More modular, more precise, more reliable:
A superior drive system
In industry, every millimetre counts. When large loads need to be moved precisely, flaps need to be closed securely or processes need to be controlled reliably – uncertainty is not an option! That's exactly why we at RACO build our versatile electric actuators, which do more than just linear motion: they keep systems running, secure processes and do so over a long service life – reliably.
RACO stands for solutions that go beyond pure linear motion. We secure sequences, optimise processes and create real added value for your design.
Whether in power stations, ports, locks, production facilities or mobile machines – our drives are at home wherever technology has to function reliably. They stand for maximum load capacity, long service life and maximum cost-effectiveness – even under the toughest conditions. And all this without pressure oil, without compressed air and with less unnecessary complexity in the system architecture.
With a RACO electric actuator electrical energy is converted directly into motion, resulting in greater efficiency than with hydraulics. With hydraulics, electrical energy is first converted into ‘pressure oil’, which results in losses due to additional friction.
The modular assembly system allows customer-specific drive solutions to be implemented efficiently, even for complex projects. Many components are available directly from stock – for a wide variety of configurations.
RACO electric actuators – developed for engineers who don't compromise.
Goodbye hydraulic actuator. Hello electromechanical drive. Hello RACO electric actuators.
When it comes to linear movements, electric actuators are the superior choice - especially when reliability, minimised maintenance requirements and energy efficiency are required. Compared to hydraulic or pneumatic systems, electric actuators from RACO offer a high-precision, clean and fully controllable drive solution. They combine power and dynamics with maximum flexibility in integration - and all without compressed air lines or oil circuits.
Those who opt for electric actuators not only reduce maintenance costs, but also gain process reliability, environmental compatibility and overall economic efficiency. Especially in times of increasing energy and sustainability requirements, electromechanical solutions are a future-proof alternative.

Compact - Electric actuator, series 6
With a force of 2 to 40 kN and strokes of up to 1000 mm, the electric actuator from the Compact series offers a space-saving solution for a wide range of industrial applications without compromising on performance and precision.
Compact - Electric actuator with RACOmatic®, series 6
Equipped with the intelligent RACOmatic® system, this electric actuator combines compact design with maximum ease of use. The electric actuator achieves reproducible, dynamic motion profiles for positioning forces up to 40 kN with strokes up to 1000 mm – perfect for automated processes in industry.
High Performance - Electric actuator, series 1
The high-performance series is designed for demanding industrial applications. With a robust design, actuating forces from 5 to 100 kN, and strokes up to 2000 mm, it offers reliable power and precision even under high loads.
High Performance - Electric actuator with RACOmatic®, series 1
This series is characterized by its robust design with the integrated RACOmatic® system. These actuators with actuating forces from 5 to 100 kN and strokes up to 2000 mm, in combination with RACOmatic® control, are ideal for complex and automated processes.
Heavy Duty - Electric actuator, series 1
For extreme industrial requirements: The heavy-duty series offers a particularly robust design with actuating forces from 100 to 1400 kN and strokes up to 8000 mm. It is the reliable solution for the heaviest loads and maximum precision.
Precision at the touch of a button: With the integrated RACOmatic® electronics, you can control movements precisely and with repeat accuracy - for maximum process reliability.
These industries use our electric actuators
Conveying & bulk solids technology
RACO electric actuators prove their worth every day in systems for conveying and processing bulk materials. They work reliably, efficiently and with low maintenance even in extremely dusty, vibrating or harsh operating conditions - in short, even under the harshest and most explosive environmental conditions.

Transport & lifting technology
RACO electric actuators offer precise movements for controlling bridges, crane and lifting equipment - even in highly fluctuating weather conditions. They work reliably in heat, cold, wind or salty air and can be flexibly integrated into existing systems.
Mechanical & plant engineering
When it comes to precision, dynamics and continuous operation, RACO electric actuators are the right choice. Whether for positioning tasks, process automation or industrial applications - they can be customised and ensure maximum availability in 24/7 use.
How we realise your project
Find the right electric actuator - don't search for long, get straight to your destination.
Every application has its own special features - be it salt water, extreme temperatures or potentially explosive environments. Our product finder will guide you to the right solution - tailored to the location, environment and technical requirements. Quickly, efficiently and without detours.
Technical advice - because good solutions start with good questions.
Sometimes it takes more than just technical data sheets - it takes someone who listens, thinks and understands what really matters. Our experienced engineers take the time to listen to your requirements and show you how to turn an idea into a well thought-out, reliable solution.
Design precisely tailored to your project - because your application sets the pace.
No off-the-shelf electric actuator, but a solution that fits - mechanically, electrically and economically. Whether a modular combination or customised design: We develop exactly what your application needs. And no more than it should cost.
Production & quality check - because trust starts with the first screw.
Every RACO electric actuator is manufactured in Schwelm - with state-of-the-art technology, the utmost care and a wealth of experience. Before it leaves our factory, it is checked, measured and tested. And if your application has special requirements, we can also supply them with ATEX certification on request.
Commissioning & long-term support - because responsibility does not end with delivery.
A RACO electric actuator is built to last for years, if not for decades - and so is our support. Spare parts, maintenance, help by phone or on site: We are there when it matters. Fast, direct and reliable - to keep your system running. And runs. And runs.
