MECVEL SIGNS THE “SLIDING DOORS” REMAKE: SLIDING DOORS ONLY WITH OUR LINEAR ACTUATORS!

COMPANY OVERVIEW Since 1987 MecVel develops and manufactures a wide range of AC and DC linear actuators entirely Made in Italy, constantly updated according to market requests, designed and customized in order to meet each customer need. By virtue of years of experience and technical knowledge MecVel is able to offer complete solutions for all sorts of applications, also thanks to the important role of the new technologies applied. MecVel in fact follows the entire process, starting from a specific need, through planning and designing, till shipment and installation in the designed place.

LINEAR ACTUATORS: DEFINITION & ROLE Linear actuators are electromechanical devices that convert the rotatory motion of a motor into a linear movement, allowing lifting, adjusting, rotating of any load simply through a button: the motor starts to move a threaded stem on which runs a nut. The nut, linked to the rotation, produces the linear movement of this stem. Depending on the kind of construction and the drive and control system, actuators can work as on/off devices, in push and pull, or as servomechanisms.

LINEAR ACTUATORS: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE To choose an actuator correctly, according to the kind of application required, some information are necessary. The followings are the main features required to identify the right product: Length of the stroke: the useful linear excursion the actuator must have Power supply: single-phase, three-phase, DC, AC, 12V, 24V Force: the weight to be moved, and consequently the force the actuator must apply to make possible the required movement Speed: of the handling, so the time required to the actuator to complete the stroke Control: the use of limit switches, potentiometer or encoder is fundamental to set the actuator in order to provide a feedback to the operator regarding the resistance, the handling, the movement accuracy and precision during the process

LINEAR ACTUATORS: MECVEL CUSTOMIZATION SERVICE To remember also the customization service provided by MecVel, reflected in the possibility to configure any actuator according to the specific application needs. It is simply required to establish force, speed and stroke desired to get the product and the most appropriate solution to meet any handling request.

JUST 3 TIPS TO CHOOSE MECVEL SOLUTIONS FOR OPENING DOORS AND SHADING SYSTEMS Design trough light control Energy efficiency and health Safety (in particular industrial environments) MecVel opening doors and shading systems provide world-class engineering, versatility and functionality, together with high performance. Combinable with all sorts of flaps, these systems can be realized with a wide range of linear actuators, usually equipped with different kind of limit switches and stroke control devices (encoder or potentiometer). Mainly dedicated to wide windows and sliding doors, these systems allow both horizontal and vertical orientation of flaps.

DESIGN THROUGH LIGHT CONTROL Don’t underestimate the value of visual comfort and personal control: decide to preserve the privacy or let the natural light flow into the room, just setting the degree of opacity/light desired, and MecVel linear actuators will act on sheers, shades, shutters, blinds or doors in order to satisfy your requests. Discover how it’s easy build an innovative and comfortable environment shaped by one of the main and natural elements, using your creativity and furnishing with style, also thanks to our products.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND HEALTH Avoid useless heating or cooling, and energy leakages, through doors and windows with one of the sun protection and control system provided by MecVel: set it to lock the cold outside during winter, or to avoid the UV radiation during summer. This shading system allows also managing how much daylight falls on the workspace, for example eliminating unwanted glare and reflection from PC screens. This is one of the best solution to improve productivity and gain in terms of thermal comfort, in addition to energy saving. MecVel uses these kinds of systems also in hospitals, to allow patients to benefit of natural light, or protect them when needed.

SAFETY Regarding in particular opening doors or gates systems, MecVel has developed a solution for special conditions and particular environments, such as the opening of industrial doors or the nuclear field, where are required: high security systems of opening/closing doors or gates, but also the locking of doors or gates, together with high speed and precision.

MOST SUITABLE MECVEL LINEAR ACTUATORS ALI2 linear actuator Max force: N Max speed: 110 mm/s AC or DC motor L02 linear actuator Max force: N Max speed: 100 mm/s DC motor L03 linear actuator Max force: N Max speed: 30 mm/s DC motor L03-G linear actuator (for opening gates systems) Max force: N Max speed: 5 mm/s DC motor EC series and ECV9092 linear actuators (for special conditions) Max force: up to N Max speed: up to 230 mm/s AC motor

TECHNICAL DETAILS REGARDING MECVEL LINEAR ACTUATORS RANGE In all these kind of applications, MecVel provides also particular details specifically designed for these systems, such as special painting to protect the product. MecVel in fact offers an optimal solution even regarding the protection of products involved in the toughest environments, and wherever it’s needed to prevent the premature destruction of the surfaces: a complete formulation able to react against damaging effects, and to resist at the exposure to extremely aggressive agents, in order to extend the life of the application and preserve all the elements part of it. MecVel products in fact operate both inside and outside of buildings.
