Project Overview
The Height Adjustable Bench project for Babcock International involved the implementation of a specialized linear actuator system designed to raise and lower a series of benches surrounding the swimming pool on the luxury yacht VAVA II. This intricate system was crucial for transforming the pool area into a dance floor by lowering the surrounding bench and raising the pool floor.
Challenges Faced
The key challenges included:
- Specific Requirements: The need for a linear actuator with precise specifications, including a 500mm stroke, 6000N force, and 5mm/s speed.
- Synchronization: Each system required synchronization of either 2 or 3 actuators for seamless operation.
- Versatility: The unit needed to be fitted with potentiometer feedback and end-of-stroke limit switch feedback for accurate positioning.
- Environment and Reliability: Long-term reliability was essential, with high ingress protection, considering the marine environment of the luxury yacht.
Solutions Implemented
To address these challenges, Industrial Devices provided the Lambda linear actuator with the following solutions:
- IP66 Protection: The Lambda linear actuator was supplied with IP66 protection, ensuring resistance to water and dust in the challenging marine environment.
- Reliability: The units have proven to be highly reliable with no product-related failures, designed for 100,000 operations at full load.
- Temperature Resilience: The Lambda units were tested to operate in temperatures ranging from -35⁰C to +90⁰C, showcasing their adaptability to various conditions.
Results Achieved
The implementation of the Lambda linear actuator led to the following outcomes:
- Precision and Accuracy: The linear actuators successfully achieved the required stroke, force, and speed specifications, ensuring precise adjustment of the benches and pool floor.
- Synchronization Success: The synchronized operation of 2 or 3 actuators in each system enabled seamless transformations of the pool area.
- Reliability in Demanding Conditions: The Lambda units demonstrated high reliability, meeting the demand for long-term performance in the challenging marine environment.
