FAQ
What is the maximum load capacity of the PA-13 actuator and what types of applications require such high force?

The PA-13 high force actuator is rated up to 3000 lbs of dynamic force, making it suitable as an industrial actuator for heavy loads such as industrial automation, lifting, pushing/pulling, and other high-load tasks.

What does the environmental protection rating of the PA-13 cover, and where can it be safely used?

The PA-13 actuator has an IP66 ingress protection rating to be dustproof and water-resistant, making this a suitable actuator for harsh environments, including outdoor, dusty, or damp conditions.

Is the PA-13 actuator suitable for dynamic shock or pulse loads during operation?

While designed for high force outputs, the PA-13 should be used within its linear actuator limitations and not be subjected to sudden pulse or shock loads to avoid damage.

What are the control system requirements for integrating the PA-13 into an application?

The PA-13 requires a 20A actuator controller or wiring with relays due to its high current draw actuator design. Ensure compatible wiring and controls are used for safe integration.

What bracket should be used for mounting the PA-13 and what installation flexibility does it provide?

The BRK-17 bracket is the recommended heavy duty actuator mounting for the PA-13, providing secure mounting for the front and rear ends with the flexibility to have a full 180-degree rotation.
