Comprehensive testing – trust your industrial actuator

Machinery operating in humid, wet or dusty environments must perform reliably in spite of environmental challenges. Ingress protection tests are therefore a crucial part of the testing programme for LINAK^® industrial actuators. This is how we make sure our electric actuators are robust and operate reliably, even when exposed to high-pressure cleaning and dusty environments.

Watch how we conduct Ingress Protection testing.

Actuators must perform reliably in dynamic and challenging environments. In our test centre, we subject the actuators to both vibrations, shock/bump and drop tests.

In off-highway vehicles and outdoor machinery like agriculture and construction, repetitive shocks, vibrations, and bumps are an obvious part of the machinery’s everyday life.

To deliver solid performance for many years, LINAK^® industrial actuators are designed to absorb vibrations and tested rigorously to make sure they can withstand the stress of the rough terrain.

Watch how we test for vibration and shock resistance.

Machinery working in highly corrosive environments, such as agriculture and marine industries, require reliable movement solutions that are resistant towards a wide range of chemicals, fertilisers, and salt. To confirm effective and long-term reliability throughout their service life, LINAK^® industrial actuators undergo a series of harsh corrosion tests.

The actuators are exposed to salt vapours, chemical substances, diesel oil, hydraulic fluid, and more. All these substances affect both the plastic and metal part of the actuators.

It is important, that the actuators can perform reliably throughout their service life. All LINAK^® electric actuators, regardless of size and model, are subjected to durability tests.

Industrial applications are very different in terms of functionality, and LINAK actuators must support the required variations in movement patterns and performances in these applications, whether it is steady lifting of heavy loads or frequent operation. And the actuators must be able to do this throughout their maintenance-free service life. This is why LINAK industrial actuators are thoroughly tested for mechanical durability.

Our testing in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity ensures reliable performance of the actuators under harsh conditions. Also, special test patterns, such as dunk tests, are used to cover very demanding applications in the test plan.

LINAK^® industrial actuators are tested for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in accordance with a wide range of industrial standards. This is done to ensure actuator immunity to electromagnetic interference, and to certify that radiated emissions from the actuator do not affect the industrial machinery.
