2The actuator from LINAK
moves the cleaning device inthe pellet heater boiler.

Added comfort with automated cleaning systems

During the past years, heat production with wood energy has increased
considerably. More and more domestic homes heat with wood pellets while
industries mainly use woodchips. Wood pellets are a favourable alternative
to oil or gas. Another factor is the CO2 emissions. Wood is a CO2 neutral
combustible material as it only releases the CO2, which the tree has absorbed
from the air previously.

“LINAK actuators optimise use by automating
the cleaning process. The position of the ash
brush is controlled by position feedback from theactuator.”

Not only the ecological aspects are important to the end-user when buying apellet heater. Ease of use and maintenance of the pellet heating system must
be exactly as simply as they are for oil and gas systems.
With linear actuators from LINAK®, you can optimise the ease of use with
an automated cleaning process. The actuators dislocate the combustion
grate and with this movement, it brushes across a cleaning device. The ash
falls down into an ashpan, which is easy to empty without interrupting theoperation.
This reduced time required for the cleaning process considerably. By meansof a position feedback in the actuator, the position of the ash brush can betransferred to the control system of the pellet heater.
The actuators of the TECHLINE® product range offer following advantages:• Position feedback• Precise movement• Reliability• Protection class IP66 for high resis-tance towards dusty environments
and high pressure cleaning• Space-saving installation• Problem-free and simple operation

Smart movement for pellet heaters

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 Pellet heaters

Operating temperatures between -40oC to +85oC make them fit
for work in numerous settings.

LINAK® industrial actuators offer a versatile array of movement
solutions for pellet heaters.
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 toIP66 and IP69K static, these actuators will work reliably for years,
even when exposed to salt, water, wind, and sun.

On the cooperational side, it must be easy for our customers to do business with LINAK®.
Therefore, we offer both standard components and customised solutions according todemand. In close cooperation with our sales engineering team you can develop an optimal
solution that fits perfectly to your task and demands.
Our LINAK TECHLINE® division is committed to offering innovative solutions that
help improve life for you and for the end-user of the system.
In-depth knowledge of the market and themarket trends makes LINAK a true solutions
provider.

9Testing programme

In each industrial application, the actuator is just one
component of many, but at LINAK® we fully appreciate thatit 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 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.
