Description
PA-12-R Specifications

The PA-12-R Micro Precision Servo Actuator with RS-485 communication provides precise position control, with positional accuracy up to 100um. It has a servo style, the high-performance coreless motor with an embedded drive circuit, and is the highest precision linear actuator we carry. The micro-precision actuator, along with its TTL/PWM counterpart, is the only actuator in our line of products that is programmable, allowing for advanced control options. It allows the user the most precise control over the actuator's position and movement.

This unit can be found in industries such as medical, automotive, and manufacturing. For a full list of specifications, customization options, and dimensional drawings, please see our PA-12 Data Sheet. We also have a selection of sample codes for various control options of the actuator.

MOUNTING OPTIONS:

The BRK-12 bracket, designed for the Micro Precision Actuator, allows for a simple installation process. Please be aware the BRK-12 will only fit PA-12-R actuators with a 1.06" stroke. For more detailed information and specifications, please see our brackets product page.

CONTROL SYSTEMS:

The electric precision actuator is not compatible with any of our control boxes. It is compatible with our LC-12 Interface Controller and works with our control interface software that comes with every PA-12 actuator.

Custom options

FAQ
What is the positional accuracy of the PA-12-R actuator and what types of applications require this level of precision?

The PA-12-R micro linear actuator has up to 100µm actuator accuracy to meet the demands found in industries such as medical, automotive, and manufacturing.

How does RS-485 communication benefit the control of the PA-12-R compared to TTL/PWM models?

RS-485 actuator control allows for robust, long-distance communication and networking of multiple programmable actuators, while the TTL/PWM will be simpler and more limited.

What control systems and software are required to operate the PA-12-R actuator?

The PA-12-R is compatible with the LC-12 interface controller and is programmed via our control interface software that comes with every PA-12 actuator.

Is the PA-12-R actuator suitable for medical, automotive, or manufacturing applications requiring exact motion control?

Yes, the PA-12-R programmable linear actuator is suitable as a medical actuator in use cases such as surgical tools and micro-manufacturing systems.

What should be considered when selecting mounting brackets for the PA-12-R, especially for different stroke lengths?

The BRK-12 bracket is compatible with our PA-12-R; however, it is only suitable for the 1.06” stroke version.
