Description
PA-13 Specifications

The PA-13 High Force Industrial Linear Actuator is one of the strongest units in our line-up. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many heavy duty actuator solutions, such as:
  • Mechanical Wear and Tear: Many high load actuators are prone to early mechanical failures over time. The PA-13 actuator addresses this with robust construction and quality motors designed for longevity.
  • Safety Features: Built-in limit switches ensure the actuators automatically shut off electrical power when reaching the end of full retraction and extensions. Built-in electric shutoff overload protection is also included, helping ensure user safety and avoid damage.
  • Water Ingress and Seals: Advanced seals in the PA-13 actuator provide robust protection against water ingress, extending the actuator's life in outdoor environments.

Key Benefits and Features of the PA-13

  • High Force Ratings: Designed with reliability and heavy duty capabilities to handle 3200-13345 N dynamic and 4000-15000 N static force.
  • Durable Construction: Built with long-lasting materials, including a stainless steel stroke rod and aluminum alloy 6062 housing, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions.
  • Weather Protection: Rated IP66, offering excellent resistance against dust and water, making it suitable for outdoor environments.
  • Manual Override: The included manual override feature allows operators an alternative means of cycling the actuators in the event of an electrical power outage.
  • Integrated Limit Switches: Built-in, non-adjustable limit switches ensure precise control of the actuator's motion, enhancing safety and reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum load capacity of the PA-13 actuator and what types of applications require such high force?

The PA-13 high force actuator is rated up to 3000 lbs of dynamic force, making it suitable as an industrial actuator for heavy loads such as industrial automation, lifting, pushing/pulling, and other high-load tasks.

What does the environmental protection rating of the PA-13 cover, and where can it be safely used?

The PA-13 actuator has an IP66 ingress protection rating to be dustproof and water-resistant, making this a suitable actuator for harsh environments, including outdoor, dusty, or damp conditions.

Is the PA-13 actuator suitable for dynamic shock or pulse loads during operation?

While designed for high force outputs, the PA-13 should be used within its linear actuator limitations and not be subjected to sudden pulse or shock loads to avoid damage.

What are the control system requirements for integrating the PA-13 into an application?

The PA-13 requires a 20A actuator controller or wiring with relays due to its high current draw actuator design. Ensure compatible wiring and controls are used for safe integration.

What bracket should be used for mounting the PA-13 and what installation flexibility does it provide?

The BRK-17 bracket is the recommended heavy duty actuator mounting for the PA-13, providing secure mounting for the front and rear ends with the flexibility to have a full 180-degree rotation.
