Heavy Duty: Our PA-17 12v linear actuators offer high force capabilities and durable construction; the stainless steel shaft accompanied by metal gears allows it to push and pull up to 850 lbs, and hold up to 1700 lbs
Industrial Applications: With an industrial design, our PA-17 high force linear actuators are popular in applications such as those found in agriculture, agricultural machines and equipment, construction, factory, industrial electric lifting system, machinery, mechanical equipment, medical devices, gate opener, petroleum machinery, power generator, rv sewage drain gate, smart automation, snow blower, solar tracker, electric power transportation, and many others
High Protection: The PA-17 high force linear actuator has an IP65 protection rating for harsh environments and offers a mechanical slip clutch for overload protection; built-in adjustable limit switches are included in stroke lengths up to 24 inches
Simple Operation: The PA-17 high force linear actuator uses a brushed DC motor with just a 2-wire operation for simple integration with controllers compatible with the Molex Mini-Fit Jr 2-Pin connector with a 20A current draw rating
Top Quality: Progressive Automations is ISO 9001:2015 certified and committed to bringing top quality in all our linear actuators with an 18 months warranty to ensure the durability and performance that serves you well over the years
5 Tips to extend PA-17 lifespan: -Install the actuator in a configuration so that the force being experienced by the shaft is at the correct angle and position that line up with the push and pull direction of the actuator’s travel path. -Ensure the force that is being experienced by the actuator's shaft is within the force rating of the unit you selected. -Allow the PA-17 actuator to have sufficient off time to cool down so that the motor does not overheat by staying within the 25% duty cycle rating (5 minutes on, 15 minutes off). -Install the actuator in a configuration that allows for the actuator to fully extend and fully retract completely so that it can reach the internal limit switches at the end of travel. -Avoid water damage by using the PA-17 actuators within their ingress protection ratings of IP65. Actuators with IP65 can be stored outdoors in the rain, however, they are not rated to operate in motion while it is raining. To operate in motion while exposed to water, a rating of IP65M or higher is required.
