Our mini linear actuators are one of the most popular types of actuator in our catalog for a number of reasons. While compactness is an obvious feature of theirs, it’s their adaptability to the application they are serving that makes them such a prime choice. This adaptability comes from their range of stroke and force abilities, with their stroke lengths going from 1” to 40”, and their dynamic force starting at 35 lbs in certain models, going up to 450 lbs in our PA-10. Our PA-10 also contains a waterproof feature, making this miniature electric actuator extremely versatile. We also stock a mini linear actuator with feedback abilities, as seen in our PA-14. Alongside these capabilities, these small electric linear actuators also feature precision control, compactness and, in certain models, high IP and waterproof protection ratings. From their range of features, our mini linear actuators can be utilized in a number of different applications and mechanisms.
Our mini actuators can be quite compact at their smallest stroke of 1”, going up to 40”. Their dynamic force ratings range from 35 lbs all the way up to 450 lbs.
Our mini actuators have the advantage of a low current draw, allowing for the use of a single control box for multiple actuators.
Due to their range of capabilities, our mini electric actuators are considered extremely adaptable to any given application. This is seen in the range of force they can offer alongside certain models offering high IP waterproof protection ratings and customizable options for PA-14 brushless motors.
We have data sheets, user manuals, 3D models, wiring diagrams and more in our Resources and Learning Center sections.
Yes, our actuators can be seamless replacements for most applications. Please contact us if you are unsure of which actuator to opt for. You will need to know the voltage rating, force rating, and stroke length needed before we can give a recommendation for a replacement actuator.
Yes. However, it is important to have sufficient voltage and current to be applied to your actuator. Here is an article that may help you further: How to Choose the Right Power Supply for your Linear Actuator
As we are primarily manufacturers and distributors, we have a limited amount of sample codes available. While we cannot provide specific coding for your application, we do have a growing list of sample Arduino codes. To access these sample codes, please click here.
No. However, we have a large variety of control boxes to choose from for each actuator. Alternatively, you may also use rocker switches as a form of motion control.
Yes, however, you need to ensure your control box can provide sufficient current draw and compatible voltage. Otherwise, you risk damaging your actuator(s).

Applications
AUTOMOTIVE
Cube Series Camper
The Cube Series RV team can now take advantage of their ultra-lightweight folding technology for their Cube Series Camper. Thanks to our PA-10-HALL, this new and innovative camper solution offers the means for compact pickups to experience all the benefits found in quality hard-shell alternatives while still being lightweight, compact, and convenient.
DIY PROJECTS
Automated Concert Wings
The Automated Concert Wings by ILLUSION is a perfect example of functionality and style that can also work as Halloween props. This project uses mechanical leveraging in combination with our PA-14 mini linear actuators to achieve the full range of motion required to open and close their wings. With the push of a button located on the performer’s waistband, the wings were able to open themselves mechanically and be as authentic and life-like as possible.
HOME AUTOMATION
Custom Pinball Coffee Table
Check out this DIY pinball machine in a coffee table that is comfortable to play while still being viable for home-use thanks to its compact size. Project Pintable by Loren utilizes our PA-09 actuators which are compact enough to fit inside the table while offering plenty of force for making the necessary height adjustments.
