According to the WHO 1.9bn people worldwide are overweight – and the number continues to grow. This poses a big challenge to the entire healthcare sector and the adjustable equipment it uses. Hospital beds will be particularly affected by this as the need for more power and advanced movement increases in order to carry heavier working loads safely.
Equipping hospital beds with the new OpenBus™ control box CO71 (350W SMPS, four channels) and the robust actuator LA40 HP (8,000 N), LINAK® offers you the power you need and provides the advanced movement patterns required to meet these challenges.
CO71 – a new powerful control box
Adding a 350W SMPS control box to your hospital bed will give you more power in systems, where extra power and high performance are needed. The CO71 is the latest addition to the LINAK control box platform. It is enabled for Bluetooth® wireless operation and comes with the advantages of easy cable management, flexible mounting direction, low weight, and an IPX6 Washable DURA™ rating.
All CO boxes are easy to mount and can be delivered with an optional battery backup, ensuring high flexibility when designing the hospital bed. Furthermore, the CO71 is ready for CO-Link™ when extra channels are required to create advanced movement patterns. All managed with just one hand control.
LA40 HP – when power and speed are required
The linear actuator LA40 HP is an extremely durable actuator perfectly suited for hospital beds. With a sturdy push of up to 8,000 N @ 400 mm full-stroke, it carries even heavy loads with ease. It comes with a number of safety features that, in combination with its sheer power, creates a high level of efficiency in the healthcare environment.

Because we test far more than norms and standards require, we have set our own high standards – IPX6 Washable DURA™. This means that your hospital bed application can withstand repetitive machine washing far beyond current market requirements.
