FAQ
Why is the PA-MC1 a better alternative to the PA-07?

The PA-MC1 actuator is a more advanced and versatile alternative to the PA-07, offering improved performance while maintaining the same trusted reliability. It supports higher dynamic load options—up to 39 lbs compared to the PA-07’s 5 lbs—and operates at significantly faster speeds, reaching up to 1.18"/sec. The PA-MC1 also includes built-in overload protection and allows for side mounting with an optional bracket. These enhancements make it suitable for a wider range of applications, while still preserving the core features of the PA-07.

What are the ideal applications for the PA-07 Micro Linear Actuator?

The PA-07 Micro Linear Actuator is best suited for compact actuator applications where space is limited, such as food automation, home automation, DIY, and small-scale projects.

How much force can the PA-07 actuator handle and is it suitable for light-duty tasks?

The PA-07 has a rated dynamic force capacity of 5 lbs, making it suitable for light-duty applications where compact versatility is more important than heavy load capacity.

Is the PA-07 compatible with Arduino or other development boards?

Yes, the PA-07 is compatible with Arduino and similar microcontrollers. As a low current actuator, the PA-07 allows for microcontroller integration in various projects.

What type of environmental protection does the PA-07 offer?

The PA-07 water-resistant actuator comes with an IP66 ingress protection rating for dust and water protection, making it suitable for outdoor environments. 

Can the PA-07 be mounted in any orientation, and what brackets are compatible?

Yes, the PA-07 can be mounted in any orientation as long as the force being applied is directly onto the shaft. The BRK-07 bracket set is specifically designed for this actuator, providing flexible installation options.
