FAQ
What level of positional accuracy does the PA-12-T provide and how is it achieved?

The PA-12-T has up to 100µm actuator accuracy with its embedded drive circuit and TTL control for communication to achieve fine positioning.

What are the differences between TTL/PWM and RS-485 versions of the PA-12 actuator?

The PA-12 TTL/PWM programmable actuator requires the TTL/PWM communication protocol and uses a cored DC motor, while the RS-485 version requires the RS-485 communication protocol and uses a coreless DC motor.

What control systems are compatible with the PA-12-T and how is it programmed?

The PA-12-T is compatible with the LC-12 interface controller and is programmed via our control interface software that comes with every PA-12 actuator.

Is the PA-12-T actuator suitable for medical or other high-precision applications?

Yes, the PA-12-T high-precision actuator is suitable as a medical actuator in use cases such as surgical tools and micro-manufacturing systems.

What mounting bracket is used with the PA-12-T and how does it support compact installations?

The PA-12-T uses the BRK-12 bracket, which is designed with a small footprint for compact actuator installations with limited space.
