Flexible, powerful, and reliable performance with LA42
The possibility to specify the rotation of the LA42 motor housing in 10-degree steps to optimally match an application can change the way that manufacturers of high-end health and care devices approach their design challenges.
Flexibility that lets form follow function
No longer will manufacturers have to work around the design of their actuators; now they can design the actuator around their design, truly allowing form to follow function. This is LINAK® at its innovative best, constantly improving technology to improve the lives of people who design, develop, and eventually benefit from the use of our technology.
Reliability and power with low noise performance
The LA42 offers a strong and reliable lifting capacity with a push load of 7,000 N and dynamic pull load of 3,500 N – enough to provide rock-solid positioning and low noise performance when it counts. Its compact form allows designers more options in space-constrained situations while a washable IPX6 standard enables hygienic cleaning in today’s clinical environments.
“LA42 is the go-to actuator for compact applications with the need for power and flexibility. With its new composite motor housing, the LA42 is even more robust than the previous compact LINAK actuators and measures up favourably against some of the more powerful LINAK actuators. The addition of a piston rod eye means it is now also possible for customers to connect the actuator directly to a moving element without adding extra parts - as they have a joint mechanism included with the actuator.” Lars Øgaard, Systems Manager for LINAK.
Configuration freedom
The LA42 is flexible in terms of its unique configuration possibilities and can be linked in systems with several LA42 actuators via the Power Junction Box PJB4, which branches out from a single PCP port to three ports. The LA42 and PJB4 are compatible with control boxes that have PCP 2.0 and the LIFT50™, which gives the system unlimited possibilities.
A sound choice
“Our focus on sound has played a major role in the design of the LA42. For healthcare professionals and persons in need of care in particular, excessive noise can be irritating. With the LINAK know-how, the moving parts of LA42 have been designed to keep sound to a minimum. Throughout the development of the LA42, focus has been on designing a compact low-noise actuator with minimum envelope for an excellent fit in the healthcare application” explains Lars Øgaard.
Quality when it counts
For high-end healthcare applications and care environments where only the best will do, the LA42 is tomorrow’s choice for manufacturers who want to differentiate their offering and take mission-critical design to the next level of performance. The LA42 is designed for a wide range of applications within both the healthcare market, such as wheelchairs, surgery tables, medical carts, hospital beds, couches, and dental chairs.
