RACO ELECTRIC ACTUATORS INFRASTRUCTURE- EXPERTISE FOR LOCKS, DAMS, BRIDGES, AND FERRY PIERS.
We are experts in operations pertaining to movable steel structures. As your partner and consultant, RACO takes on the project planning with all the necessary calculations for verification in bid proposals and/or in accordance with the specifications. Special attention is paid to customized adaptations, as well as the extreme operating conditions in terms of: ambient temperature, protection class of the components, vibration and shock resistance, as well as the safety-related boundary conditions of DIN19704.
The advantages at a glance
- Functional reliability under extreme ambient temperature fluctuations
- Service life of the electric actuators, especially the spindle nut system
- Vibration and shock resistance of the entire drive system
- Corrosion protection and protection class of the components

LOCKS FOR WATER NAVIGATION
We offer RACO Electric Actuators® with a stroke of up to 196 inches for pedestrian gates and swing gates in interlock systems. They can be individually controlled to the programmed end positions via PLC. In addition, each electric actuator can be operated manually via a mechanical handwheel or electronically using the RACOmatic® . The RACO-Electric Actuator® is a perfect fit for these types of applications due to their durability and reliability.
Dams
The RACO Electric Actuators® plays a decisive role in flood protection. Thanks to their robust design and precise control, they enable effective regulation of water locks and dams. Our actuators are also extremely reliable and low-maintenance, making them ideal for use in critical flood protection systems. Their reliable function and robust construction contribute to the safety of many regions and communities.
Movable Bridges
RACO Electric Actuators® have been an indispensable component of bascule bridges, swing bridges and lifting bridges for more than 50 years. They are used for the precise movement of bridge elements and for their secure locking.
Ferry Terminals
RACO Electric Actuators® are ideal for positioning the height of ramps on ferry piers and gangways. They function as closed lifting columns and can be optionally equipped with a safety system to prevent falls. An integrated travel sensor system saves the lifting position, which means that no reference travel is required when switching back on. Our electric actuators adapt to the natural ferry movements in the water.
