(Thomson Industries: Downers Grove, IL)--Thomson Industries Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of an enhanced synchronization option for its Electrak HD smart electric linear actuator. The new iteration of this control option implements position-based synchronization within the actuators’ onboard electronics for modern motion control applications requiring instant load balancing of multiple Electrak HD units.

“We worked closely with industrial equipment builders who need dynamic and reliable load synchronization, and redesigned our controls to meet their demands. By incorporating advanced position sensing and communication capabilities, we have streamlined the process of synchronizing multiple actuators. This enhancement helps users achieve increased efficiency, strength, and safety in heavy-duty applications,” says Violet Urban, product manager at Thomson.
