FAQ
How Can I Determine Which Progressive Automations Linear Actuator is Best Suited for My Application?

Depending on your application, there are different specification requirements you should consider when determining the linear actuator you need. These requirements include force, stroke, speed and mounting dimensions. For detailed actuator information, you can refer to either the datasheet or the specification table located on the selected actuator's product page. You can also contact us to speak with one of our expert engineers.

What Is Duty Cycle and How Is It Calculated?

Duty cycle is the fraction of the working period in which a linear actuator can remain active. You can calculate the duty cycle of a linear actuator by using the following equation: Duty cycle (%) = (Time the linear actuator is active) / (Time for one working period)

For example: With a 25% duty cycle, an actuator can run for 5 minutes continuously before needing to rest for 15 minutes before operating.

What Does Stroke Mean? How Am I Supposed to Know Which Size to Choose?

Stroke is the travel distance of the extending rod. To find the stroke length you require, measure your application from the fully retracted position to the fully extended position. The difference will equal the stroke length you require.

How Do I Know Which Force Rating Is Right for My Application?

We always recommend purchasing an actuator with a higher force rating than what the application requires. If unsure of your force requirements, this article may help you calculate this: How to Calculate Force to Find the Right Linear Actuator

Can I Synchronize My Linear Actuators?

Yes, this is possible. However, it does depend on the units you are currently using. To synchronize actuators, they require a form of feedback such as a potentiometer or hall effect sensors. For more information, see below some of our key content regarding linear actuator synchronization.

How To Utilize FLTCON-2 & FLTCON-4 Control Boxes?

What Are the Control Box Options For My Actuator?

The control box you choose should be able to provide sufficient voltage and current rating to your actuator. If you are unsure of the specifications, please contact us.

Alternatively, you can also find compatible control boxes on your selected linear actuator's product page.

What Is Backdriving? -- What Does Dynamic and Static Load Ratings Mean? -- What Is Lateral Loading?
What Is Backdriving?

Backdriving is when an actuator starts sliding down under load, when it is either overloaded or when the actuator has been damaged. Watch the video.

What Does Dynamic and Static Load Ratings Mean?

Dynamic load rating is the amount of weight an actuator can pull or push safely when being powered. Static load rating is the amount of weight the actuator can hold or withstand without back driving when it is not being powered. For example, let's just say you have an actuator installed on a window and the static load rating of the actuator is 100lbs, it could experience backdriving when there is a high wind event, which means there will be more pressure exerted on the actuator which would exceed the 100lbs load rating of the actuator.

What Is Lateral Loading?

Lateral loading is when the actuator experiences forces from the lateral plane. Actuators are not meant to handle lateral forces at all so if it experiences any lateral forces, it will likely damage the actuator or bend the rod. So it's advised never to use lateral forces and always make sure the actuator is fully in line or in sync with your application, so it does not take any load other than the axial load. Watch the video.

New replacement actuators performed as expected.

I purchased an 18" stroke actuator to replace a failed 16" stroke actuator from eBay. The eBay actuator was 1/2 the cost, but was noisy and literally fell apart after 3 years. The Progressive actuators are virtually silent. The new 24" stroke actuator purchase was installed to replace an identical 24" Progressive actuator that had developed intermittent electrical cutouts of the motor (a quick smack with a screwdriver would restore normal movement for a while) . I intended to return the failed actuator to Progressive for repair, but was very disappointed to find that they have no repair capabilities - only replacement IF the failure is covered by the warranty and they can determine the cause of the failure. I also found that I could not purchase a replacement motor for an another actuator that had burned out due to an installation fault.

Hello James,

Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing our actuators to replace your previous ones. We’re glad to hear that you’ve noticed a significant improvement in noise reduction and overall performance with our products.

However, we apologize for the disappointment regarding our repair capabilities. Unfortunately, we currently do not offer repair services, as our focus is on providing replacements under warranty when applicable. This is to ensure that any replacements meet the same quality standards as new units. We understand how frustrating it can be not to have repair options, and we will definitely pass your feedback along to our team for consideration.
If you need further assistance or have questions about warranty coverage, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help in any way we can.

Best regards,
The Progressive Automations Team
