Precise operation of agricultural machinery with electric actuators

Maintenance-free actuators for agricultural machinery

The number of requirements for modern machinery in agriculture is increasing. The cross-field between delicate precision farming and heavy-duty durability has to align with the demands for sustainable solutions that are flexible, intelligent, and easy to integrate. With robust LINAK actuators, you will meet the challenges of today.

Eliminate weak spots and achieve zero maintenance

Lower energy consumption and environmentally-friendly

Enjoy automation with intelligence

With a force of up to 15,000 N, electric actuators can do a variety of jobs required of modern agricultural machinery. From tractors to harvesters, sprayers, spreaders or seed drills the advantages are numerous. Today LINAK actuators are used to adjust fertilizer, salt or sand in spreaders and sprayers, and to adjust height and angle on the auger spout on harvesters. They are used to control outlet and choppers on harvesters and when wrapping bales.

No leaks, spills or periodical maintenance

Unlike hydraulic actuators, the linear electrical counterparts have no hoses or pumps. This means no oil spills, better energy efficiency and no maintenance. The compact design with only a few cables is far easier to install and the thorough testing at LINAK R&D ensures durability, reliability and a long lifetime.

Save energy and protect the environment

Electric actuators improve overall energy efficiency significantly with standby power consumption close to zero. Combined with intelligent control systems, you also reduce the spill of grain, fertilizer or straw and thereby save money for the farmer and care for the environment.

Take advantage of intelligent movement

LINAK actuators integrate easily with most agricultural machinery control systems. By offering feedback to the system, agriculturalists are able to monitor, adjust or preset functions from inside the cabin, thereby gaining a better overview of, e.g., the position of a tool or of current movement.
