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:
See the A032 3-Position Compact Rotary Actuator Part Number page for detailed configuration and option information.
For higher torque and larger rotation angles, consider our A12 3-Position Compact Rotary Actuator.
Unique like our AL75, the A032 packs a lot of torque per cubic inch of rugged construction and fits in the palm of your hand. With a heat-treated alloy steel pinion shaft and relatively large ball bearings, it will handle loads heavier than its competition. Optional features are available for you to configure this compact actuator as needed, so that it suits your application precisely.
Specifications:
See the A032 Compact Rotary Actuator Part Number page for detailed configuration and option information.
For the three-position version, see A032 3-Position Compact Actuator.
If space isn't a limitation but you need larger rotation angles, consider the A1 Rotary Actuator.
With over 30 times more torque capacity than our A032 3-Position Actuator and billions of standard possible configurations, our A42 three-position actuator has overall dimensions that are similar to those of its two-position counterpart, the A42 Rotary Actuator. Output torque is that of a single rack unit but it can rotate to any of its 3 positions in any sequence by simply activating the proper directional control valve.
Specifications:
See the A42 3-Position Rotary Actuator Part Number page for detailed configuration and option information.
But if you're looking for precise unidirectional sequential steps, consider our X4 Indexing Actuator.
The A752 is designed to produce substantial amounts of torque in a small package. Its dual rack construction also eliminates gear lash at the ends of the stroke for precise positioning of parts. Its standard ball bearings, roller burnished cylinder bores and one-piece heat treated alloy steel pinion shaft contribute to its unparalleled resilience and long life.
See the A752 Compact Rotary Actuator Part Numberpage for detailed configuration and option information.
If you need larger rotation angles and space isn't a limitation, you may want to consider the A2 Rotary Actuator.
Unlike our other actuators, the AL75 is not a rack and pinion actuator; it features a patented drive mechanism that is both unique and durable. It can operate at very high speeds with light loads and its characteristic slow start/stop motion reduces noise and shock. It can easily be made in various alternative materials and with its ingress protection capabilities, it is ideal for washdown environments.
See the AL75 Compact Rotary Actuator Part Numberpage for detailed configuration and option information.
If you need higher torque, consider our A752 Rotary Actuator or for larger rotation angles, consider our A01 Rotary Actuator.
At Rotomation, we focus on adding value for our customers and thrive when they succeed. Our operations are customer-centric, ensuring we are always accessible to both distributors and end users.
Maximum Reliability: Rotomation actuators are built for high cycle rates and long-life expectancy, backed by our basic 2-year limited warranty. Typically, our actuators run for tens of millions of cycles. Key features include:
Pinion Shafts:Made from quenched and tempered 4150 steel, ensuring extreme impact resistance, accuracy, and long life.
Floating Pistons and Racks:Designed for maximum reliability and fault tolerance.
Replaceable Sintered Bronze Rack Bearings:Offer long life and easy repairability.
Oversized Ball Bearings:Capable of handling heavy loads, allowing for substantial hollow shafts and special applications.
Robust and Efficient Design:Our fully machined body, oversized bearings, and rugged shafts allow the actuator to serve as the bearing for your load. This design reduces the number of parts, simplifies design efforts, and saves space. We keep blank pinion shafts with full bearing bore diameter and extra length in stock, enabling us to quickly create custom shafts tailored to your design needs.
Long-Lasting and Rebuildable:Rotomation actuators are built to endure millions of operations under heavy loads and are fully rebuildable. We offer a fast rebuild service or provide parts for self-repair.
Longevity and Support: Our customers often share stories of Rotomation actuators that have been in service for 10, 20, or even 30 years. They are pleased to learn that we support nearly all our old products and that our current models are compatible with older versions, despite continuous improvements for longer life. Each unit is serialized, and we maintain detailed records indefinitely.

Choose your motion and then configure the unit to suit your needs.
Rotary
Bidirectional rotation between two positions, like a windshield wiper. Our mini, or compact, rotary actuators are designed for applications where space is of the essence and torque is as important.
Multi-position
Multi-position actuators provide back and forth rotation between three, four, or five positions in any sequence. The 3 position is the most common, but 4 or 5 position units give additional flexibility
Indexing
Indexing actuators provide unidirectional rotation in fixed precise steps to hard stops. They prevent backward rotation and feature no accumulating error. Single or dual rack indexers available.
Stepping
Stepping actuators provide unidirectional rotation in steps, like indexing actuators, but without the hard stops. These actuators also prevent backward rotation but incur an accumulating error.
Pick & place
Pick & place actuators combine a rotary section with a linear cylinder to provide independently-controlled linear and rotary motion. As multi-motion actuators, they can also provide stepping motion.
Rotomation welcomes requests for special actuators because we understand how they can save our customers money by reducing cost of extra parts or engineering time and/or improving their product or process.
If your application requires a simple modification to one or more parts on one of our standard units.
If your application requires one of our standard actuator to be made from a different material, including stainless steel, due to specific environmental requirements.
If your application would be optimized by having an actuator designed from the ground up to suit your exact needs.
For over 50 years, Rotomation has been the go-to choice for businesses in need of top-notch actuators and drives to meet their manufacturing requirements. Our success is a direct reflection of our customers' triumphs – by offering them high-quality, rugged products tailored to their exact specifications, we ensure unrivaled reliability. But that's not all; our unwavering commitment to exceptional service and support means we all reap the benefits. And here's just a glimpse into our satisfied clientele
