Testing - TECHLINE Tech and Trends

It is important that all our products have been tested inside and out, and to the extreme in a range of tests that include twisting, vibration and shock, chemical baths, salt vapors, water spray, and severe high and low temperatures for days, weeks, months, and years on end.

Learn more about the specific tests in the following videos below.

Ingress Protection testing of an electric actuator for industrial use

Industry actuators must resist and operate reliably in environments where they are exposed to water, dust, and, in some cases, high-pressure cleaning at high temperatures. We test the actuators for both fluid and dust ingress.

Climatic tests – ingress protection (IP)
It is crucial that LINAK industry actuators are able to resist and operate reliably in environments where they are exposed to water, dust, and, in some cases, high-pressure cleaning at high temperatures. This is why we test for IP degrees.

Shock testing an electric actuator for industrial use

Actuators must perform in dynamic and challenging environments. In our test centre, we subject the actuators to both vibrations, shock/bump and drop tests.

Performance tests – vibrations and shocks
This is an important test, as it ensures that the actuators are able to perform effectively amidst constant vibration in off-highway equipment and other machinery.

At LINAK, we always test more than required to ensure high product quality and reliability.

Salt and chemical tests of an electric actuator for industrial use

The actuators are exposed to the adverse effects of, for example, salt vapors, chemical substances, diesel oil, hydraulic fluid, and more. All these substances affect both the plastic and metal parts of the actuators, which is why we put them through very harsh environmental tests.

Climatic tests – salt and chemicals

To ensure a long service life for industrial actuators in highly corrosive environments, we expose them to the adverse effects of salt and chemicals in a humid environment—a combination that truly puts the actuators to the test.

Durability test

Mechanical durability testing of electric actuators for industrial use

It is important that actuators can perform optimally throughout their entire service life. All actuators, regardless of size or model, undergo durability testing.

Performance testing – mechanical durability
Testing an actuator’s mechanical durability ensures you can trust it to perform optimally throughout its entire service life. All actuators, regardless of size or model, undergo durability testing. We always aim for the highest possible number of cycles.

Climatic tests – temperature and humidity Testing in environments with fluctuating temperatures and humidity guarantees reliable performance of actuators in the harshest climatic conditions. Also, special test patterns such as dunk tests are used to cover very demanding applications in the test plan.

Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC
LINAK industry actuators are tested for electromagnetic compatibility in accordance with a wide range of industrial standards. This is done to ensure actuator immunity to electromagnetic interference, and to certify that radiated emissions from the actuator do not affect the industrial machinery.
