Understanding your needs

For many years, LINAK® has been a sub-supplier to several ventilationequipment manufacturers and stable designers all over Europe. Our reference
list is long and we are proud of our good reputation. However, we also knowthat an image like this does not create itself. Therefore, we work even harderwhen designing solutions and we know what it takes to supply actuatorsystems where flexibility and reliability are the top priority.
Ventilation equipment manufacturers and suppliers realise significant
improvements by using linear actuators from LINAK. Easy installation,
excellent feedback and integration are some of the features that may provide
your business with a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
An electric actuator from LINAK is an obvious choice for harsh environmentswith moisture, dust and temperature changes; we know how essential a welloperating ventilation system is for the farmer.

“For more than 20 years, LINAK has suppliedmaintenance-free products with a long lifetime forseveral ventilation equipment manufacturers andstable designers all over Europe.”

What LINAK® actuators do for ventilation and farming solutions

Reliable and adequate ventilation in animal houses is essential to farmers.
The ventilation system takes care of adjusting the temperature and thehumidity of the air as well as regulating the indoor climate by cleaning out
dust, fumes and natural gasses. An insufficient or malfunctioning ventilation
system can cause serious - even fatal - problems for livestock.
LINAK® electric actuator systems are very well suited for a lot of applications
that could improve the working conditions for a modern farmer. Automaticadjustment of the feed flow, control of valves and cover lifts or adjustment of
the windows are just a few examples.

Inlet valves
Stepless adjustment of inlet valves to ensure an
acceptable and healthy indoor climate in order toincrease the productivity and to avoid diseases.

4Climate cover

Ventilation dampers

Young pigs need warm and protected places where they can rest
during the day. However, the farmer needs to check their conditionoccasionally. With electrical cover lifts he can gain an overview of
the complete stable within minutes.

The actuator can be used for stepless opening and closing of ventilation
dampers for air outlet, depending on temperature level, humidity or
vacuum etc.

Feed units

Agriculture valves

In modern farming industries the amount of feed is measured very
carefully. By using an actuator it is possible to adjust the feed flow
proportionately according to the particular feeding programme required.

For example slurry valves and fodder valves are often placed inpositions where access can be limited; therefore, electrical solutions
can be very beneficial for the user.

5Explore the rich technology behind actuators

At the Actuator Academy™, you will find a library of videos and information about actuator
components, actuator testing, and intelligent actuator control.
Find out what you should expect of a good industrial actuator, what affects its performance andefficiency, and how to best utilise your linear motion actuator.
We hope to inspire you and ultimately make you wiser on the moving electric revolution weare all part of.
Happy exploring!

6Smart movement for ventilation and farming

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

Actuators for ventilation and farming

LINAK® industrial actuators offer a versatile array of movement
solutions for ventilation and farming.
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.

Operating temperatures between -40oC to +85oC make them
fit for work in numerous settings. Also, the actuators LA36, LA25 andLA14 are certified according to IECEx and ATEX and can be operated
in dust explosive atmospheres.

Industrial actuators with heavy-duty aluminium housings are very
suitable for use in corrosive environments. Having been thoroughly
salt spray and chemical resistance tested and approved for ratings
up to IP66 and IP69K static, these actuators will work reliably foryears, even when exposed to salt, water, wind, and sun.

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:

10“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 extremetemperatures 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.
