Description
PA-QR1 Specifications

The PA-QR1 is a quick release actuator, offering added safety and quick movement to any application. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many quick release actuator solutions, such as:
  • Mechanical Wear and Tear: Many mini actuators are prone to early mechanical failures over time. The PA-QR1 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-QR1 actuator provide robust protection against ingress, extending the actuator's life in a wide range of outdoor environments.

Key Benefits and Features of the PA-QR1

  • High Force Ratings: Designed with reliability and versatile capabilities to handle 3003 N dynamic and 4450 N static force ratings.
  • Durable Construction: Built with long-lasting materials, including a 304 stainless steel stroke rod and PA66 + 33GF housing, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions.
  • Weather Protection: Rated IP66, offering high protection against dust and water, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor environments.
  • Quick Release Mechanism: The cable pull-style quick release allows for the option to have manual movement 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 purpose of the quick release feature in the PA-QR1 actuator and how does it improve safety?

The quick release actuator feature allows manual override by disengaging the actuator with a cable pull release, ensuring safety in emergencies and power outages.

How does the AC-32 Quick Release Lever and Cable enhance accessibility for remote disengagement?

The AC-32 quick release lever and cable allow remote actuator release manually from up to 1.5m away without needing direct access to the actuator, ideal for inaccessible installations.

In what types of applications is the PA-QR1 actuator most commonly used and why?

The PA-QR1 is widely used as a medical bed actuator, dental chair actuator, patient lift actuator, and home automation actuator, as manual override is essential for these use cases.

What is the maximum force capacity of the PA-QR1 and what are the available stroke length options?

The PA-QR1 is a medium load actuator that can handle 675 lbs of dynamic force and is available in actuator stroke lengths ranging from 4” to 14”.

What mounting options are compatible with the PA-QR1 and how does the BRK-02 bracket simplify installation?

The BRK-02 bracket supports mounting at both the motor and stroke ends, simplifying installation by offering secure and flexible actuator mounting hardware that comes with all the necessary screws and pins for quick installation.
