FAQ
What is the maximum load capacity of the PA-17 actuator and which applications is it ideal for?

The PA-17 heavy duty actuator is rated for up to 2000 lbs of dynamic force, making it perfect as an industrial automation actuator and for lifting applications.

How do the adjustable limit switches work and what benefits do they offer for control?

The PA-17 features adjustable limit switches with a rotational mechanism linked to the gears of the motor for enhancing actuator precision of the desired start and stop actuator travel limits.

What is the difference between potentiometer and other feedback options available for the PA-17?

The potentiometer feedback provides continuous position feedback, while hall effect sensors custom options deliver digital pulse-based signals.

What considerations are required when selecting a control system for the PA-17 actuator?

The actuator controllers, relays, and high current actuator wiring are required to be compatible with 20A of current draw at 12 V due to the PA-17’s high actuator power requirements.

Are there any limitations when using long stroke lengths with the PA-17 actuator?

Yes, stroke lengths longer than 24" will be limited to the PA-17 actuator without limit switches, and the shaft also rotates freely as the actuator cycles.

Gets it done!

Certainly heavy duty as expected. Easy to install. Is a bit slow but that is as expected for heavy duty,

Lift actuator for Grasshopper mower deck

The lift actuator does, it's job. It is a little bit slow, but that's not a problem. The body of the cylinder is just a hair longer than the Grasshopper actuator for the lawn mower deck. But it lifts just as high as the previous and is half the price. No complaints.

Hello Howard,

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that our actuator is performing well for your Grasshopper mower deck and that you found it to be a great value. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're always happy to help!

Sincerely,
The Progressive Automations Team

Bumpy start to a Smooth Finish

When our order arrived one there was a QC issue with one of the actuators. We reached out to customer service and were pleasantly surprised that with an e-mail and a few pictures they sent a replacement even before receiving the broken actuator back. We appreciate the speed and ease that this transaction took place with.

Hello Christopher,

Thank you for your review! We are sorry for the inconvenience with the initial issue with the actuator but are glad to hear that our customer service team was able to quickly resolve it for you.
