Auger Fold

Choosing Thomson Electric Linear Actuators instead of hydraulics means fewer cables, less mess, and reliable operation for auger fold applications. Actuators can also have the advantage of providing feedback to the operator to ensure the Auger is in proper position for dispensing or transit.

Key Benefits

Reduced Design Costs

• Smaller installations means increased flexibility in the overall design of the sweeper.
• Built-in clutch or limit switches for end-of-stroke protection.

Reduced Installation Costs

• Wide variety of mounting accessories and easy interface with multiple electronic controls.
• Actuator can be placed for easy installation; no direct access needed for maintenance, and no need to accommodate the large bend radius of wire-wound throttle cables.

Reduced Operating Costs

• Resistant to shock, vibration, wide temperature range and high sealing degree for reliable operation in all weather conditions.
• Maintenance free, lubricated for life; won't weaken with age or low temperatures.

Increased Safety and Productivity

• Will not leak hydraulic fluid, reducing the environmental hazards and expense of clean up.
• Fewer trips to adjust the auger means fewer process interruptions and less operator fatigue
