When the going gets tough – the tough keep going
For applications that are reliable and long-lasting, you need solutions that can go the distance. Designed for peak endurance, the LA76 has the staying power to outperform the competition. With its tried and tested extended lifetime, it keeps performing when others fall short.
Flexible and smart
It is not just endurance that the LA76 delivers – it is flexible and smart too. With a choice of 24 V or 48 V, an integrated controller and a wide range of industrial interfaces, we put more installation options on the table. And for today’s increasingly data-hungry applications, the actuator provides information for planning maintenance, diagnostics and troubleshooting that dramatically cuts service costs.
More cycles, less cost
It is hard to find an electric linear movement solution that both meets extended lifetime requirements while remaining affordable: normal choices include servo drives and standard actuators, both of which add to the bottom line; either from high initial outlay or costly end-of-life replacement. With the LA76 we make it possible to both drive costs down while adding to an application’s lifetime.
“The LA76 actuator has been tested to perform a minimum of 200,000 cycles at maximum load and maximum duty cycle. The worst possible conditions. This roughly extends its working life to around 20x that of conventional actuators on the market. This considerable increase is primarily due to the incorporation of a brushless motor, which takes us to new heights in long-term reliability and performance,” says Soren Buck, Business Development Manager at LINAK.
In the majority of application cases, this is more than enough to deliver long-lasting confidence with less service and downtime.
Plug and play saves valuable time
For the increasing number of 48 V applications, conventional actuator solutions are not easy to integrate and install. With regular 24 V actuators, a converter module was required to transform the voltage from 48 V to 24 V. The LA76 needs no converter as it comes 48 V-ready, requiring less installation time. And the same goes for the communications options. With built-in LINAK I/O® interface and the protocols CANopen®, CAN SAE J1939®, IO-Link®, Modbus® RTU, LIN bus, EtherNet/IP™ and Modbus® TCP/IP , it is easy to match actuator with application – without the need for a converter.
“Cutting down the costly time it takes our customers to integrate a solution has also played a part in the design of our LA76 actuator. This plug-and-play solution with fewer components also means less costly service and downtime for application users,” says Soren Buck.
Integrated control for data and troubleshooting
With a standard actuator solution, it is not possible to get advanced data such as cycle count, error messages, amp usage and speed, making it hard to troubleshoot. The LA76 simplifies troubleshooting by providing access to all relevant data. This is enabled through a range of protocols supported by various fieldbus and industrial Ethernet interfaces, as well as the LINAK I/O interface.
Precision control – without external sensors
Getting precision control in your application using a conventional actuator involves the time and cost of installing and integrating external position sensors to your system. The LA76 integrated controller and interfaces allow for precision control without the need for external sensors.
Staying power that delivers
Our LA76 actuator delivers long-lasting, trouble-free performance that increases uptime even in harsh operating conditions. Fewer components make it simple to install, while reducing service. A choice of interfaces and motor supply voltages offer application flexibility, and an integrated controller provides data for swift troubleshooting.
