Description
PA-MC1 Specifications

As our smallest linear actuators, the PA-MC1 micro linear actuators have a compact design that is ideal for projects with limited spacing. The ingress protection rating of IP65 offers reliable protection against dust and low-pressure water jets to ensure the micro linear actuator is capable of withstanding various outdoor use cases. Considering the size and force capabilities, our PA-MC1 micro linear actuators also offer a fast speed of 1.85"/sec unloaded with the 8 lbs force option.

Simple plug-and-play operations combined with a low current draw allow for seamless implementation with existing systems across multiple applications and industries. The UL certifications and large range of available force options allow for the versatility needed in food and beverages, general automation, and home automation. For a full list of specifications, and dimensional drawings, please see our PA-MC1 micro linear actuator Data Sheet.

FAQ
What is the minimum installation space required for the micro linear actuator?

Our shortest stroke length for PA-MC1 is 0.5”; however, the stroke length that was selected based on how much travel distance was required for the application can result in a different minimum installation length requirement. The width and height of our PA-MC1 are always the same at 0.79” by 0.71”. 

Does the PA-MC1 support precise positioning for small-scale automation tasks?

The PA-MC1 is not designed for high precision tasks, however, the PA-12-T or PA-12-R offers high precision and positional feedback options better suited for precise positioning applications.

Are the internal limit switches on the PA-MC1 fixed or adjustable?

The internal limit switches of the PA-MC1 are fixed and non-adjustable.

Is the PA-MC1 suitable for horizontal and vertical mounting orientations?

Horizontal and vertical mounting orientations are suitable for the PA-MC1 as long as side loading is not applied to the shaft.

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.

Great and very powerful

I am currently using 6 of these on a piece of automation equipment. The range of motion and strength to speed is very useful. I have not come across any electric actuator with this much power especially in such a small package. The internal cut off when it reaches the end of stroke is incredibly helpful when doing multiple actions simultaneously and gives me confidence the motor will not burn out.

Great little actuator

I used this on a prototype I am building, and it performs well, low noise and a consistent speed. I am running it at 50% of its capacity which is a rule I have followed with other actuators from this site.

Hello Dennis,

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that the PA-MC1 Micro Linear Actuator is performing well for your prototype. If you ever have any updates on your project, we’d love to hear more about how it turns out. Let us know if you need any assistance!

Sincerely,
The Progressive Automations Team
