Overview
[PA-18]
The PA-18 Track Actuator uses a track-style linear motion design for applications that require fixed mounting points and extended linear travel. Its unique construction allows the moving carriage to travel along the actuator body while the mounting points remain fixed, making it well suited for space-conscious automation systems and applications where traditional extending-rod actuators may not be ideal.
