MA4 Series

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The MA4 series electric linear actuator by TiMOTION is designed for heavy-duty applications in harsh environments. It supports a maximum load of 3,500N (push) and 2,000N (pull) with a speed of 1.8mm/s at maximum load and 43mm/s at no load. The actuator is compact, making it suitable for limited installation spaces, and is ideal for agricultural and industrial equipment.
Specifications: The actuator operates on 12/24V DC with an IP69K rating, ensuring protection against dust and high-pressure water. It functions optimally within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with full performance between +5°C and +45°C. The stroke length ranges from 20mm to 1000mm, with a minimum retracted length requirement of stroke + 106mm.
Features and Options: The MA4 series offers options such as adjustable reed switches, mechanical POT, and Hall sensors. The T-Smart version includes a built-in microprocessor for enhanced functionality, such as stroke and speed setup, real-time status monitoring, and synchronization of up to 8 actuators.
Performance Data: The actuator's performance varies with load and motor speed. At 6000 RPM, the speed and current vary across different load codes, with the highest speed of 43mm/s at no load for a 250N load. At 3800 RPM, the maximum speed is 3.0mm/s for a 3500N load.
Ordering Information: The MA4 series offers various configurations for voltage, front and rear attachments, position feedback, and bus interfaces. The ordering key provides detailed options for customizing the actuator to specific needs, including IP ratings and installation directions.
Installation and Wiring: Detailed instructions are provided for installation direction and wiring configurations, including wire definitions and gauge specifications for different output signals and T-Smart functionalities.
Notes: Users are advised to refer to approved drawings for final values and to consider voltage variations affecting current and speed. The suitability of the product for specific applications is the user's responsibility, and specifications are subject to change without notice.

MA4 Series-1

Product Segments • Industrial Motion TiMOTION’s MA4 series electric linear actuator was specifically designed for heavy-duty applications and harsh working environments that require durability. The MA4’s compact size is suitable for limited installation space but can afford a maximum 3500N force. Applications suitable for the MA4 include agricultural equipment such as fertilizer, seed spreader, harvesters, grain handlers, combines, tractors…etc. Also, commercial and industrial applications include commercial lawn mowers, scrubbers, sweepers, and material handling equipment. Furthermore, the MA4 has an optional T-Smart (note 1) version, which can work with the PGMA (note 2) to achieve the following functionality: - Set up the actuator’s stroke and speed - Multiple signal feedbacks support - Monitor real-time actuator status - Up to 8 actuator synchronization - Built-in safety mechanism - Customized service for BUS required applications (note 3) Note 1: T iMOTION develops T-Smart functionality. With T-Smart, the actuator has a built-in circuit board with a microprocessor that can operate the actuator without a control box. Note 2: P GMA is a software program developed by TiMOTION. Users can install this programmer into the laptop and adjust the actuator parameters directly. Note 3: Please contact your local sales department for further assistance.
