Chapter 2: Installing the PowerStation

Preparing for Installation

Preparing for Installation

Once you select a location for the PA PowerStation, you will need to create a cutout for the unit.

If you plan to operate the PA PowerStation using AC power, and you purchased Parker’s optional AC Power Supply, you will need to prepare a location for the Power Supply also.

Procedures for creating the cutout and preparing a location for the AC Power Supply are described below. If you already have an appropriate cutout and are using DC power, continue with Installing the PA PowerStation on page 2-7.

Creating the Cutout

Be sure to follow the cutout diagrams in the dimensional drawings precisely. This ensures that the PowerStation is properly sealed in its enclosure. You can find the dimensional drawings on the PA PowerStation CD shipped with your unit.

1Measure the cutout dimensions as shown in the table below.

2Attach the template securely to the mounting surface.

3Cut out the shaded area on the template referred to as the Panel Cutout Area. To ensure the flatness of the mounting surface, when punching out the mounting hole, maintain proper surface flatness and edge quality.

The cutout dimensions for the PA PowerStation are shown in the following table:

PA Model

Cutout Height

Cutout Width

PA05S

4.91”

6.20”

PA06S

 

 

PA08S

6.08”

8.67”

PA08T

 

 

PA10T

9.86”

12.60”

PA15T

12.40”

15.90”

4Debur the edges of the cutout area, removing dirt and debris that might come in contact with the unit.

5More information is available on the CD that comes with the PA PowerStation. Be sure to refer to the dimensional drawings found on the CD when creating your cutout.

PA Series specifications

Parker Hannifin, a global leader in motion and control technologies, has developed the PA Series, a line of advanced linear actuators designed to enhance industrial automation and machinery with reliable performance and integration capabilities. These actuators are engineered for precision, offering a range of features that cater to diverse applications in various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.

One of the main features of the PA Series is its compact design, which allows for flexible installation even in limited spaces. The actuators are available in various sizes and configurations, enabling engineers to choose the most suitable option for their specific requirements. This versatility in design contributes to efficient operations, as the PA Series can be easily integrated into existing systems or used in new machinery.

The technology behind the PA Series is noteworthy for its robust construction and high durability. These actuators are built with high-quality materials that ensure long service life, even in demanding environments. They are designed to withstand mechanical stress, temperature fluctuations, and exposure to contaminants, making them ideal for use in harsh industrial conditions.

In addition to their strength, the PA Series actuators incorporate advanced motion control technologies. This includes closed-loop systems that ensure accurate positioning and repeatability. With integrated feedback mechanisms such as encoders, the actuators can provide real-time data on position and speed, allowing for precise control and adjustments during operation.

Another significant characteristic of the PA Series is its energy efficiency. The actuators are designed to minimize power consumption while maximizing output performance. This not only reduces operational costs but also supports sustainable practices in industrial operations.

Furthermore, the PA Series features a user-friendly interface for easy programming and control. This accessibility allows engineers and technicians to quickly set up and modify actuator parameters according to specific project demands. As industries continue to evolve towards automation, the flexibility and scalability of the PA Series make it an ideal choice for companies looking to enhance their productivity and efficiency.

Overall, the Parker Hannifin PA Series stands out for its innovative design, superior technology, and reliable performance. Whether deployed in robotics, assembly lines, or material handling applications, these actuators are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial automation.
