Sail in safe waters with LINAK

Share:

LINAK’s R&D department pays special attention to designing actuators for the marine sector, so that they work perfectly in typical sailing environments, ensuring performance, comfort and safety in adverse weather and working conditions.

Ergonomic design, innovative materials, performance, elegance, and respect for the environment: these are the cornerstones that guide boat designers in modern shipyards.

Other priorities include low-polluting engines, reduced fuel consumption, and greater use of carbon fiber (which, while more expensive, is lighter than fiberglass and easier to dispose of).

More generally, it is essential for the shipyard industry to meet the objectives of the UN 2030 Agenda and the EU Green Deal, which aim to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

BOAT AUTOMATION

Another essential feature on modern boats is boat automation systems: an increasingly common feature on the latest-generation yachts, ensuring flawless sailing performance.

Many areas of navigation are now affected by home automation solutions: from automated awnings and lights for boats and steamships, to integrated climate, access, and security management.
Thanks to home automation, the vessel is managed in an integrated and intelligent way, allowing you to experience the sea with the safety and comfort of a home.

LINAK PRODUCTS’ ADVANTAGES

In today’s modern vessels, LINAK offers a valuable contribution: its electric actuator solutions are perfectly suited to the latest generation of high-performance yachts and boats.

LINAK products are designed to be integrated into a vessel’s interior to adjust features such as engine hatches, skylights, ergonomic helm and seating positions, and swim platforms.

In addition to build quality and performance, their key features include high reliability and resistance to even the harshest climates. The company’s systems operate flawlessly for years, without the costly routine maintenance typical of hydraulic systems, ensuring optimal and environmentally friendly operation.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Furthermore, unlike hydraulic systems, LINAK electric linear actuators are not subject to leaks of highly polluting materials due to failure, wear, or lack of maintenance. For example, 4 kg of used oil spilled into water can pollute an area the size of a football field.

Lubricants used on boats, if spilled into the sea due to leaks, failure, or malicious intent, can become a powerful pollutant that destroys marine flora and fauna through asphyxiation; with LINAK products, these risks are eliminated.

Furthermore, they have low standby power consumption, meaning they suffer less wear when not in use, significantly increasing the product’s lifespan.
