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".
