Facilitating the life of the boater
Linak electric actuators find a variety of applications aboard pleasure boats. From TV elevators to modular sunbeds to saloon table legs, the actuator adds functionality and new configurations to the layout. By allowing the opening of engine covers or the tender garage and by ensuring the movements of a tenderlift or a bathing platform, it relieves the efforts of boaters. "Linak brings a real comfort by switching from manual to electric on the boat, as we can see on mirrors or car trunks" illustrates Olivier Laonet, business manager for boating at Linak.
Simplification and robustness for the construction of boats
Linak cylinders, made of 316 L stainless steel, are suitable for use in the marine environment, both inside and outside the boat. "Our products are IP66 and IP69K. They have been tested in salt spray", says the sales manager. The use of electrical energy simplifies installations on board boats by allowing the use of the existing network and saving the installation of a network and a hydraulic power station. The work of boat builders is simplified. The presence of an international support network for Linak products guarantees peace of mind for the builder and the boater.
A step towards automation and home automation on board
Linak actuators integrate the BUS communication protocol. This allows shipyards to integrate the actuators into the current on-board networks to offer boaters automated functions and a first step towards home automation on board their boats. "We can imagine safety functions such as blocking the movement of the bathing platform if a crew member is present, or comfort uses such as automatically switching from a "navigation" mode to an "anchoring" mode, automatically taking out the television, tilting the pilot seat towards the saloon and lowering the bathing platform with a single command", explains Olivier Laonet.
