Heavy-duty actuators for industrial automation
21 hours ago by Obtusk
Checked out Progressive Automations' EU site https://www.progressiveautomations.com/en-eu for industrial automation components– they've got proper heavy-duty linear actuators like the PA-17 (up to 2000 lbs push/4000 hold), PA-HD series for extreme loads, plus sync control boxes (PA-CB40-4, Hall Effect feedback for multi-actuator precision). IP66-rated, metal gears, stainless shafts – solid for factory conveyors, presses, or rugged machinery. Not the cheapest, but ISO certified, good warranties, and EU pricing/shipping make it hassle-free. Beats generic Ali stuff for reliability in real industrial use. Minor con: some models pricey for light duty. Solid pick, 8.5/10 for pro setups.
