The new Thomson Max Jac linear actuator is one of the most rugged actuators on the market today. The result of decades of experience in producing linear actuators for the mobile off-highway market, it is designed to endure the harshest environments. It is built to work virtually maintenance-free in environments where it may encounter fertiliser, acid, oil, grease, cleaning agents, mud, sand, high pressure water jets, slush, salt water, snow, heat or heavy vibrations. It is rated for IP66/IP69K and has been tested for 500 hours of salt spray.
The Max Jac is not only tough but is also a high performer that delivers speed, efficiency and accuracy in a compact envelope. The operating temperature range of the Max Jac stretches from -40 to +85°C; this is the widest range of all actuators on the market. Unlike most actuators the Max Jac can be washed directly with high pressure water jets and even be submerged for short periods when not operating. This eliminates the need for bellows or other protective devices. This simplifies cleaning and installation, reduces the size of the installation and lowers the total cost.
Like all Thomson linear actuators, the Max Jac can easily be customised to match the requirements of a specific application.
