Linear actuators are versatile devices used to convert rotational motion into precise linear movement, making them integral to applications in assistive and ergonomic workplaces.
These systems provide reliable height and positional adjustments for hospital beds, therapy couches, patient transporters, ergonomics chair, and assistive devices. Their durability, safety, and adaptability contribute significantly to enhancing both patient care and caregiver efficiency.
Enhanced Accessibility and Independence
Allows seamless adjustments, enabling users with disabilities to perform tasks like reaching sinks or joining peers at floor level, as highlighted in the design of Rifton’s Activity Chair.
Precision and Safety
Advanced linear actuator models, such as the RH 1250, feature integrated flow control valves and safety mechanisms to prevent overload and ensure smooth, uniform motion. The selflocking capabilities of certain models also maintain position during power failure, enhancing safety in critical environments.
Ease of Use and Versatility
Actuators like the RA 600 and RA 60 K offer optional manual or automated control via hand panels, foot switches, or even integration with control systems like LIN or CAN. These capabilities enable rapid, precise adjustments to accommodate diverse activities and ergonomic needs.
Cost-Effectiveness and Customization
Case studies such as Rifton’s collaboration with ROEMHELD demonstrates the cost-saving potential of sourcing high-quality, customizable actuators.
Tailored solutions meet specific needs, from stroke lengths to advanced measurement systems, ensuring optimal functionality without compromising quality.

Safety in motion is not limited to the end-users of mobility devices but extends to the healthcare
workers and factory employees who build and maintain these critical tools. ROEMHELD’s extensive
range of ergonomic products can play a pivotal role in reducing workplace injuries, improving
efficiency, and fostering healthier work environments.
Healthcare
In healthcare settings, products like adjustable hospital beds and therapy couches integrate
actuators for smooth, gentle transitions, prioritizing patient safety and comfort. These precise
movements help prevent sudden shifts that could result in injury, while also reducing strain on
healthcare workers tasked with patient handling.
Industrial
In industrial applications, ROEMHELD’s ergonomic solution: moduhub provide easy handling and
assembly at optimum position with secure height-adjustable workstations that rotate, tilt, move with
ease preventing injuries from repetitive manual handling.
