“Over the years IP ratings have become more and more important as many of these products are used on equipment that operates outdoors,” said Chad Carlberg, Product Line Manager for Linear Actuators at Thomson. Chad explains: “Whether its dust, dirt, sand or water, you need to have confidence that your actuator will hold up to the intended environment. To specify an electric linear actuator, you must first determine the typical operating environment and then select the corresponding IP rating to ensure you’ve chosen the best solution.

In the video, Chad describes how each protection rating provides a different classification: “If a product is rated as IP65, it is protected against dust ingress and low pressure wash-down. Whereas, a product rated at IP66 is protected against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets,” said Chad.
Thomson strives to continually innovate and lead the marketplace in linear motion solutions and share their application engineering and technical expertise. To that end, Thomson has authored a wide range of educational videos, webinars and technical white papers available now on-line, to inform and guide design engineers, explain technology alternatives and simplify the linear motion component selection process.
