Choosing a Linear Actuator Control Box

Choose a controller that matches your actuator’s voltage, current requirements, connectors, and feedback type. Then consider how many actuators you need to operate and whether they should move individually, together, or in synchronization. Check each product’s compatibility information before selecting your control box.

12V and 24V Linear Actuator Controllers

Match the control box’s output voltage to your electric linear actuator and its input voltage to your power source. For multi-actuator systems, check both the current capacity per channel and the controller’s total current limit. AC-powered control boxes and DC-powered models have different input requirements, so confirm both input and output specifications.

Control One or Multiple Linear Actuators

Select a single-channel controller for one actuator or a compatible multi-channel control box for a larger system. Individual control lets you operate actuators separately. Parallel control operates them together, while feedback-based synchronization helps compatible actuators maintain coordinated movement. Choose the control method your application requires.

How do I choose a linear actuator controller?

Your questions, answered

Linear Actuator Controller FAQs

How do I choose a linear actuator controller?

Check your actuator’s voltage, current draw, motor type, feedback, and connectors. Then choose a controller with the required channel count and functions, such as wireless operation, speed adjustment, or synchronization. Use the product’s compatibility chart and wiring documentation to confirm your selection.

Which controller do I need for a 12V linear actuator?

Choose a controller with a compatible 12V DC output and sufficient current capacity for your actuator. Its input must also match your power source. A controller’s voltage rating alone does not establish compatibility.

Which controller should I choose for two linear actuators?

First decide whether the actuators need individual, parallel, or synchronized operation. Then check the controller’s actuator compatibility, current limits, and feedback requirements. Operating two actuators together does not necessarily keep their positions synchronized.

Do you offer a four-channel linear actuator controller?

Yes. The PA-CB40-4 is a four-channel Hall Effect synchronization control box. Check its compatibility information and setup requirements to confirm it suits your actuators and power source.

Can I control the speed of a linear actuator?

Selected controllers support speed adjustment. The PA-25 provides adjustable speed for compatible 12V actuators during extension and retraction. Check its compatibility chart and current limits before ordering.

Can I operate a linear actuator wirelessly or through Bluetooth?

Selected control boxes support wireless RF remotes, while compatible systems offer Bluetooth app control through supported accessories. Check the control box’s specifications for remote compatibility and any additional components required.

Can I buy a linear actuator with a controller?

Select your actuator and a compatible controller, then check what each product includes. Depending on the system, you may also need a power supply, remote, or wiring accessories. Do not assume that an actuator listing includes the controller.

Are brushless DC motor controllers compatible with standard actuators?

Motor type must match the controller. The LC-241 supports specially configured brushless PA-14 and PA-14P actuators and is not compatible with their standard brushed-motor versions.
