2Electric actuators for outdoor power equipment

LINAK® improves productivity with simple, safe and powerful motion control
for a variety of Outdoor Power Equipment. From Zero Turn Radius mowers,golf mowers and utility vehicles, to spreaders, sprayers and other turf andsnow maintenance attachments, LINAK delivers:• Reliable products designed for harsh outdoor conditions• Excellent alternative to many light-duty hydraulic applications• Turnkey supplier of complete motion control solutions• Cutting-edge technology when more sophisticated controls and precise
motion is required• Close collaboration between your team and our application engineers,
represented in over 30 countries
From small, light and compact actuators for space savings, to powerful robust
systems able to lift up to 15,000 N, LINAK electric actuators are built for
long-lasting durability.
Furthermore, our actuators are tested to the highest standards and can bedelivered in protection classes up to IP66 and IP69K - water, dust and dirt
proof and tested for high-pressure cleaning.

“Electric actuators from LINAK provide easy andtime-saving installation as there are no hoses, clamps
or pumps to install and test. This allows you to design
innovative and flexible solutions for your customers.”

Furthermore, our controls can easily connect to the existing power supply orcontrol systems, offering a simple plug and play solution.
LINAK electric actuators work on low voltage DC, provide high self-locking
ability and optional manual operation, creating a safer work environment forthe operator. Moreover, an electric solution is not only more energy efficient
it also eliminates the risk of hazardous oil leaks, providing a greener
alternative.
Additionally, an electric linear system requires no maintenance, minimising
downtime of the application.

Go electric and spot the differenceWith electric actuators you achieve reliable and cost-effective operation,
without oil leaks, costly maintenance, spareparts, and loss of productivity
associated with downtime.
With fewer components required to design a system, you can reduce yourcomponent costs and it is possible to replace an entire fluid systemwith one electric actuator.
Electric actuators from LINAK provide easy and time-saving installation as
there are no hoses, clamps or pumps to install and test.
LINAK offers optional built-in positioning feedback, parallel operation andaccurate positioning. This allows you to design innovative and flexible
solutions for your customers.

What LINAK actuators do for the lawn mower
Positioning
Positioning of the steering
wheel and the driver seat foreasy access and comfort
during operation

For the lawn mower, the usage of electric adjustment of e.g. the cutter blades
and the positioning of the steering wheel ensures an optimum mowing result.
Also, by adjusting the mowing height the lawn maintains its perfectcondition and the mowing frequency can even be decreased.
LINAK® actuators are very suitable for e.g. lawn mowers used on big fields
like community lawns, golf courses etc.

Smart movement for outdoor power equipment

A LINAK® IC actuator with built-in controller
reduces the number of external components
and the need for a third-party supplier for
power electronics.
It also offers a comprehensive range ofinterfaces and gives you access to productivity
enhancing data - all delivered by a single
supplier you can trust.
By helping you move smarter at every stage ofyour application process, from development,
installation and integration to tailored
movement and improved productivity, ourIC actuators add value across the board.

Choosing an IC actuator for your application is a smart move inmany ways:• Reduced complexity for faster development and production• Flexible integration with a variety of industrial interfaces• Data monitoring that minimise downtime and boost productivity

• Benefit from one single supplier11Actuators for outdoor power equipment

With thrusts up to 15,000 N, max speeds up to 160 mm/s, and strokes between 20
and 999 mm, the actuators are highly adaptable for a wide variety of applications.

Actuator LA30*

Industrial actuators with heavy-duty aluminium housings are very suitable for use in corrosive environments. Having been thoroughly salt spray and chemical resistance tested andapproved for ratings up to IP66 and IP69K static, these actuators will work reliably for years,
even when exposed to salt, water, wind, and sun.
Operating temperatures between -40oC to +85oC make them fit for work in numerous
settings.

Testing programme

In each industrial application, the actuator is just one
component of many, but at LINAK® we fully appreciate that
it is of utmost importance to you and your customers. Nota single actuator leaves the factory until it has undergone a
100% function test.
Depending on the actuator type, various tests have been
carried through. Please consult your local LINAK office or takea look at the actuator data sheet in question to get a thoroughtest overview.
This is your guarantee that a solution based on LINAKTECHLINE electric actuator systems is a solution that will work
reliably for years and years.

Climatic tests:

14“Our actuators must never malfunction.
Therefore, it is important that all our products
are tested inside and out, and to the extreme
in a wide range of tests.”

In the climatic test the actuators are tested to operate in extreme
temperatures as well as to endure rapid changes in temperature.
In a dunk test, the actuators have to withstand repeating temperature fluctuations between +85oC to -40oC and still maintain fullfunctionality and ingress protection.

Electrical tests:

Mechanical tests:

All electrical parts are tested i.e. power supply, power and signals
cables, control signals etc. Electrical immunity is tested according toindustrial standards i.e. for radio noise, electrical discharge and burst.*

Vibration: The actuator must withstand continuous
vibration in three directions.
Shock: The shock test puts the actuator through3 shocks of up to 50 G in each of six directions.
Bump: The actuator receives bumps of up to 30 G
in each of six directions several hundred times.
