Key features and benefits
Smooth transitions to ensure patient safety and comfort
During the transition from a horizontal to an upright position on a standing bed, the patient's center of gravity and the distribution of forces on their body are constantly changing. Any jolts or swaying may cause the patient anxiety and fear, or even result in secondary injury. Our electric linear actuator provides constant-speed, jerk-free linear motion throughout the entire process—from a 0° horizontal position to an upright position of over 80°—ensuring a smooth, gradual, and controllable transition. Patients complete the transition from lying down to standing without even realizing it, significantly enhancing their sense of security and compliance.
Progressive angle control—tailored to the training requirements of different rehabilitation stages
Patients at different stages of rehabilitation exhibit significant variations in their tolerance for standing angles. In the early stages, patients' cardiovascular systems have been in a horizontal position for an extended period; sudden upright positioning can lead to a sharp drop in blood pressure (postural hypotension), while the bones and muscles of the lower limbs have not yet adapted to bearing weight. Training must therefore begin at a low angle of 30°, allowing the cardiovascular system to gradually adapt to the redistribution of blood flow in the upright position, while enabling the muscles and bones of the lower limbs to progressively regain their weight-bearing capacity.
Our linear actuators provide precise stroke control and stepless angle adjustment, enabling therapists to incrementally raise the bed surface from 30° to 80° in accordance with the patient's rehabilitation progress.
Multiple safety features safeguard every standing exercise session
As standing exercises involve significant changes to the patient's posture, safety is the top priority. Our electric linear actuators are equipped with multiple safety mechanisms:
● Soft start and stop: speed transitions smoothly at the start and end of operation to prevent inertial impact
● Overload protection: automatically stops in the event of overload to protect both the equipment and the patient
● Power-failure lock: the actuator automatically locks in the event of a sudden power cut, preventing the bed panel from dropping unexpectedly
High load capacity, effortlessly supporting the patient's weight
When the standing bed is in the upright position, the patient's entire body weight is transferred via the bed panel to the actuator system, generating significant thrust requirements and bending moments. Our electric actuators provide ample thrust reserve, effortlessly supporting the standing training needs of patients of varying weights. The actuators use a high-strength transmission structure, ensuring smooth and stable movement even under heavy loads at maximum tilt angles.
Built-in Hall sensors enable precise control for customers
Our actuators feature built-in Hall sensors that provide real-time feedback on stroke position and operational status via pulse signals. Customers' control systems can use this data to accurately monitor the bed panel's real-time angle, enabling intelligent functions such as angle memory, progressive training, and safety alerts. The real-time feedback from the Hall sensors provides a reliable positional reference for the precise control of every standing exercise.
