The LA14 - New Tough Electric Actuator from LINAK® with Aluminium Housing

Online, May 8, 2013 (Newswire.com) - It is a tough world and hardworking applications within for example agriculture, road vehicles, construction machinery and other heavy-duty industries are exposed to massive challenges in their working environments.

That could be dirt, dust, mud or water threatening to force its way into applications and cause them to fail or it could be weather related obstacles in the shape of, for example, extreme cold or heat, rain, snow and fog that can cause failure in the equipment. Sudden weather changes make it difficult to prepare machinery for the challenges because it is necessary to consider all extremes.

Time-consuming maintenance and repairs due to breakdowns can be costly and potentially bring a company on the verge of failure.

That is why reliable, maintenance-free performance, even under extreme conditions, can mean the difference between failure and success for companies operating in harsh environments.

TECHLINE faces these challenges every day with reliable maintenance-free actuator solutions ready to perform in extreme environments.

The actuator LA14 from TECHLINE is the new member of the family of strong, robust TECHLINE actuators. As all TECHLINE actuators, it is characterised by top quality and exceptional performance as well as easy installation and little or no maintenance.

What distinguishes the LA14 actuator from other TECHLINE actuators is the aluminium housing making it extremely robust and resistant to the elements. Protection class is as high as IP66 dynamic, making it highly usable in harsh environments and IP69K static, making high-pressure cleaning possible.

The aluminium housing also makes the LA14 capable of performing in temperatures ranging from -30 degrees below and all the way up to 85 degrees Celsius.

The LA14 is a very compact actuator with built-in dimensions of only 255 mm. It comes with 12/24 V DC permanent magnetic motor and has a working load up to 750 N. The stroke length goes from 20 mm to 130 mm and it comes with built-in limit switches as well as exchangeable cables.
