PA-MC1 Specifications
As our smallest linear actuators, the PA-MC1 micro linear actuators have a compact design that is ideal for use cases with limited spacing. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many micro actuator solutions, such as:
- Versatile Force Ratings: Many micro actuators are limited to low force ratings that can lead to early mechanical failures. The PA-MC1 actuator addresses this with robust construction and quality motors to handle versatile force ratings in the given compact size.
- Safety Features: Standard models feature a current detection circuit that automatically halts the actuator at end-of-travel limits.
- Water Ingress and Seals: Advanced seals in the PA-MC1 actuator provide robust protection against water ingress, extending the actuator's life in outdoor environments.
Key Benefits and Features of the PA-MC1
- Versatile Force Ratings: Designed with reliability and versatility to handle 36-174 N dynamic and 36-249 N static force.
- Durable Construction: Built with long-lasting materials, including a stainless steel stroke rod and PA6-GF35 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.
- Operational Efficiency: Brushed DC motor with 20% duty cycle for efficient operation within specified timeframes.
- Integrated Overload Protection: Built-in, overload protection safety feature automatically halts the actuator at end-of-travel limits.
