Description
PA-QR1 Specifications

The PA-QR1 Quick Release Linear Actuator is designed to provide enhanced safety, flexibility, and manual control across a wide range of applications. Its built-in quick release feature is a critical safety component, helping prevent situations where a system may become stuck in a single position due to power loss or mechanical limitations.

Using a cable pull-style release mechanism, this actuator allows the shaft to be manually repositioned even when the unit is unpowered, giving users greater control and peace of mind in critical scenarios. This is especially valuable in applications where accessibility is limited or where fail-safe operation is required. For added convenience, the quick release can also be engaged remotely when the actuator is not easily accessible by using the AC-32 Quick Release Lever and Cable, making it ideal for enclosed or hard-to-reach installations.

With a weight capacity of up to 675 lbs and available in stroke lengths ranging from 4" to 14", the PA-QR1 is well-suited for applications that require both powered movement and reliable manual override capability.


Some examples of the key industries that use the quick release actuator include home automation for trap doors, hatch doors and security safes. It can also be used for the medical field for medical beds, dental chairs, and patient lifts.
