LINAK is a global manufacturer of electric linear actuator systems designed to automate movement and enhance comfort across the yachting industry. With over 30 years of engineering experience, the company provides robust solutions for modern boat design, allowing for the remote control and adjustment of both exterior and interior elements.

By replacing traditional hydraulic or pneumatic systems with electric actuators, the company offers a cleaner, maintenance-free alternative that eliminates the risk of oil spills and simplifies installation.

The LINAK’s products are specifically engineered to endure the corrosive nature of saltwater and high UV exposure. Every actuator undergoes rigorous testing, including 500-hour salt spray trials and high IP-rating certifications, ensuring long-term reliability for blue-water sailing. These intelligent movement solutions allow builders to optimize limited on-board space and improve the overall ergonomics of a yacht.

Primary Marine Applications

  • Exterior Automation: Precise control of heavy hatches, skylights, and engine room doors, as well as the adjustment of bathing platforms and mast braces.
  • Interior Comfort: Integrated movement for height-adjustable tables, TV lifts, and seating, allowing for a seamless transition between dining and lounging configurations.
  • Steering and Navigation: Support for automated steering components and helm adjustments that integrate directly with the boat’s central control systems.
  • Deck Equipment: Durable actuators for folding sun awnings, ladders, and storage compartments that require reliable operation in harsh weather.

By providing global technical support throughout the design phase, the company helps shipyards implement versatile automation that is easy to integrate into existing ship architectures. This focus on durability and space utilization makes the business a key partner for builders looking to deliver a high-performance, automated experience at sea.
