The PA-13 High Force Industrial Linear Actuator is engineered for heavy-duty applications requiring high pushing and pulling force, durable construction, and dependable electric linear motion. Operating at 12 VDC, it is available in 720 lb and 3,000 lb dynamic force configurations with stroke lengths ranging from 4 to 40 inches.

Performance varies by force configuration. The 3,000 lb model operates at 0.23 in./sec with no load and 0.16 in./sec at full load, while the 720 lb configuration reaches 1.46 in./sec with no load and 0.91 in./sec at full load. Both configurations are rated for up to 20 A at full load.

The PA-13 features an IP66 environmental protection rating and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 60°C, supporting use in demanding outdoor, dusty, and wet environments. Its construction includes a stainless steel stroke shaft, aluminum alloy housing, powder metallurgy steel alloy gears, an ACME screw, and a brushed DC motor. Built-in non-adjustable limit switches, built-in electric overload shutoff, a rugged 2-pin TE Universal Mate-N-Lok connector, optional feedback, and a 20% duty cycle support integration into heavy-duty automation systems.

Progressive Automations identifies the PA-13 for applications including mobile machinery, heavy-duty flaggers, agricultural equipment, manufacturing, renewable energy, and industrial automation. Its combination of high force, 12 VDC operation, environmental protection, and long stroke options makes it relevant for electric positioning, lifting, pushing, pulling, and adjustment functions in demanding mobile and agricultural machinery applications.

The PA-13 is not rated for shock or pulse loads, and appropriately rated control components should be selected for its high current requirements.
