www.thomsonlinear.com

Hydraulic cylinder2. Electric pump motor3. Hydraulic pump4. Hydraulic oil resevoir5. Check valve6. Operator push button box7. Relay cabinet8. Unloading valve7You can design, purchase and install all these componentsor you can select and install an actuator and switch.Plug and play type of connections, simple installation andno need for any set up or adjustments ensures accurate,clean and trouble free operation within the hour.182This single acting, uni-directional hydraulic cylinder systemis one of the simplest hydraulic solutions. This system onlyallows consistent performance in one direction. In orderto get consistent performance in both directions a bidirectionalsystem would be required which is even morecomplex and costly.Electric linear actuator system1. Linear actuator2. DPDT switchThis simple electrical actuator system will ensureconsistent operation in both directions. It will also giveyou added features such as electronic load monitoring,end of stroke limit switches, mid stroke protection andmanual override operation in case of power failure.Optional features such as analog or digital positionfeedback, adjustable end of stroke limit switches, end ofstroke indication outputs and signal following capabilityare also available. Another advantage is that a systemlike this is easy to integrate with other control systemsnormally found in industrial systems or vehicles such asPLC’s, micro-controllers, computers or simple relay basedsystems.www.thomsonlinear.com7

When the anti-rotation option is being used, thefront adapter cross hole can’t be freely rotated. Instead the front cross hole mustbe ordered in standard postion (shown in the drawing) or rotated 90°.2Control options with linear potentiometer (options “L”, “P”, “R” and “K”)requires an aluminum cover tube. Also the anti-rotation option requires analuminum cover tube. Anti-rotation is required for ball screw units with aboveoptions, but optional for acme screw units. Note that a programming unit isneccessary for the programmable limit switch option, see page 48.3IP67 requires the mating connector be installed and the factory sealing,including the manual override cover, must not be compromised.4Consult customer support for longer stroke lengths.5Consult customer support for encoder output data.6Electrak Pro requires, besides the correct input voltage, at least a 600 W powersupply or an automotive/marine battery to function properly.7Contact customer support for CE compliant models.8For more information about the different options, contact customer support ordownload the installation manual at www.danahermotion.com/electrakpro.* Dynamic braking when ELM is tripped, or with the following options: signalfollowimg, programmable limits, low level switching.26 www.thomsonlinear.com

Linear ActuatorsGlossaryA – DuAcme ScrewAcme screws withstand vibration and shock better than ballor worm screws and are used for applications with thesecharacteristics. Also see “lead screw”.Actuator HousingThe actuator housing provides environmental protection for theinternal components and may also be a structural member of theactuator.AdaptersThe front and rear adapters are the connection points for mountingmost Thomson actuators. The front adapter is usually a cross holebut optionally may be a tapped hole, threaded rod, or universal rodend. The rear adapter may be cast into the actuator housing orheld in place with a nut.Adjustable End of Stroke Limit SwitchesThe adjustable end of stroke limit switches may be moved topositions inside the full stroke of the actuator and will shut off theactuator when it reaches the limit switch. Also see “end of strokelimit switches”.Anti Coast Brake/Electrical BrakeDepending on the load, AC ball screw actuators may coast to astop when power is removed. This overrun is eliminated by ananti coast brake or an electrical brake. The anti coast brake (pawltype) will allow up to one revolution of the motor after power isremoved. They are used on the Electrak 5 and PPA-AC with anticoast brake. An electrical brake (electrically released) operatesmuch faster after power is removed and allow less coast than thepawl type. Electrak 205 and the PPA-AC with electrical brake usethis type of brake. Also see “brake”.Anti Rotation MechanismA feature available on some actuators that resolves the restrainingtorque within the actuator. The extension tube will not rotate onactuators with this feature.Ball ScrewBall screws are highly efficient and are used for high loads andspeeds. Also see “lead screw”.BrakeActuators using a acme or worm screw are inherently self-lockingwhile ball screw driven actuators are not. To prevent ball screwactuators from backdriving they incorporate an anti backdrivingbrake (holding brake). Ball screw actuators with an AC motor canalso be equipped with an anti coast brake. Also see “anti coastbrake/electrical brake” and “holding brake”.CapacitorThe ac actuators use permanent split capacitor motors andrequire the use of a start/run capacitor in the control circuit tooperate. The controls for the ac actuators have the capacitorincluded in the control. For customer supplied controls, a separatecapacitor is required and the part number is included on theactuator product page.CertificatesCE certification and UL listing are the two main third party approvalsavailable for actuators. Most of the AC actuators are UL listed asstandard and UL has no standard for DC actuators under 48 Vdc.All actuators sold in the EU are CE certified while some actuatorssold outside of the EU may not be. If you order your actuator outsideof the EU and need a CE certification, contact the factory to verifyavailability and be sure to include the request on your order.ControlsControls can be external to the actuator and provide the actuatorwith the correct voltage, have either membrane or pendantoperators and some have position indicators. The Pro series alsohas internal controls that continuously monitor the operation ofthe actuator.Cover TubeThe cover tube provides protection for the lead screw and providesprotection and support for the extension tube. For the Electrak 100and PPA and as an option on the Electrak 205 actuators, the covertube also provides the rear mounting connection.CustomizationEven the most versatile actuator may not always suit allapplications. But whatever your need is, our engineers areready to help you to customize the actuators according to yourrequirements. We build more exclusive actuators than anyoneelse and have decades of experience of producing actuators tomeet special needs.Duty Cycleon timeDuty cycle =(on time + off time)Example: 15 sec on, 45 sec off15 sec= 25% duty cycle(15 sec + 45 sec)The duty cycle is a function of load for dc actuators. The dutycycle charts for each actuator should be reviewed when lowerloads and higher duty cycles are needed. All actuators have atleast a 25% duty cycle at full rated load. Ambient temperaturesabove 77° F may affect the final rating.www.thomsonlinear.com57

GlossaryDy – LoDynamic LoadThe dynamic load rating is how much load the actuator will movewhen power is applied. Also see “load rating”.Dynamic BrakingDynamic braking is a feature on the Pro series which short circuitsthe motor windings at power off resulting in a shorter coastingdistance before the actuator comes to a complete stop. Dynamicbraking can be accomplished on other dc actuators by wiring thecontrol to short the motor leads when power is removed.Electronic Limit Switches (ELS)ELS stands for Electronic Limit Switches and it is a current sensingfunction used in some actuator control models. The ELS sensesthe current and if the current exceeds a pre-set level the controlcuts the power to the motor. This function can be used to detectand stop at the ends of the actuator stroke or to stop the actuatorif it runs into an obstacle.Electronic Load Monitoring (ELM)A built-in microprocessor inside the Pro series actuatorscontinuously monitors the performance of the actuator. Themicroprocessor will stop the movement at the end of stroke, incase of mid stroke stall, at overload conditions or if the duty cycleis too high. It also eliminates the need of a clutch and providesdynamic braking.Encoder FeedbackEncoders provide a digital output signal that can be used todetermine the position of the extension tube. An encoderequipped actuator must return to a “home” position if power isremoved and restored in order to reset its starting point. Also see“potentiometer feedback”.End of Stroke Limit SwitchesEnd of stroke limit switches are switches that are incorporated insome actuator models, either as standard or as an option, that willshut off power when the end of stroke is achieved. Also see “fixedend of stroke limit switches” and “adjustable end of stroke limitswitches”.End Play (Backlash)The stack up of tolerances within the lead screw assembly andgearing allowing some linear movement of the extension tubewithout rotating the motor. Typical end play or backlash varies bymodel. The range is 0.015 to 0.080 inch.Extension TubeThe extension tube slides in and out of the actuator and is connectedvia the front adaptor to the load being moved or positioned.Fixed End of Stroke Limit SwitchesThe fixed end of stroke limit switches allow the full stroke of theactuator to be used and will shut off power when the end of strokeis achieved. Also see “end of stroke limit switches”.Holding BrakeThe Electrak 1, 2, 050, 150 and some Pro series incorporate anacme screw which is inherently self-locking while Electrak 5, 10,100, 205 and the high load Pro series actuators have a ball screwdrive incorporating an anti backdriving brake (holding brake) thatengages when the actuator has come to a complete stop. Alsosee “brake”.Input VoltageThe nominal voltage required to operate the actuator. All actuatorswill accept at least a ± 10 % variation of the nominal voltage buta change in the voltage will result in a change of the speed of dcactuators. Controls are available that accept 115 or 230 Vac inputand provide 24 Vdc output to operate 24 Vdc actuators.Installation InstructionsEach actuator has an installation manual to answer typicalquestions about mounting and wiring the actuators.Lead ScrewActuators use three different types of lead screws dependingon the configuration and load requirements of the actuator. Ballscrews are highly efficient and are used for high loads and speeds.Acme screws withstand vibration and shock better and are usedfor applications with these characteristics. Worm screws are selflocking and will not backdrive.Lifetime ExpectancyLife is a function of load, stroke length and how often the overloadclutch is operated. The specific load/life charts for each actuatorwill provide a life estimate for your particular application.Lifting ColumnsLifting columns provide a stable base for adjusting the height oftables or platforms. The column provides both the lifting force andthe ability to resolve high moment forces from off axis loads.Linear ActuatorsActuators providing a linear thrust via an extension tube to lift,lower, push, pull or position a load.Load RatingThe load rating is the minimum amount of force the actuator willprovide during its lifetime. The load rating of all rod style actuatorsis the same for both compression and tension loads. Also see“dynamic load”, “static load” and “tension and compression load”.58 www.thomsonlinear.com

Linear ActuatorsGlossaryM – PManual Override (Hand Wind)Allows manual operation of the actuator in both directions in caseof a power failure. The actuator accepts a standard hexagon keyto rotate the motor in either direction. Optional on some modelsand standard on the Pro series.Maximum On TimeThe maximum amount of time an actuator may operate withoutstopping to “cool off”. For high load and long stroke actuatorsthis may be one extend and retract cycle. The actuator should notexceed 25% duty cycle at full rated load.MountingElectrak actuators are quickly and easily mounted by slippingpins through the holes on each end of the unit and into bracketson the machine frame and the load. Electrak 100 units must bemounted by the cover tube and a swivel rod end. PPA actuatorsare mounted by the rear trunnions on the cover tube and theclevis on the extension tube. The Electrak 205 can be mounted byeither the rear clevis or by a tube mount. Half inch diameter solidpins (1/4 inch solid pins for Electrak 1 and 050) provide maximumholding strength and a retaining or cotter pin on each end willprevent the solid pin from falling out of its mounting bracket. Rollor spring type mounting pins should be avoided. The mountingpins must be parallel to each other as shown below (Fig. a). Pinswhich are not parallel may cause the actuator to bind. The loadshould act along the axis of the actuator since off center loadsmay cause binding (Fig. b).Fig. aFig. bNon-driven ActuatorsActuators supplied without a motor and driven manually or by acustomer supplied motor.Operating and Storage TemperatureThe operating temperature is the range in which the actuator maybe safely operated. For the high end of the range, the duty cyclewill be lower than 25 %. All actuators can be stored or transportedat the same temperature as the operating temperature. Contactcustomer support if the operating temperature will be exceededduring storage or transportation.Output VoltageOutput voltage is the voltage from the control to run the actuator.The controls for dc actuators have 24 Vdc output. The controls forac actuators have either 115 or 230 Vac output.Overload ClutchElectrak 050, 2, 5, 10, 100, 205 and PPA series linear actuators areprotected by a load limiting mechanical clutch which prevents themotor from stalling at either end of the actuator stroke. It will alsoslip when the factory-set load limit is exceeded. The clutch is aball detent design, assuring a consistent slip point and long life.Potentiometer FeedbackPotentiometers provide an analog output signal that can be usedto determine the position of the extension tube. A potentiometerwill “remember” its position if power is removed and restored. Allpotentiometers are set to a minimum value on full retract. Also see“encoder feedback.Programmable Limit SwitchesAn optional control contained inside the Pro series to which anexternal programming box or customer supplied switches can beconnected to set and reset the end of stroke limits as often asneeded. The programming box has a “jog to position” switch anda “set limit” switch.Protection ClassThe protection class refers to the environmental rating of theenclosure. The first digit applies to airborne contaminants and thesecond digit to water/moisture.IP33: protected against the penetration of solid objects with adiameter greater than 12 mm and against direct sprays ofwater up to 60 degrees from vertical.IP44: protected against the penetration of solid objects with adiameter greater than 1 mm and against water sprayedfrom any direction.IP45: protected against the penetration of solid objects with adiameter greater than 1 mm and low pressure water jetsfrom any direction.IP51: protected from dust and vertical dripping water/condensation.IP52: protected from dust and dripping water/condensationfalling at an angle up to 15 degrees from vertical.IP56: protected from dust and high pressure water jets fromany direction.IP65: dust tight and protected against low pressure water jetsfrom any direction.IP66: dust tight and protected against high pressure water jetsfrom any direction.IP67: dust tight and protected against the effect of immersion inwater between 150 mm (5.9 inch) and 1 meter (39.4 inch).www.thomsonlinear.com59

GlossaryR – WRestraining TorqueThe torque which is developed between the clevis on theextension tube and rear mount(clevis or trunnion) when the unitextends or retracts and ratchets the clutch (Fig. c).Fig. cRodless ActuatorsRodless actuators provide support for the load as well as thrust.The load is supported and moved by a carriage on the actuatorrather than pushed or pulled by an extension rod. Rodlessactuators are ideal for applications requiring long strokes (upto 5 feet), high speeds (up to 4.3 in/sec), movement of the loadwithin the shortest envelope possible or the load supported by theactuator.Rotary ActuatorsActuators providing a rotary output to position a load, turn awinch, or rotate a gear or sprocket.Service and MaintenanceActuators are generally maintenance free. The Electrak 2, 5, 10,100, 205 and Pro series have repair kits available from your localdistributor or OEM.Signal Follower Input / ControlAn optional control contained inside the Pro series actuators thatwill cause the extension tube position to follow a customer suppliedpotentiometer signal. Also known as a position follower control.Sizing and SelectionThe Danahermotion.com web site includes a product advisorthat can be used to walk through the decision process for pickingthe best actuator and to get the ordering data for your choice. Goto www.danahermotion.com/linear_actuator_advisor to find outmore.SpeedDC actuators have a direct load/speed relationship. As the loadincreases, the speed of the dc actuators decreases. There arecurves on each product page to show the speed from no load tofull rated load. AC actuators have very little speed fluctuationsbased on load but there are load/speed curves on all the acactuator product pages.Spline Safety FunctionAn optional safety function on the rodless actuator (LM80) that willstop downward motion in case the carriage (the moving member)collides with an obstacle. The motor will keep running but thecarriage will stand still and not pull down on the obstacle. Whenreversing the motor rotation the carriage will automatically startto move upwards again.Static LoadThe static load rating is how much load the actuator will hold withpower off. The static load rating is normally twice the dynamicload rating. Also see “load rating”.Synchronous OperationMotor speed cannot be controlled with enough precision to ensurethat the actuators will remain synchronized and a binding effectcould take place. Non-driven actuators may be mechanicallylinked and thereby synchronized.Tension and Compression LoadA tension load tries to stretch the actuator and a compressionload tries to compress the actuator (Fig. d). Most actuators canmanage the same tension and compression load. Also see “loadrating”.LoadFig. dLoadVent TubeThe Electrak 050 and 150 have a breather tube in the wiring harnessto allow the actuator to operate without creating a vacuum anddrawing water through the seals on the cover tube.Worm ScrewWorm screws are self locking and will not backdrive. Also see“lead screw”.60 www.thomsonlinear.com
