Clevis-to-Clevis Actuators launched
Thomson Saginaw announces the availability of new AC, DC and miniature Clevis-to-Clevis Performance Pak Actuators (CPPA).
As well as greater load capacities, the new models, compared with existing Thomson actuators, have more compact designs, enhanced energy efficiency and comprehensive control options.
The new electric lifting cylinders also feature electronic limit switch-off and overload protection, programmable switches and the choice between digital or analogue feedback options.
In standard versions, feedback can be delivered by either Hall effect technology or via a second option, a linear potentiometer.
Both Thomson Pro models boast a contemporary, lightweight and low-noise design plus a sealed die-cast aluminium housing.
The motor offers a third less torque than previous Thomson models, but can operate at three times the speed.
Head and helical toothed wheels have been reduced by a third and bidirectional holding brakes and sealed electrical connections are also now incorporated in both models.
The back of the motor has connections for standard installation but also the option for offsetting it by 90 degrees.
The standard Thomson Pro 40 and 80 lifting cylinders have IP66 protection against dust and moisture, are resistant to corrosion and are maintenance-free but IP67 protection features are available as an optional extra.
