LINAK® Presents The Strongest TECHLINE® Actuator Ever - The New LA37

Online, November 8, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The big and powerful actuator LA37 from TECHLINE has existed for some time now as an actuator developed primarily for solar applications.

Now TECHLINE presents the new version of the LA37 which is even stronger and developed for a wide range of heavy duty applications such as agricultural, forestry and construction machines.

The LA37 adds reliability, safety and maintenance free performance to industry applications for optimised production and minimum downtime.

Important features to ensure powerful and reliable performance:
• Can be ordered with 12 or 24 V DC
• Thrust up to 15,000 N
• Static holding force up to 70,000 N
• Dynamic wind stress forces 15,000 N in push/pull 100.000 times
• Heavy duty aluminium housing for harsh conditions
• IP66 dynamic and IP69 static
• Integrated brake, high self-locking ability

With iFLEX, LA37 takes actuator technology to an even higher level.

TECHLINE actuators with iFLEX all feature an integrated H-bridge which is why iFLEX solutions require less space and fewer cables than traditional actuator solutions.

The control box is simply built into the actuator making installation easy and convenient. On top of that, iFLEX offers a wide range of intelligent features to suit the needs of all thinkable applications.

To make it easy to choose the right iFLEX option, it has been divided into 4 overall integrated iFLEX options:

IC Basic - IC Advanced - Bus - Parallel

IC Basic is the straight forward plug and play solution. It comes pre-configured to meet the customer's exact requirements for stroke, speed and current limit of the actuator.

All left for the customer to do is to plug it in and it is ready for immediate use. It comes complete with basic feedback or single hall output.

IC Advanced offers unlimited access to configuration and adjustment of speed, stroke and current limit. It offers enhanced monitoring and read-out of information about the condition of the actuator and the application it is mounted in.

Bus communication offers unlimited customisation and enhanced monitoring with the added benefit of bus communication. iFLEX provides solutions with Modbus RTU RS485 or LINbus.

Parallel is the smart parallel drive solution offering parallel drive of up to 8 actuators. The system is self-configurable and the master with integrated H-bridge controls the remaining 7 slaves.

The IN/OUT signals can be aplied anywhere and the actuators can be interconnected if required. This enables the drive of one of the actuators even if the others malfunction.

The overall benefits for all iFLEX options are Quick and easy installation with fewer components and cables.

The LA37 is available with all four iFLEX options.
