Preface
Dear User,
We are delighted that you have chosen a product from LINAK®.
LINAK systems are high-tech products based on many years of experience in the manufacture and development
of actuators, electric control boxes, controls and chargers.
This User Manual does not address the end-user. It is intended as a source of information for the manufacturer
of the equipment or system only, and it will tell you how to install, use and maintain your LINAK electronics.
It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the end-user product to provide a User Manual where relevant
safety information from this manual is passed on to the end-user.
We are sure that your LINAK product/system will give you many years of problem-free operation.
Before our products leave the factory, they undergo full function and quality testing. Should you nevertheless
experience problems with your LINAK product/system, you are always welcome to contact your local contact.
LINAK subsidiaries and some distributors situated all over the world have authorised service centres, which are
always ready to help you.
LINAK provides a warranty on all its products. This warranty, however, is subject to correct use in accordance
with the specifications, maintenance being done correctly and any repairs being carried out at a service centre,
which is authorised to repair LINAK products.
Changes in installation and use of LINAK products/systems can affect the operation and durability of the
products/systems. The products are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel.
The User Manual has been written based on our present technical knowledge. We are constantly working on
updating the information and we therefore reserve the right to carry out technical modifications.

Description of the DESKLINE®Desk Frame 2
The Desk Frame 2 (DF2) is, as the name indicates, a complete frame from LINAK®. It is characterized by a rethought frame concept,
evolved around a new top frame called the Beam.The Beam contains all electronics including the motor and all cable wiring.The
DF2 is very fast and intuitive to assemble as the few parts are carefully designed to be either clicked together or attached with
only a few screws.
The DF2 has a clean design. The lifting columns have no visible gliding pads and no punch holes in the profiles, and the internal
wiring and pre-installed motor in the beam ensure that only the mains cable and the cable to the desk panel are visible. The DF2
is of the well-known LINAK quality and performance similar to other 3-part columns. As standard, the DF2 features the new anti-
collision technology, Desk Sensor™ 1, ensuring that collisions with obstacles do not damage the furniture. The DF2 reuses the
existing DESKLIFT™ Feet for mounting the lifting columns either on top of or recessed in the foot construction.
The method of packing ensures optimized logistics.All main components are packed individually and the quantity is aligned.
Figure 1 Names of the DF2 parts
The DF2 can be delivered with a mounting kit consisting of:
• 22 mounting screws for the beam and the cables (4.5 x 20 mm)
• 2 mounting screws for the desk panel (4.0 x 35 mm)
• 3 cable clamps (Ø6.6 mm)

Page 10 of 24
Disassembly tool
Ordering code: 1023W1241.
The DF2 is available as a set-packed solution.
For the set-packed solution the main components of a DF2 frame are packed in separate boxes meaning that a DF2 frame
consists of 4 boxes:
• The beam (1 piece)
• The lifting columns (2 pieces)
• The cantilevers (2 pieces), the selected DPG, mains cable and optionally a mounting kit containing screws for mounting
the tabletop and the DPG as well as cable relief clamps
• The feet (2 pieces including the screws for mounting and the adjustment screws for the foot)
The set-packed solution simplifies logistics at the OEM end, making it easy to select the right components for the desk and
ensuring that all parts are included.
A bulk-packed solution is typically an advantage for high volume OEMs who assemble the frames or the complete desks at
their factories.

Mounting guidelines for the Desk Frame 2
Assembling DF2 system
1. Gather all parts for desk including tabletop.
2. Turn tabletop upside down.
3. Fix beam length.
3.1. Extend beam to required length (width 1150 to 1750 mm), adjustable in 50 mm steps).
The beam must not be pulled completely apart in order not to pull the drive shaft apart.
Minimum adjustment in the connection end is 100 mm (to keep power and RJ45 sockets accessible),
otherwise adjustable in 50 mm steps.
Recommended tabletop:
Material Veneered chipboard
Plywood
Thickness Min. 21 mm (13/16”)
Size Min. 700 x 1200 mm (27” x 47”)
Max. 1000 x 1830 mm (39” x 72”)

4. Mount cantilevers.
4.1. Place a cantilever slightly tilted at end of beam.
4.2. Press cantilever into place until a click is heard and pawls lock cantilever in correct position.
5. Place assembled DF2 frame in correct position.
Use tape measure to ensure central placement of DF2 frame.
4.3. Mount cantilever in other end of beam.
Check that the cantilever is placed correctly and cannot be twisted off the DF2 beam.
Do not extract the beam using the cantilevers as handles.

Page 13 of 24
6. Fasten DF2 frame to tabletop using 20 mounting screws as follows:
6.a. 8 screws at ends of beam.
Use one of these to fix mains cable to beam with cable clamp creating a cable relief, see step 13.
Connect power cable.
6.b. 4 screws at extension points.
6.c. 8 screws in cantilevers.
7. Mount columns.
7.1. Ensure columns are completely retracted.

7.2. Tilt columns and place correctly on beam using guiding notches.
7.3. Fix column to beam by pressing down until a “click” is heard and both pawls lock column in correct position.
8. Mount desk panel
8.1 Connect desk panel in one of RJ45 sockets.
8.2. Fasten desk panel to tabletop using mounting screws.
8.3. Fasten cable to tabletop using two screws and two cable clamps.
Check that both pawls are visible after mounting of the columns. Otherwise, remove column and try again
(see Disassembly, steps 4 and 5).
Ensure that only one desk panel at the time is connected to the DF2.

9. Connect power cable.
Ensure to make a cable relief using the cable clamp when fastening the cable to the tabletop.

10. Mount feet
10.1 Mount feet on columns using eight M6 mounting screws.
The DF2L06 columns are supplied with four M6 and two M8 threaded holes. For mounting the feet,
always use four M6 or two M8 bolts with the following specifications:
Quality: Min. grade 8.8
Length: Min. 10 mm (plus foot thickness); max. 16 mm (plus foot thickness)
10.2. Fasten bolts thoroughly (torque: max. 10 Nm).
10.3. Mount adjustment screws.
11. Turn table around.
12. Connect to mains supply.
Your desk is now ready for use.

Page 17 of 24
For disassembling the DF2, use a disassembly tool (ordering code 1023W1241).
Disassembling DF2
1. Drive desk to its minimum height so columns are completely retracted.
2. Disconnect from mains supply.
3.Turn table upside down.
4. Disconnect, unscrew and remove desk panel.
5. Unscrew and remove feet.
6. Place disassembly tool on beam to make pawl release column.
8. Unscrew DF2 beam from tabletop.
9. Turn DF2 beam upside down.
10. Press screwdriver down on pawl. Slightly tilt cantilever to remove it.
11. Disassemble rest of system.
Disassembly
A disassembling instruction video is available here.

Main groups of disposal
Disposal of LINAK products
As LINAK customers often ask us how our products can be disposed or scrapped we have prepared this guide that enables a
classification to different waste fractions for recycling or combustion.
Guide
We recommend our products to be disassembled as much as possible and divided into different waste groups for recycling or
combustion.
For example, waste can be sorted into metals, plastics, cable scrap, combustible material, and recoverable resources.
Some of these main groups can be further divided into subgroups; e.g. metal can be divided into steel/aluminium/copper and
plastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various recycling groups:
By now almost all our cast plastic parts are supplied with an interior code for plastic type and fibre content, if any.
