Linear actuator system comprising a linear actuator and at least one box, such as a control box containing a control and possibly also a mains-based power supply or a battery box with a rechargeable battery pack. The linear actuator system further comprises a fastening means for the box, wherein the fastening means is constituted by an elongated item with a rectangular outline and a square cross-section. The box has a groove for receiving the fastening means. The fastening means and the groove are constituted with mutually interacting releasable locking connections. The fastening means can be designed as an independent item that can be fastened where the box is to be placed. The fastening means can also be used to interconnect two or more boxes by fastening the fastening means to a box. Alternatively, the fastening means can be formed as an integral part of the box. The fastening means can also be used to fasten a box to the outer tube on a linear actuator by fastening or, more expediently, by the fastening means being designed as an integral part of a tubular mounting bracket which is slid over an outer tube on the linear actuator.
A linear actuator system comprising a linear actuator with a housing, an electric motor with a transmission, a spindle unit, an activation element in connection with the spindle unit and wherein the electric motor via the transmission drives the spindle unit, such that the activation element moves back and forth depending on the direction of rotation of the electric motor, and further comprising a box, such as a control box containing a controller and possibly also a mains-based power supply or a battery box with a battery pack, and wherein the box can be secured to an item, wherein the linear actuator system further comprises a fastening means for the box, wherein the fastening means is configured as an elongated item with a rectangular outline and a square cross-section, and that the box on the outside is provided with at least one groove for receiving the fastening means and that the fastening means and the groove are formed with mutually interacting releasable locking connections and that the fastening means is designed so that it can be secured to an item.
