Stuttgart, Germany – Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, will be exhibiting at LogiMAT 2025 from 11-13 March in Stuttgart, Germany, a selection of its smart electric linear actuators designed to optimise automation in intralogistics and material handling equipment. With decades of expertise in motion control, Thomson continues to support machine manufacturers with solutions that improve efficiency, precision, and reliability across a wide range of logistics and warehouse applications.

Thomson’s extensive portfolio of linear motion solutions is widely used in automated storage and retrieval systems, conveyor systems, lifting equipment, palletisers, and autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). At LogiMAT, the focus will be on its line of Electrak® smart electric actuators, which deliver precise motion control, real-time feedback, and built-in intelligence to optimise performance in various high-demand and potentially hazardous environments. By eliminating the leaks, maintenance, and inefficiencies associated with hydraulic and pneumatic alternatives, these actuators offer a cleaner, more energy-efficient solution that integrates seamlessly with modern automation systems.

"Automation in material handling is evolving rapidly, and manufacturers need solutions that keep pace with increasing demands for precision, safety, and connectivity," said Håkan Persson at Thomson Industries. "Our smart electric actuators provide the intelligence and reliability essential for today’s logistics operations, offering enhanced control, real-time diagnostics, and long-term durability in even the most demanding environments."

The Electrak XD, HD, LL, and MD actuators are engineered to meet the diverse demands of material handling applications, delivering an optimal balance of power, precision, and intelligent control. The Electrak XD delivers hydraulic-level force in a fully electric design, making it ideal for heavy-duty lifting and automation, while eliminating the maintenance and inefficiencies of hydraulic systems. The Electrak HD combines high power with integrated controls, removing the need for external components and simplifying installation. Designed for continuous operation, the Electrak LL provides 100% duty cycle performance, making it well suited for high-throughput environments. Additionally, the Electrak MD, with its compact yet durable construction, is ideal for space-constrained applications that demand precise, intelligent motion control.

With integrated connectivity features such as CAN bus communication, programmable stroke limits, and force monitoring, Thomson actuators offer superior control, diagnostics, and safety – key factors in today’s highly automated logistics environments. Their ability to adapt to various material handling applications makes them a valuable addition to warehouse automation, robotic handling, and transport systems.

Thomson will be exhibiting at LogiMAT at the Regal Rexnord booth (Gallery of Hall 1, GA14). In addition to Thomson advanced smart electric actuators, visitors can also connect with fellow Regal Rexnord brand experts from Modsort, Bauer Gear Motor, Rex and Warner Electric to discuss a wider range of material handling components and solutions.
