RACO ELECTRIC ACTUATORS® FOR CIVIL PROTECTION & DEFENCE APPLICATIONS – EXPERTISE IN LINEAR ACTUATORS ON LAND, WATER, IN THE AIR AND IN SPACE
On-board power stability, temperature extremes, shock and vibration loads, highest protection requirements – linear actuators in security and defence technology are exposed to operating conditions that cannot be managed with standard solutions. Safety-related constraints require comprehensive documentation of evidence already during the engineering phase.
As an engineering partner, RACO takes full responsibility for the design and engineering of individually adapted electric actuator solutions for functional assemblies in weapons, vehicle and naval technology – delivering the right drive concept to OEMs, system integrators, and vehicle and shipbuilders, including all necessary calculations for tenders and specifications.
Key Benefits at a Glance

BALL SCREW DRIVES – PRECISION FROM IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION
The heart of our RACO Electric Actuators is a ball screw drive manufactured in-house. For drive systems where maximum precision in the smallest space is required, RACO offers fine mechanical components to perfection – proven in testing, simulation and aerospace applications.
CERTIFIED IN INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
All RACO components comply with the relevant EU directives as well as military standards. We are familiar with the applicable norms and accompany the testing of the drives we have developed, including the various tests carried out at accredited testing institutes.
Your partner for development and testing
From idea to prototype
RACO is your reliable partner for bespoke solutions in the field of security and defence technology.
We handle the project planning, including all necessary calculations for tenders, and develop prototypes and small-batch production runs in line with your individual requirements.
Using the RACOmatic® control system, we simulate and test precise motion profiles – even under extreme operating conditions.
