Smart Actuators Meet Increasing Demand for Greater Connectivity, Application Flexibility and Cost Efficiency

Benefit from electromechanical actuators with integrated, affordable position feedback with easy network connectivity

A recent article details how the new generation of Thomson smart linear actuators can help with more complex automation schemes and a more compact system footprint, which simplifies operation and lowers cost of ownership.

Key among the benefits is the integration of electronics into the actuator's housing, including:

• Low-level power switching.

• Position feedback / end-of-stroke indication.

• Simplified control architectures with bus operation.

• Monitoring and diagnostics.

• Remote access and communication protocols.

• Synchronisation.

Learn more about these features and the benefits of integrated onboard electronics. Read the article on the Thomson website.
