Description
PA-ST5 Specifications

Our PA-ST5 tubular micro linear actuators have a compact design, specializing as an actuator for limited space applications and projects with tight space constraints. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many tubular actuator solutions, such as:
  • Mechanical Wear and Tear: Many tubular actuators are prone to early mechanical failures over time. The PA-ST5 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-ST5 actuator provide robust water-resistant protection against ingress, extending the actuator's life in a wide range of harsh environments.

Key Benefits and Features of the PA-ST5

  • Versatile Force Ratings: Designed with reliability and versatile capabilities to handle 98 N dynamic and 400 N static in a sleek tubular design.
  • Durable Construction: Built with long-lasting materials, including a stainless steel 304 stroke rod and aluminum 6063 housing, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions.
  • Weather Protection: Rated IP66, offering high resistance against dust and water, making it suitable for a wide range of harsh environments.
  • Low Current Draw: The DC motors draw 0.16 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.
