Product Solutions
Available with diameters as small as 2 mm, these offer smooth, precise and cost-effective positioning.
With sizes as small as 5 mm, these guides and carriages are ideal for retrofitting into existing systems or designing into new ones.
Open architecture SMLAs combine cutting-edge motor and lead screw technologies.
Rolled and ground thread screws are available in both imperial and metric sizes with our patented zero backlash nut technology.
Pre-assembled with ready-to-install stages that provide low friction and smooth, accurate motion.
Our 60 Case® LinearRace® shafts are manufactured to the highest quality standards for long life.
Adding a 7th axis to your robot extends the horizontal operating range up to 10 m and boosts productivity.
Numerous choices in stroke, load, motor type, feedback, limits and control options make our electric linear actuators very versatile.
Take the guesswork out of specifying multiple components for a linear motion system design with these systems.

Testimonials
“The Thomson virtual design session helped narrow our choices to determine exactly what product we needed to meet our self-standing crutch’s design specifications. The online tool was easy to use and got us going, while Thomson support was instrumental in helping us customize and optimize our motion. The way in which they helped us solve the anti-rotational issues is a great example of why it helps to have consultation with a motion design expert.”

"The Thomson linear units are doing everything we need them to do, providing the basis for smooth, reliable scans that allow us to integrate accurate data into our analysis software. But there is much more we can use them for in the future."

To meet the growing demand for smaller-scale systems, motion control component manufacturers are offering standard parts in smaller sizes, hybrid assemblies and customization options.
While experienced motion engineers and automated selection tools can get you close to an ideal lead screw solution, optimization will almost always require a degree of customization. Understanding the wide range of available options will help you determine the potential role and need for customization in your applications.
