Thomson Linear MOTIONEERING Online Tool

Thomson Industries, Inc. has introduced a Linear MOTIONEERING online tool that helps design engineers accurately size and select electric linear actuators.

• Self-service functionality
• Provides interactive series of questions, making it easier for users to benefit from Thomson’s extensive application engineering knowledge base
• Guides users through journey of sizing up electric linear actuator solution to fit their application
• Asks same kinds of questions about mechanical, electrical and control requirements that Thomson applications engineer would ask
• Guides users in clarifying application parameters up front for optimal selection
• Presents more options for voltage, stroke, control, adaptor location and custom connectors than users might otherwise find from searching on their own
• Presents results in a way that makes it easy to parse tradeoffs among the options, revealing, for example, the impact of position feedback on cost or cost parameters on product life
• Readily available help buttons provide additional information, tutorials and videos help clarify aspects
• Once product is selected, users can navigate to a page from which they have access to CAD models, documentation, up-front pricing and lead times
• Users can easily use the tool to access replacement parts and spares for equipment
• Built on modular architecture that enables it to evolve easily with product line
