What you need
Whether you focus on machine design or machine control, find the resources that help you move your project forward:

Automation engineer
Ready for direct integration. With no extra hardware or workarounds, you can focus on smarter machine design.
Get started easily. Go to Downloads for the resources you need, including the EDS file.
Mechanical engineer
Need to validate the mechanical fit?
Find the actuator that best matches your application's requirements. Review specifications, compare available products, and access configurable 3D models to quickly validate dimensions, mounting options, and mechanical fit before creating your first mock-up.

Read the interface manual to ensure correct wiring and setup and get familiar with how the actuator communicates.
To simplify integration, a dedicated EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) is available. The file contains all necessary communication parameters and identity information for easy setup.
Tip: Use Actuator Connect™ Demo Mode to explore available functions and configuration options without a physical actuator. For commissioning and troubleshooting, connect via cable to configure the actuator or generate a detailed diagnostics report.
Smarter motion. Everything built in.
What does smarter motion mean for an engineer who works across mechanics and software? We asked one of our customers, Farmertronics founder Thieu Berkers. For him, it means building electric movement into the eTrac (a full electric demo model of the unmanned clean tech tractor) from the start. The CANopen-based LINAK actuator fits this approach.
Easy integration:
The actuator connects directly to the eTrac’s CANopen network, with no separate control setup for the lifting function.
Smarter automation:
CANopen commands are translated into precise electric movement, allowing the mowing deck to adjust automatically.
Simpler machine design:
The built-in interface and controller reduce the need for extra components and support Berkers’ mechatronic design.
We improve your life. For engineers like Thieu Berkers, that means making movement easier to integrate into the machine.
