2Unique movement solutions for increased comfort at sea

From small motor boats to sailboats and yachts – regardless of the type of your boat,
LINAK® can help you design all kinds of adjustable features both above and below
deck. With a variety of versatile high-quality electric actuator solutions, movement has
never been easier to integrate.

LINAK actuators are capable and well
suited for use in corrosive environments
where salt, water, wind and sun wear
out equipment quickly.

When your customers step onto their boat, yacht or other recreational vessel, they will
expect comfort and intuitive usability – some even luxury living conditions. Integrating
movement solutions in your boat design will help meet these demands, while utilising
the limited space available. LINAK is ready to support this design journey with tried andtested actuator solutions that are easily implemented and adapted.
For all boats it is often critical that products work under extreme conditions. LINAK
actuators are capable and well suited for use in corrosive environments where salt,water, wind and sun wear out equipment quickly. Our actuators can be adapted toeven harsher conditions with stainless steel elements, and the actuators require nomaintenance.
With 30 subsidiaries worldwide and more than 30 years of experience with actuator
technology, LINAK is accessible, capable and ready to help you add value to your yachtwith electric movement.

Turn your sofa into a sun lounger

To optimise the usage of the limited space on board yachts and sailboats,
creative solutions are much appreciated among sailors. Turning a sofa into alounger on the yacht’s sun deck is such an idea.
Adding movement to leisure furniture in general is a LINAK® speciality.
We have years of experience in developing elegant and comfort-enhancing
adjustment. Our electric actuators offer smooth motion, effortless operation,and take comfort to the next level. Integrating solutions with overall boat
design is easy and will provide seamless pleasure for many years on board
your ship.

Integrating electric actuators in radar arches and folding roofs will, first ofall, help you get the most out of the space. However, using LINAK solutions
to do the job has several other advantages.
Radar arches add to the height of many yacht types. Many in-port basin
areas is only accessible under low bridges. This means lowering the arch isnecessary.
Folding roofs and convertible tops are either rolled back (stowed) or moved
forward/backward, serving more than one purpose and utilising the same
space at least twice.
Apart from adding further luxury to the vessel, the benefits of using LINAK®
actuators for all these applications are, that they are thoroughly tested towithstand life at sea, easy to integrate/install (only a few cables), and thefact that they are maintenance-free.

Actuators to create multi-function home below deck

Creating homely comfort on board recreational vessels is a prime goal of
any yacht designer. The interior layout must embrace practical purposes andfunctions as well as offer convenience and exclusive luxury.

Easy raising and lowering of tables, or automatically turning two single
beds into a master bed are some of the options that will add to the user
experience. Apart from making life on board easier, movement solutions
from LINAK® will also help get the most out of the space inside your yacht.

When anchored or berthed comfort is key focus. Ventilating the cabins by
opening windows and skylights, accessing remote stow room, lifting theTV set from the side panel or the wine rack from under the sole – basically,

anything requiring an extension or a retraction adjustment – can becontrolled and smoothly performed by LINAK actuators.

Open hatches and convert stern to a bathing platform

Obviously, safety on board is paramount. With the right equipment a coupleof practical features can appear in the shape of both extra comfort andincreased safety.
Using LINAK® actuator solutions to lift hatches is an example. It is bothconvenient and a safety feature, as it locks, for example, the engine hatch
securely when closed, as well as prevents it from falling when opened.

The same goes for adjustable bathing platforms. At first it seems like apleasant luxury that you can turn the stern into an easy entry and exit forswim. However, it can also provide an invaluable rescue platform in case ofcrew in the water by accident.

Smart movement for marine boats

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

13Actuators for marine

Operating temperatures between -40oC to +85oC make them
fit for work in numerous settings. Also, they can be adapted to evenharsher conditions with stainless steel elements.

LINAK® industrial actuators offer a versatile array of movement
solutions for marine boats.
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.
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
for years, even when exposed to salt, water, wind, and sun.

15Increase durability with stainless steel options

For improved resistance against the harsh outdoor saltwaterenvironments, LINAK® offers a selection of stainless steel
piston rod eyes, back fixtures, and inner and outertubes. This makes actuators even more resistant to thedirect exposure of salt water and sun for years, which isparticularly important around deck hatches or bathing
platforms at the stern.

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:

18“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.

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.
