Operating on 12 or 24V DC, the actuators only draw power when the load is being moved and eliminate the need for hoses, pumps, filters, regulators and periodic maintenance.

Thomson Electrak actuators are manufactured with weather protection seals and gaskets ensuring rugged IP66 rated actuation. Typical marine applications include the raising and lowering of engine hatch covers, opening and closing windows or seat positioning.

Electrak actuators are also used for boat control, for example boom control when raising or lowering the mainsail, and downhaul tensioning.

Using an electro-mechanical actuator a position can be held without the need for additional props or fixings, built-in brakes are standard on ball screw models to prevent back driving.

Electrak actuators have also been used for many years as gearshift and throttle control applications in "drive by wire" system for utility boats.

Electrak actuators are available with stroke lengths from 25mm to 600mm and load ratings from 100 to 6800N. They feature ball or acme screw drives for high or moderate load ratings and hold a load safely if power is lost.

All models are CE approved and also meet UL 1500 ignition protected and are easy to install with a clevis mounting.
