    A032 3-Position Compact Rotary Actuator

    A032 3P Multi Position
    A032 3-Position Compact Rotary Actuator

    Overview

    The A032 3-position actuator has an auxiliary body that houses two pistons with limit rods that provide a positive stop at the actuator's middle position with near-zero lash. Depending on the combination of pressurized and exhausted ports, the actuator can reach any of its 3 positions from any other position in any desired sequence. Like its two-position counterpart, the A032, it fits in the palm of your hand.

    Specifications:

    • 3-Position Compact Rotary Actuator
    • Bore Size = 5/8"
    • Standard Rotations = 45-0-45, 50-0-50, 90-0-90, 95-0-95 degrees
    • Shaft sizes = Standard: .375" dia. & R .375" dia., Options: D .375" dia., .250" dia., R .250" dia., 8mm, & D 8mm 
    • Torque at 80 psi = Toward End Positions: 9 in-lbs., Toward Center Position: 4.5 in-lbs.
    • Ball Bearing Ratings - Radial: 305 lbs., Axial: 76 lbs.
    • Port Size = 10-32

  Actuator Motion Options

Choose your motion then configure the unit to suit your needs exactly.

Rotary Actuators Configured for Your Application
At Rotomation, we manufacture high-speed, heavy-duty pneumatic, and low-pressure hydraulic rotary actuators with various shaft motions. Our design and engineering team will get you the product that fits your requirements. Choose rotation options from a bidirectional rotation between two, three, four, or five positions, and unidirectional rotation in steps. Each rotary motion can be combined with linear motion in a single, independently-controlled actuator.
Our actuators are used in applications for metalworking, assembly, testing, and packaging machinery for automotive, semiconductor, food, pharmaceutical, and other industries.
Their customization and configurability mean you can specify an actuator that will optimize the design of your machines.
