Industrial actuators manufactured by the global automation leader Progressive Actuators linear motion mechanisms that demonstrate perfect performance and cost-effectiveness. These technologies include also heavy duty linear actuators – extremely precise and reliable actuator units that usually implemented for industrial purposes to provide accurate performance where the human presence should be decreased.
Different types of actuators can be used in a variety of areas, ranging from the furniture market such as standing desks, lifting office chairs, TV lift cabinets to specialized medical implementation in the manufacturing of medical beds, x-ray equipment, etc. The major part of the American and Canadian automations is done with the help of PA heavy industrial actuators. The company already entered the European market. And thanks to a wide range of products offered and high-quality self-made actuator models used for all of these PA products, the company immediately began to actively conquer the global industrial market.
Areas for Progressive Automations Actuator Implementation
- Adjustable orthopedic beds;
- Medical beds;
- Height-adjustable standing desks;
- Remote closing/opening of windows, shutters, doors, hatches;
- Adjustable TV stands and TV monitor lifts;
- Dentists chairs and hairdressers chairs.
The use of industrial actuators can be extremely diverse. This technology is applicable to be used for a variety of purposes in different industrial areas. For example, actuators can be used in furniture manufacturing. Motorized automated sofas with the secret in their armrests. In a niche of armrests can be hidden a small bar or even a little safe that can be operated by remote control to show/hide. Exactly the same technology can be used in cars to hide something inside of the cat seats. Automatic raising and lowering of stairs, closing and opening of covers and hatches, etc. The spheres for electric linear actuator implementation are limited only by your own choice. Almost any mechanical movement can be automated with these smart linear motion technology. A wide range of adjustable industrial actuator products, offered on the PA website can help engineers to choose the equipment necessary for their new application automation.
What is Industrial Actuator for Serious Loads?
An actuator is an electromechanical unit equipped with a direct or alternative current gearbox, screw pair, and retractable working rod. This device serves to automate the linear movement of both pushing and pulling type and hold various loads under different operating angles and directions. Usually, the rotational motor of the actuator is attached perpendicular to the actuator housing. There are models with different technical specifications and different rod lengths. They vary in their speed of travel and their length in fully retracted and fully contracted positions. This linear motion automations technology is usually made of easy but quite rigid metal alloys that provide strength, reliability, and durability when providing the movement to heavy loads.Â
Electromechanical linear actuators for general industrial use are compact high-power devices designed for most production processes using linear movement automation. An important role is played by their technical specifications – permissible loads and speeds, smooth performance, as well as the ability to work under adverse external conditions of the installation environment. Industrial actuators designed to automate production processes greatly facilitate the work workers in many industries where actuators are used.
Every day more and more industries are being improved and automated in order to facilitate the work of personnel and increase efficiency and productivity. This is especially beneficial in difficult and labor-intensive areas where equipment and people sometimes work in extreme conditions. Agriculture is just one of these areas of industry. So, linear motion actuators are widely used today mechanization of various agricultural machinery, livestock, the process of harvesting feed and farming.
