The A01 is the smallest in the Rotomation tie rod actuator family but shares many of the same construction features and options as its bigger counterparts. It is very rugged and extremely flexible, with nearly a billion standard configurations, each of which can be assembled to order and typically ship within a few days. The A01 has been tested to more than 20 million maintenance-free duty cycles.
Specifications:
See the A01 Rotary Actuator Part Number page for detailed configuration and option information.

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