- Experienced partner with a global presence
Wheelchair users are highly dependent on their chair to perform perfectly in various everyday tasks. Generally, wheelchair users want to live a normal life without constant help from carers. Electric actuators create the movement users cannot perform on their own and provide a very robust application able to minimize the inconvenience from disability. Everything from adjusting chair height to optimizing leg rests or changing the backrest position helps improve ergonomics.
Every LINAK product is tested thoroughly prior to release. This is not only done to secure international medical approvals, but also to make it easier for manufacturers to comply with high contemporary requirements in wheelchair testing.
Create strong yet smooth and low-noise movement
Electric actuators have many advantages. Most obvious is the almost noiseless movement and smooth motion coordination between actuators. LINAK actuators feature positioning feedback, making them compatible with other control units and delivering safer and more efficient movement. The compact design means actuators can fit in where room is scarce, affording freedom of design while still respecting ergonomics and comfort in wheelchairs.
