Overview

[PA-QR1]

The PA-QR1 Quick Release Linear Actuator is designed to provide enhanced safety, flexibility, and manual control for applications that require a reliable emergency override. Its built-in quick release mechanism allows the actuator shaft to be manually repositioned when the unit is unpowered, helping prevent equipment from becoming stuck due to power loss or mechanical limitations.

Using a cable pull-style release mechanism, the PA-QR1 offers added peace of mind in safety-critical applications where manual operation may be required. For hard-to-reach installations, the quick release can also be operated remotely using the AC-32 Quick Release Lever and Cable. With load capacities of up to 675 lbs and stroke lengths ranging from 4" to 14", the PA-QR1 is ideal for a wide range of automation projects.

Commonly used in home automation, medical equipment, and other automation applications, the PA-QR1 is well suited for trap doors, hatch doors, security safes, medical beds, dental chairs, and patient lifts. For complete specifications, customization options, and dimensional drawings, please refer to the PA-QR1 Data Sheet.
