multiple stakeholders at the same time.
Linear actuators, such as LA40 HP, LA31, LA34 and LA44, all deliver compelling
movement with low noise levels, and they are made easy to mount and quick
to integrate with your overall control system. They support advanced position
memory functions and preset movement patterns, and they are tested to perform
flawlessly throughout their service life.

Recently, LINAK® launched a new version of the popular linear actuator LA40.
The LA40 HP (High Performance) delivers the characteristic smooth LINAKmovement. It is flanked by all the familiar safety features, such as ratchet
spline, and comply with all necessary international standards and norms. It
is also remarkably low-noise (<50dB) considering the fact that it delivers athorough full-stroke push of up to 8,000 N.
Through tireless research, development, and constant technologicalinnovation, we have refined movement building on information gatheredfrom dental professionals. The result is highly adaptable and flexible dental
chair solutions with position memory, enabling you to help dentists stayefficient all day every day, and provide great comfort for the patients.

The linear actuator series
LINAK has a broad range of electric actuators ideal for dental chairs. The
LA40 HP is the latest in a series also covering actuators such as the LA31,
the LA34 and the LA44 – delivering high-power movement in both pushand pull.
Development in inline actuators continues to be a focus area too. Integrating
movement where physical space is limited requires products like the LA20
that, though small and elegant, push up to 2,500 N.
No matter what LINAK actuator you need to perfect your dental chair
application, you can rest assured that everything merges easily with youroverall control system. Mounting is easy and service life, even with little orno maintenance, is long and flawless.
Adding a LINAK foot switch FS3, you include an intuitive control, allowing
users to adjust the chair while keeping both hands free to care for the patientand improve overall ergonomics. The FS3 is equally easy to integrate and it isdesigned to match all LINAK set-ups.

Optimise efficiency, ergonomics, and comfort in the clinic

As a dentist the well-being of your patient is literally in your hands. To beable to provide both comfort and professional dental care for the patient, a
number of things need to be optimal.
A comfortable dental chair with smooth movement patterns powered by
LINAK® actuator technology enables you to offer the patient solid support forlegs and the lumbar region, as well as a precise neck support.
At the same time, you will have a chair with fast and durable movement
for years, requiring a minimum of service. You will be able to optimise
ergonomics around the chair making your workday pleasant. All-in all, youwill increase the level of efficiency – benefitting the patient as well as
yourself and your staff.

With LINAK comes several safety features
Quality movement in dental chairs include a number of safety features.
These are primarily designed to protect the users. However, they also work
as protection of the equipment, preventing it from underperforming,
operating hazardously, or simply breaking down.
Examples of specific features include our patented safety nut that acts as aprecaution against potential failure of the main nut. Another feature is theratchet spline function. This prevents accidental squeezing of limbs between
moving parts in an application and prevents the application from being
damaged.
Generally, LINAK works closely together with dental chair manufacturers
to include as many safety features as possible. Some features are optional,
while others are standard in systems powered by LINAK actuators.

Did you know?
• that Brazil has the largest number of registered dentists
in the world?
242,266 in total1. The Pacific country of Nauru has
just one.
• that the Polynesian island of Niue, however, has thebest dental coverage. 2.45 dentists per 1,000 inhabitants.
In Benin the figure is 0.001 per 1000 (in Brazil it is 1.22)1• in 2014, a study at Yale University showed that UScounties with a higher number of dentists per capita
have strikingly lower rates of obesity2.
• that ‘dental tourism’ is a growing business. The US-		based organisation Patients Beyond Borders estimatedthat some 400,000 Americans crossed the border during
2012 to have dental service3 – expecting a growth of20 % annually. In Europe, Hungary has earned the 		name “dental capital of Europe”, while Thailand andMalaysia hold a similar status in Asia.
