1. System description: Usage/type of applications: LINAK actuators, lifting columns and electronics have been developed for use in all places where a linear movement is required.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) LINAK considers ESD to be an important issue and years of experience have shown that equipment designed to meet the 8kV level specified in the Standards such as IEC 60601-1-2, EN50082-2 are insufficient to protect electronic equipment in certain enviroments. LINAK handles all Electro Static Discharge Sensitive devices (ESDS) according to EN61340 1. Handling and Mounting of ESDS devices.
IP Protection degree The products can be cleaned as follows according to their IP protection, which is stated on the product label. The IP code specifies the degrees of protection provided by the enclosures. For most products only the protection against ingress of water (second characteristic numeral) is specified, ingress of solid foreign objects or dust (first characteristic numeral) is not specified and therefore replaced by the letter X in the code.
IPX6 Washable - Description of washing test LINAK washable products are frequently put through a fully regulated washing test. LINAK understanding of the word washable is that the products conform to this test and none other. Reference: The Norm EN 60601-2-52, which includes special demands to fundamental safety and relevant functional characteristics for hospital beds. The demands for the washing process are described in the German “Maschinelle Dekontamination” from the organization AK-BWA.
LINAK washing profile according to EN60601-2-52 LINAK washing machine Cable Wash Before the washing procedure starts! In order to maintain the flexibility of the cables, it is important that the cable is placed in such a way that the cable’s own weight does not strain the coil during the washing process. This can be done by placing the cable ON the bed or another form of support for the cable.
Maintenance Valid for all LINAK products • The LINAK products must be cleaned at regular intervals to remove dust and dirt and inspected for mechanical damage, wear and breaks, - worn out parts must be replaced. • Inspection/maintenance intervals shall be defined by the equipment manufacturer • The LINAK products are closed units and require no internal maintenance. • Only type IPX6 is waterproof and type IPX6 Washable tolerates being washed in tunnels.
Insulation class LINAK control boxes are available in insulation class 1 and insulation class 2. Class 1 means with earth connection Class 2 means without earth connection When measuring the resistance in the earth connection in LINAK Control Boxes (class 1), it is recommended to use equipment, delivering a test current of no less than 5A. The resulting voltage will correspond to the resistance in the earth connection. Test currents below 5A, would yield no exact measurements.

8. LA30 (MEDLINE® CARELINE® TECHLINE®) The LA30 is a powerful actuator yet small enough to fit most applications. The actuator can be supplied with options such as built-in potentiometer for servo operation or an extra powerful motor for increased speed and strength (S-motor). In addition to industrial and agricultural applications, the actuator is also ideal for positioning satellite dishes. Reed-switch: The Reed-switch gives a number of pulses for each rotation of the motor.
9. LA31 (MEDLINE® CARELINE® The LA31 is a compact, quiet and powerful actuator designed for a variety of applications in the MEDLINE® & CARELINE® segment, such as hospital beds, couches and nursing home beds. The standard LA31 actuator features known parts such as piston rod eye with slot, and comes in different variations with e.g. fast motor, hall positioning and emergency lowering. The LA31 actuator has exchangeable cables and is ideal in combination with OpenBus™ control boxes.
Warning • If an LA31 is used in an application where there are repeated dynamic (push/pull) movements in the area 2000 – 4000 N, then it is necessary to contact LINAK A/S in order to make a correct specification of the actuator. Repeated push/pull movements cause extra strain to the actuator and can give safety considerations, the consequence being possible damage to the actuator. • The LA31 actuator must not be exposed to more than 4000 N in pull.
10. LA32 (MEDLINE® CARELINE®) The LA32 actuator is a powerful actuator that can be supplied with a ball screw spindle to give outstanding performance. The ideal choice for a wide range of applications including adjustment of hospital beds. The LA32 actuator has many special options including a safety nut, splines, quick release (F) and an optional protection up to IPX6 standard. Reed-switch: The Reed-switch gives a number of pulses for each rotation of the motor.
Mechanical spline: The splines function so that the actuator can only push, not pull. During pull in the actuator, the inner tube is lifted off the thread bush, and the actuator can therefore never pull a load, only push. See figure 8. Functional test of mechanical splines: When the piston rod is at the innermost position, it must be possible to pull it out manually to its full travel length and to press it in again without much resistance and without using the motor.
Warning An LA34 actuator is not designed for repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements. This cause extra strain to the actuator and can give safety considerations, the consequence being possible damage to the actuator. Therefore, if repeated dynamic push-to-pull movements are essential for the application, perform tests to validate the performance and use a steel piston rod eye (contact LINAK A/S).

4. Information on specific columns 1. BB3 (MEDLINE® CARELINE®) The BB3 3-part telescopic actuator is the ideal choice for vertical lift of beds where design and easy integration in the customer’s guidance ensures optimum freedom of design. The BB3 is a 3-part telescopic actuator designed to meet EN 1970 for care beds, which demands an adjustment range from 350 mm up to 750 mm. Reed-switch: The Reed-switch gives a number of pulses for each rotation of the motor.
BL1 end plate kit without cable through: Top plate dimensions: Bottom plate dimensions: BL1 end plate kit with cable through: Bottom plate dimensions: Top plate dimensions: Motor cable Hand control cable Hand control cable Please notice the thickness of the bottom plate is 12 mm. The thickness of the bottom plate without connections is 10 mm.
Bottom plate dimensions: Motor cable Drawing no.: 0801263-A BL1 Mounting guidelines: • BL1 is for use in push applications, and can be mounted in both directions (smallest profile down, or up). Note: The cable outlet can be positioned at the top (smallest profile). If the option with integrated cable is chosen, the cable outlet can also be positioned at the bottom (biggest profile). • It is very simple to mount the BL1 in the application using the 4 mounting holes in both endplates.
Mounting of BL1 with cable through: Mounting holes Mounting holes Drain hole Drain hole Mounting holes Mounting holes Drawing no.: 0807001-1 The mounting plate in the application must cover the entire top plate of the BL1 and be strong enough to carry the load. Remember to secure the cable mounted in the top of the column to the application, so that it cannot be pulled out of the column.
3. BL4 (MEDLINE® CARELINE®) The BL4 is a 4-part lifting column specially designed for hospital and care beds; the BL4 can of course be used for other applications where a compact lifting column with a long stroke length is needed. The lifting column is based on the BB3 actuator, which is practically noiseless. The specifications comply with the demands to the lifting functions in beds as to load, speed and stroke length. Reed-switch: Reed-switch gives a number of pulses for each rotation of the motor.
BL4 Mounting guidelines: • The BL4 must always be mounted vertically before operation and always vertical with the motor housing uppermost. (Otherwise, the internal end-stop switch system can break due to rotation). • Both the motor housing and the bottom tube (the one with the largest diameter) must be secured in the application in such a way that no rotation can occur. • It is recommended to monitor the current consumption in order to determine the necessary tensioning force for the mounting bracket.
The reason why it is important only to fix one column is that the columns will not move exactly in parallel – even if you have positioning such as hall. If you have trend/antitrend function in your application you need to mount one or more of the BL4s with a slider. Having sliders prevents the column from bending like illustrated below. If more than one column is fixed, it can lead to dangerous situations. LINAK mounting bracket part no.
4. LC2 (MEDLINE® CARELINE® TECHLINE®) The LC2 column is an update of the LP2 programme. It has an improved “twisting” stability and end-stop switches as standard. The column is designed to be used in a vertical position and only for lifting purposes. It is not possible to use the column in any kind of “pull” application. Depending on the application, the LC2 can be operated either as a single column or several columns in a parallel system by choosing a control box with microprocessor.
6. LP3 (MEDLINE® CARELINE® TECHLINE®) The LP3 is developed for vertical lifts and can resist a bending moment by virtue of the effective telescopic system. The lifting column is designed for applications where a small installation dimension is requested without compromising the lifting capacity. The LP3 is characterised by having a lower installation dimension proportional to the stroke length compared to the LP2. The LP3 can also attain a higher speed than the LP2.
5. Information on specific control boxes Please be aware if the control box is not visible after mounting, all information regarding limitation of use shall be marked on the end product. Output voltage On control boxes connected to the mains the voltage of the actuator output is dependent on load, and the no-load voltage can reach 50 V. Control boxes connected to a battery can reach a voltage of 30 V during charging and no load.
1. CA30/CA40 (MEDLINE® CARELINE®) The control boxes CA30 and CA40 are developed as part of a new control box platform for the care and rehab industry. The control boxes can be mounted separately on the application by means of unique slide-on brackets, but also on several actuator models using a specially designed actuator bracket. Usage: • Duty cycle: 10 % - 2/18 min. on/off continuos use.
Mounting instructions (Example CA30-CA40 with LA40) When mounting the control box onto the actuator (1) Simply slide on the bracket until you hear a clear click (2) Slide on the control box until you hear a click and the box is mounted (3) CA30-CA40 - mounted on frame: Service lid Integrated hinge Removable if needed Release hook 3-way cable exit Easy-mount bracket Very small built-in dimension: Height: Min.
Mounting bracket (frame flat) It is recommended that the CA30/CA40 is mounted in a position that allows water to escape. Recommended torque: 0.6 Nm +/-0.1 The bracket can be mounted to the bed frame or any other application by means of one of the following mounting procedures: 1) M6 nut to be placed in bracket and fixed with M6 bolt from the rear side. 2) M5 machine screw with flat washer to be fixed through bracket with nut on the rear side.
Mounting of cables and cable lock: The control boxes CA30/CA40 have a uniquely designed cable lid. The lid also works as an integrated cable lock when closed. 1) Mount cable plugs in control box 2) Close lid until lock snaps into place (see arrows) To allow free access to the cables, the lid has a rest position when completely opened. It is possible to remove the lid by lifting it a few degrees and pulling it away from the housing under tight mounting conditions.
