Linear actuators turn rotary motion into controlled push and pull: self-locking electric drives that hold position without power, replacing pneumatics and hydraulics in a growing range of tasks. DNH pairs Phoenix Mecano's RK Rose+Krieger linear units and actuators, from short-stroke cylinders to 25,000 N heavy-duty drives, with elero's German-made actuator range for industry, agriculture, and active facades.
Key advantages
No power at standstill: electric actuators hold position, a clean alternative to pneumatics and hydraulics.
From a 200 N miniature actuator to elero's Vario 2 with 100,000 N extreme load capacity.
Linear units with spindle, belt, or rack-and-pinion drive cover strokes from 50 mm to 50,000 mm.
Standard units can be modified on consultation; both brands develop application-specific actuators.

Phoenix Mecano: Linear Actuators
Linear units are used in automation and machine engineering. From simple adjustments to highly complex, precise, and dynamic multi-axis systems. Every task is different, and each demands a technically sound and cost-effective solution. The wide range of RK linear units reflects the diversity of applications.
Phoenix Mecano: Linear Actuators
Linear actuators are self-locking drives, which means that no power is supplied when at a standstill. This makes electric linear actuators an interesting alternative to pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. Phoenix Mecano has a wide range of linear actuators, from the simple short-stroke cylinder to the heavy-duty linear actuators, highly dynamic, extremely precise and individually configurable. The standard linear actuators can be modified following consultation.
elero: Light-Duty Industrial
elero offers innovative linear actuator solutions for standard industrial and active facade applications. Operable facade elements should improve the interior climate, save energy or even produce energy, and accentuate the individuality and exclusivity of the building project. In agricultural technology, the same compact actuators handle electrically actuated control tasks.
elero: Heavy-Duty Industrial
elero develops reliable actuators with extremely compact design meeting the requirements especially in the mechanical engineering and plant manufacturing sectors. Speed, strength and installation dimensions are perfectly coordinated to achieve a 100% ideal solution.
elero: Linear Actuators for Facades & Pergolas
Slim, weather-resistant linear actuators and concealed rotary louver drives bring facades, pergolas, and louvered roofs to life, moving elements in aluminium, glass, stainless steel, or photovoltaic panels. The smooth cylinder movement and constant speed also make these actuators ideal for solar power systems with sun tracking, positioning panels precisely as the sun moves.
Why these brands
DNH supplies two complementary ranges. Phoenix Mecano's RK Rose+Krieger programme covers the automation end: motorised linear units for multi-axis systems, and self-locking actuators in performance classes from short-stroke cylinders to 25,000 N heavy-duty drives, all individually configurable. elero builds German-made actuators with compact dimensions for industry, agriculture, and active facades, from 2,000 N push-rod units to the 100,000 N Vario 2, plus concealed louver drives for architectural projects
Choose Phoenix Mecano for precision automation, positioning, and multi-axis systems. Choose elero where compact dimensions, weather resistance, and facade or agricultural duty lead the specification. DNH supports and advises on selection and supply.
