Learn about the PA-HD3A-HS Hall Heavy Duty Linear Actuator benefits, specs, and real-world applications in industrial, agricultural, and automation setups.

A brushed DC electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy using Lorentz Law, which states that “a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field will experience a force”. This force can be used in a variety of ways, such as in a linear actuator to convert rotational motion into linear motion. Progressive Automations offers a variety of linear actuators containing either a cored or coreless DC motor, but which type sh...

Durability and space efficiency are often highly demanded features from electric linear actuators to be used in areas with space constraints and exposure to the outdoor elements. Ideally, having these benefits without compromising performance and ease of integration would offer the versatility to handle a large range of applications across various industries. In this product overview, we will be covering our recently released Mini Linear Actua...

An actuator converts electrical energy into the motion behind countless automation systems—from adjustable desks and TV lifts to industrial machinery and custom DIY projects; however, actuators still depend on external components to manage voltage, current, direction, and safety. To achieve smooth motion, consistent performance, and long-term durability, selecting the right power supply and control box is just as important as choosing the act...
