Progressive Automations DC Speed Controller for 12-40 VDC Actuators

Progressive Automations, a leader in the linear motion industry, has over 15 years of experience in automation. Their engineering team has created a number of profitable linear motion products that are plug-and-play and suitable for different applications, including Linear Actuators and Modular Lifting Columns.

The company's focus is on creating a passionate team that enjoys their work in a spacious facility. They collaborate with new clients daily and eagerly embrace the opportunity to expand as the demand for automation grows. Progressive Automations' products are unique because the company has over 15 years of industry experience, which they apply to designing a wide range of linear motion products suitable for various applications. Additionally, the ISO 9001:2015 certification proves their dedication to continuous improvement in procedures, services, products, and the Quality Management System.

Some of the key features of Progressive Automations' products include:

1. Arduino Compatible: The 5V input voltage allows for the expansion of use with Arduino microcontrollers.
2. Timer Switch Functions: The programmable timer with memory presets can be set for 17 presets to control actuators in one direction.
3. High Current Ratings: The use of high current relays with low current controllers allows for the control of high current actuators.
4. Variable Control Knob: The speed controllers allow users to adjust an actuator's speed from the maximum rated speed to zero.
5. Durable Materials: The use of durable materials and reliability from an ISO certified company ensures that the products will serve customers well over the years.

The company offers a range of controllers and relays, including the LC-201 Relay Module, AC-26-30 Speed Controller, AC-21 Digital Timer, AC-29-16-12 SPDT Relay, LC-80 Arduino H-bridge, AC-30-30-12 SPDT Relay, and LC-12 Controller. Each of these products has its own unique features and specifications, catering to different needs and applications.

The SPDT (single pole, double throw) relays are used to separate two circuits electrically and connect them magnetically, allowing for various control options for linear actuators. The LC-12 PC USB interface controller pairs with the PA-12 Micro Precision Servo Actuator, enabling operation parameters and memory parameter settings, motion testing, and voltage, load, temperature, and position monitoring of the actuator. For timer functions in extension and retraction, two digital timers are needed, one for each direction. The LC-80 H-bridge shield for Arduino can control up to 30A of current at 28V, and with the addition of relays, it can control up to 6 actuators in half-bridge mode (single direction).

Overall, Progressive Automations' products offer a wide range of features and capabilities, catering to the diverse needs of customers in the linear motion industry.
