Case story

A dream journey becomes possible with electric actuators

Anders Lehmann is paralysed from the neck down and confined to a wheelchair, but that does not stop him from realising his dreams. He wants to sail across the Atlantic and be part of the crew on equal terms with the others. This requires certain adaptations to the boat, including a specially designed wheelchair console. Anders designed it himself and chose to use LINAK actuators for the adjustment mechanisms.

Pre-approved components from LINAK reduce certification time and complexity

In the hospital and care sector, quality and safety are essential. However, certifying medical equipment with electrical components is a complex process that requires significant resources. At LINAK, we are dedicated to supporting our customers in navigating this process and ensuring that our products meet the required standards.

Medical applications demand extremely flexible actuators

Today’s medical applications demand an extremely flexible actuator, which does not limit configuration, performance, or design. Especially in the global surgery table market, healthcare OEMs see the advantages of electrical tables due to their flexibility, limited maintenance, and ease of assembly. Many manufacturers are rethinking their application design with this in mind. LINAK offers innovative actuator solutions for surgery applications which require design flexibility – this is where the LA42 actuator will prove to be a game changer.

Li-Ion batteries – powering healthcare’s electric future

Batteries as main power supply or as backup in medical applications are becoming more and more common, and currently, we see a shift from lead-acid to Li-Ion batteries. The Li-Ion battery technology has a lot of advantages. Besides offering long-lasting and highly stable battery performance to power healthcare applications, the technology also provides reliable performance, low-weight design, and extended cycles. All in all, Li-Ion batteries are ideal for applications where time should be spent on patients and caregiving.

HC40 – unique and customisable

The HC40 FRAME™ Advanced and the HC40 TWIST™ Advanced are multi-functional and customisable wireless hand controls for nursing home beds or homecare beds, a perfect blend of function and style in one hand control. Systems with HC40 are not applicable with IEC 60601-1 approval, but as an extra hand control, they bring a new level of convenience and ease of use to caregivers and patients alike.
