Ergonomic side handles
• Make Equipment Lifting Easy and comfortable – attach in pairs
• Sturdy – Glass-fiber reinforced polyamide-based polymer material provides high tensile strength and impact strength
• Ready for Mounting – with brass bosses or blind holes for self-tapping screws

After a few false starts with systems using dual actuators,
Powell took the advice of a local automotive technology distributor

who suggested that heavy duty electromechanical linear actuators from Thomson Industries, Inc. would be best suited for the rugged conditions he would encounter.

“I started with a list of several actuators that would have been

sufficient for my basic needs and compared their spec sheets for weight, speed, current draw etc.,”he said.
“The Thomson actuator was slightly heavier than the others, but
its IP rating and strength proved to have the robustness I needed.” Powell designed his stabilizer using an Electrak HD actuator. This ball screw type actuator is known for its high power, longer stroke, onboard electronics and ruggedness. It has an ingress protection rating of IP69, which means it is highly resistant to mud, inclement
