Preface Dear User, We are delighted that you have chosen a product from LINAK®. LINAK systems are high-tech products based on many years of experience in the manufacture and development of actuators, electric control boxes, controls, and chargers. This user manual does not address the end-user, but is intended as a source of information for the manufacturer of the equipment or system only, and it will tell you how to install, use and maintain your LINAK electronics.
LINAK application policy The purpose of the application policy is to define areas of responsibilities in relation to applying a LINAK product defined as hardware, software, technical advice, etc. related to an existing or a new customer application. LINAK products as defined above are applicable for a wide range of applications within Medical, Furniture, Desk, and Industry areas.
Chapter 1 Safety instructions Please read this safety information carefully: Be aware of the following three symbols throughout the user manual: Warning! Failing to follow these instructions can cause accidents resulting in serious personal injury. Recommendations Failing to follow these instructions can result in the actuator suffering damage or being ruined. Additional information Usage tips or additional information that is important in connection with the use of the actuator.

Mounting guidelines • The mounting pins must have the correct dimension. • The bolts and nuts must be made of a high quality steel grade (e.g. 10.8). No thread on the bolt inside the back fixture or the piston rod eye. •...
Mounting of cables 1. Unscrew the cover and remove the two 2. Plug in the power cable and/or cables and/or blind plugs. the signal cable. 3. Slide the cover onto the actuator. The torque of the cover screw is approx. 3.5 ± 0.2 Nm TORX 25IP When changing the cables on a LINAK actuator, it is important that this is done carefully, in order to protect the plugs and pins.
Electrical installation • To ensure maximum self-locking ability, please be sure that the motor is shorted when stopped. Actuators with integrated controller provide this feature, as long as the actuator is powered. • When using soft stop on a DC-motor, a short peak of higher voltage will be sent back towards the power supply.
