Electric actuators for boats are becoming increasingly central in the industry. Demanding, hi-tech and very innovation-oriented: these are the characteristics of the Italian marine market. According to the latest survey by Confindustria Nautica, the tricolor nautical industry stands out for its strong propensity to foreign markets: with an export rate of 90%, the Italian production of new pleasure craft confirms its world leadership in superyachts – with more than half of global orders – as well as in the segments of large pneumatic units, components and accessories.
The marine industry also appreciates electric linear motion, enjoying it in numerous applications.
Many advantages
In this context, over the years, the actuators and electric columns proposed and distributed in the Belpaese by LINAK ITALIA S.r.l. have proven to be an excellent alternative to traditional oleo-pneumatic pistons: they are more reliable and perform better, as they require significantly reduced costs and maintenance time. In addition, LINAK’s marine automation solutions exhibit greater energy efficiency, as their operation does not require continuous pumping of fluids, relying solely on electricity.
They also represent a choice that encourages respect for the environment: the release of oily substances into the sea or other natural environments, accidental or otherwise, is eliminated with the use of systems that take advantage of electric linear motion.
Ease of installation
And what about installation? LINAK’s linear actuators for marine industry are easier to install than other systems because they do not require piping, tanks, valves, regulators and couplings to control the hydraulic fluid, thus reducing the overall complexity of the system and the possible risk of failure. In addition, integration into existing electrical/electronic systems is greatly facilitated. Control accuracy and durability are also important added values, as is consistent performance in the most critical working environments and extreme weather conditions.
Customizable products
Let’s also not forget that LINAK’s actuators and lifting columns can be adopted into a new project, or they can be integrated into the back-fitting program of an existing vessel. They support numerous programming languages and are customizable with multiple parameters, including voltage, thrust, feedback, end-stroke, thus succeeding in enhancing a variety of projects, even the most ambitious. This is especially relevant in the development of sustainable marine technology, where precision and energy efficiency are essential.
Customer service
Finally, we would like to remind you that Italian boat builders and shipyards do not cooperate with LINAK ITALIA exclusively for the performance of its products, but also and especially for the service.
In fact, the LINAK ITALIA team punctually supports customers at every stage of their projects, from the early stages of prototyping to after-sales service, offering advice, counseling, timely responses and valuable human relations. With LINAK, you don’t just buy a product—you gain a partner for yacht innovation.
