The RICHMAT HJC18, manufactured by Qingdao Hao Jiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., is a centralized control box for multi-actuator systems in electric medical and care beds. It accepts universal 100–240 VAC mains input and provides 24 VDC output to drive 1 to 5 DC linear actuators. The built-in synchronization function coordinates multiple actuators to move in unison — essential for patient lift systems, tilting beds, and massage tables where uneven actuation could create a safety hazard or discomfort.

How does the dual control mode work?

The HJC18 accepts commands from both a wired handset and an RF wireless remote. The wired connection provides a reliable fallback and is typically used by caregivers at the bedside. The RF wireless remote allows patients to adjust bed position independently within a defined range, or lets nursing staff reposition the bed without reaching across the patient. The multi-function fool-proof interface prevents incorrect cable connection, and customizable cable lengths accommodate different bed frame designs and actuator mounting positions.

Where is the HJC18 typically deployed?

Primary applications include electric nursing care beds in hospitals and long-term care facilities, patient transfer lifts (sit-to-stand and overhead), therapeutic massage beds in rehabilitation and wellness settings, and height-adjustable examination tables. The IP20 rating suits indoor clinical environments where the control box is mounted inside the bed frame or in a protected compartment. The black plastic enclosure is designed for cleanability in healthcare settings.
