An email exchange with a Thompson engineer about the H-Track resulted in this model as a possible  replacement:  https://www.thomsonlinear.com/en/product/H2H-12-2A22-A-08


This flap positioning system from Showplanes may work to replace the roller microswitches:

Bob Morgan is building a LongEZ and has a presentation on implementation of the electro-hydraulic system with a drag link and mountain bike shock absorber:

Pulled from an email from Thomson:

When it comes to advanced actuator technologies, Thomson has been at the forefront for more than 50 years. That same pioneering spirit exists today amongst our engineers, resulting in breakthrough features and benefits driven by the needs of our customers. To further enhance our offerings and simplify the conversion from hydraulic systems to electric actuators, a groundbreaking set of benefits are driving our latest developments.

FORCE FEEDBACK
For payload-sensing and controlled clamping force applications, Thomson electric actuators can sense an overload event to prevent system damage, push or pull with a predetermined, controlled force level and act as a scale by providing load measurements.

MOTOR/DRIVE/CONTROL & REGEN
For mobile, battery operated applications, regen circuits feed energy back into the battery to extend time between changes, providing more uptime. An integrated motion controller and drive simplify system design and save engineering time, while enabling diagnostics, condition monitoring and bus communication.

POWER DENSITY
For applications with limited space, zero tolerance for leaks or high accuracy requirements, our actuators are suitable drop-in replacements for hydraulic systems, providing efficient weight and space benefits.

SHOCK DAMPENING
For vehicles on rough terrain or applications with impact loads, the actuator's ability to dampen shocks helps avoid breakage of structural machine parts, eliminates bouncing and extends its own service life.
