Electric linear actuators are the mechanisms. Their core task is to transfer force from the control device to the executive one. Linear actuators vary in the way they transfer their energy. At the same time, the object controlled can be driven by a rotational or linear motion action.
One of the distinctive advantages of the waterproof linear actuators is their simple design. Due to this, actuators have an impressively long-lasting life service; in addition, they do not require regular maintenance and are unpretentious about the conditions. Simple execution allows using devices even in unfavorable climatic conditions. Depending on the manufacturer, models may have additional protection that increases the product’s resistance to disadvantageous factors.
Waterproof electric linear actuators manufactured by Progressive Automation can be used for various sea works. This can be a shipbuilding industry where this technology may come in handy for constructing automated boat hatches that can prevent lover sections of a ship from flooding during powerful sea storms. This technology can also be implemented to construct complicated inner mechanisms of military submarines where they can be responsible for pressure control, which is essential for the submarines’ operability. There are three basic types of water protection:
- IP54 – protects water splashes penetration from all sides;
- IP65 – prevents the penetration of water flows inside the case at any possible angle ;
- IP67 – with such protection, the device can function when fully submerged under the water.
For example, the PA-06 linear waterproof actuator model of Progressive Automations has IP67 water protection, meaning that this device can function even when fully submerged in the water and even at a significant depth. The minimum technical specifications of such a waterproof electric linear waterproof actuator are the following: stroke – 2 inches, force – 22 Ibs, speed – 1.38 inches/sec, whereas the maximum technical specifications are like this: stroke – 24 inches, force – 180 Ibs, speed – 0.47 inches/sec.
Customers can choose technical specifications so that they can adjust their waterproof linear actuators according to their desired performance. Progressive Automations’ PA-06 electric linear waterproof actuator is capable of working under the harshest conditions and withstands water and other potentially unwanted liquids, however, for short periods of time.
This high-rated quality makes these electric linear actuators the most popular choice for marine engineering. They can work within a temperature window of -20 to +60 °C.
The warranty covering this electric actuator lasts for 18 months since the purchase. This linear actuator is mounted with the help of BRK-06 mounting brackets that make the installation process extremely easy. Furthermore, this electric actuator is compatible with a whole range of control systems and control boxes, transforming the operation process into a pleasure. Control boxes allow the installation of electric linear actuators of high water protection merely everywhere if the dimensions suit their installation.
Progressive Automations’ actuators always provide the most effective performance while being reliable. These actuators can easily withstand the most terrific weather conditions and prove themselves to be the best solution where other similar technologies feel uncomfortable and present poor performance.
During long-lasting periods of work under heavy workloads, Progressive Automations’ actuators show the highest resistance to harsh environmental conditions. Such types of electric linear actuators can be easily adjusted for various types of work more or less associated with serious humidity and marine implementation. Preferring the waterproof actuators of Progressive Automations, customers invest in the qualitative and long-lasting technology that will fully justify their expectations.
