Description
PA-01 Specifications

Compact in size with medium force capabilities, the PA-01 actuator has a low current draw ideal for a wide range of industries. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many mini linear actuator solutions, such as:
  • Mechanical Wear and Tear: Many mini linear actuators are prone to early mechanical failures over time. The PA-01 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. 
  • Water Ingress and Seals: Advanced seals in the PA-01 actuator provide robust protection against water ingress, extending the actuator's life in outdoor environments.

Key Benefits and Features of the PA-01

  • Versatile Force Ratings: Designed with reliability and medium force capabilities to handle 71-1000 N dynamic and 71-1000 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 IP65, offering excellent resistance against dust and water, making it suitable for outdoor environments.
  • Low Current Draw: The DC motors draw ≤ 4 A fully loaded to ensure high efficiency in any application and avoid excessive power drain.
  • Integrated Limit Switches: Built-in, non-adjustable limit switches ensure precise control of the actuator's motion, enhancing safety and reliability

FAQ
How much force can the PA-01 mini linear actuator generate at full load?

The highest force rating option of our PA-01 mini linear actuator can generate 225 lbs at full load.

What stroke lengths are available for the PA-01 model?

Stroke length options available off the shelf range from 1” to 40”.

Is the mini linear actuator suitable for outdoor or industrial applications?

Yes, the ingress protection rating of IP65 ensures the PA-01 can handle harsh outdoor exposure, such as dust and water, when static. 

Can the PA-01 be controlled with wireless remote system?

Yes, the PA-01 actuator can be controlled with control systems that utilize a wireless remote for activation, as long as the control system can output the necessary voltage and current draw requirements to power the actuator. 

What is the duty cycle of the PA-01 under continuous use?

Our PA-01 actuators have a duty cycle rating of 25% (5 mins on, 15 mins off) to ensure the brushed motors have sufficient cooldown time to prevent overheating. 

Why is the PA-01 a better alternative to the PA-14?

The PA-01 actuator is a next-generation upgrade to the PA-14, offering enhanced performance, improved durability, and lower operating noise and vibration. It delivers higher dynamic load capacities—up to 225 lbs compared to the PA-14’s 150 lbs—and operates at faster speeds, reaching up to 3.54"/sec. The PA-01 maintains the same mounting size and length for seamless replacement and offers optional Hall effect feedback for applications requiring precise position control. With an upgraded IP65 ingress protection rating (versus IP54 on the PA-14), the PA-01 is better suited for demanding environments while maintaining full stroke range compatibility from 1" to 40".
