Canadian-Made control boxes

Introducing the PA-CB Series: Designed and Built in Canada

If you've ever tried to synchronize two electric linear actuators without the right control system, you know exactly what can go wrong. Drift. Uneven movement. Overloaded motors. The PA-CB series exists to solve exactly those problems — and it's built right here in Canada.

Here's everything you need to know about our Canadian-made PA-CB control box lineup.

What Is the PA-CB Series?

The PA-CB series is our newest generation of actuator control boxes — designed in Metro Vancouver, assembled in Canada, and engineered for precision linear actuator control across a wide range of applications. From compact micro actuator setups to heavy-duty industrial systems, there's a PA-CB model for your application.

The Lineup

PA-CB2 — Our most compact control box, designed specifically for the PA-MC1 micro linear actuator. Ideal for DIY projects, home automation systems, and tight-space applications. Delivers reliable low-current (up to 3.5A) 12V control with automatic power-saving mode — drawing just 2.5mA at idle.

PA-CB30 — Our wireless high-performance control box for single-channel actuator control. Features advanced safety features and wireless convenience in a compact plug-and-play package. Built for 12V/24V DC setups.

PA-CB31 — Our first high-power (300W) single-channel control box, purpose-built for heavy-duty industrial electric linear actuators. Supports both 12VDC and 24VDC systems, features high-current MOSFET motor drivers, reinforced PCB traces, and robust connectors. Includes automatic power-saving mode with instant wake-up.

PA-CB40 — Our most advanced dual-channel control box for synchronizing two Hall Effect linear actuators. Available in standard (25A) and high-power (50A) configurations, supporting 12VDC and 24VDC systems. Features self-learning pairing, fast wireless response, and real-time sync monitoring.

PA-CB40-4 — The four-channel version of the PA-CB40, designed for applications requiring perfectly synchronized movement across four Hall Effect linear actuators simultaneously. Robust safety features include overload, short circuit, and voltage fault protection.

PA-CB41 — Our most advanced high-current control box for synchronizing two Hall Effect linear actuators, with higher power output, extended duty cycles, and faster wireless response than the PA-CB40.

Which PA-CB Is Right for You?

  • Single actuator, standard load → PA-CB30
  • Single actuator, heavy-duty/industrial → PA-CB31
  • Two actuators, synchronized → PA-CB40 or PA-CB41
  • Four actuators, synchronized → PA-CB40-4
  • Micro actuator applications → PA-CB2

All PA-CB control boxes are plug-and-play compatible with our linear actuators, power supplies, and wiring kits — and backed by our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality standards.
