Thomson H-Track Actuator Expands with Marine-Grade, Underwater Capabilities

August 11, 2025
TwinSpin® high-precision backlash-free cycloidal reduction gearboxes

The Thomson H-Track electro-hydraulic actuator, already trusted for its innovative blend of heavy-duty hydraulic performance and the compact, maintenance-free benefits of an electromechanical design, now offers enhanced durability and versatility with a new marine-grade version.

Engineered to withstand harsh, corrosive, and wet environments, the upgraded H-Track incorporates:

  • 316 stainless steel components (fasteners, adapters, and piston rod) for superior corrosion resistance

  • Certification for long-term exposure in marine environments

  • IP68 dynamic rating for reliable underwater operation

  • Sealed motor housing to protect internal components

  • Refined design for improved performance and longevity

These enhancements extend the H-Track’s proven reliability into marine, agricultural, industrial, and off-highway applications, where strength, sealing, and durability are critical.

With its ability to resist drift, hold position without power, and perform in extreme conditions, the marine-grade H-Track sets a new benchmark for compact electro-hydraulic actuation.
