Window Automation Actuators

Our linear and chain actuators from UCS, Elero and TOPP have been used in window and skylight automation throughout Southern Africa in homes and offices.

Window automation and natural ventilation systems ensures energy saving, comfort and safety in buildings through integration in Building Management Systems. We offer customised solutions for electric actuators to access even the largest and heaviest windows.

Applications: Skylights & domes, top-hung windows, bottom-hung windows.

Smoke/Heat Extraction & Natural Ventilation

Smoke and heat extraction actuators are designed to rapidly extract smoke and hot gases in the event of a fire, reducing the risk of smoke inhalation and allowing for safe evacuation of building occupants. UCS's actuators comply with strict international safety regulations, including EN12101-2, and are CE-certified.

Natural ventilation actuators are designed to ensure optimal indoor air quality and reducing energy costs. Studies have shown that natural ventilation can reduce energy consumption in buildings by up to 40%, making it an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective option.

Applications: Top-hung windows, bottom-hung windows, side-hung windows, roof windows & dome skylights.

Actuators for Industrial Applications

Heavy duty linear actuators are a critical component in many industrial applications, providing precise and efficient linear motion for a wide range of machinery and equipment. We offer a comprehensive range of linear actuators for industrial use from Raco & Phoenix Mecano, designed to meet the most demanding requirements for load capacity, length, and thrust. Our linear actuators can handle loads of up to 3 tons and up to 3m long, with thrust ranging from 1kN to 900kN. Our team can work with you to determine the best linear actuator solution for your specific needs, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in your operations.

Linear Actuators for Façade & Pergolas

Linear actuators are a perfect solution for the automation of facades and pergolas. Our linear actuators from our partner Elero can be used in a variety of different applications to enhance the functionality of outdoor living spaces.

Whether you want to control the amount of sun exposure or create a sheltered area from the wind and rain, Elero's linear actuators are the perfect choice for any outdoor space. Their sleek design and powerful operation can easily and automatically move facades and pergolas to create a comfortable and enjoyable outdoor experience.

Linear Actuators for Solar Tracking

We provide linear actuators solutions for solar tracking to achieve accurate positioning to get optimal exposure of the sun.

Actuators for the solar industry enable controlled movement of solar panels which includes tilting of panels on a single or dual axis.

Our linear actuators have been specially developed for solar photovoltaic systems (Elevation and Azimuth). This combination significantly increases the efficiency of complex solar tracking systems and ensures a quicker amortisation of investment costs.

Actuators for Medical Applications

Our linear actuators are used in hospital beds, which help in raising and lowering the of bed, or to reposition sections. Furthermore, actuators used in hospital lifts to control their movements and help move patients.

Recliners and dental chairs are often automated and powered by actuator systems.

Scanners: CT, MRI, and PT scanning instruments are used in hospitals, clinics, and palliative care units for examination and diagnosis purposes. These scanners are powered with linear actuators, which allow easy movement in any direction.
