Quiet, fast, and much smoother than other cheaper ones I tired. - I build a proof of concept box with a moving lid but used a cheaper desertcart-found actuator. It was much slower and much louder than this. After I was happy with the design and convinced myself it would work well for what I intended, I upgraded to this actuator. Love it. It's much faster and quieter than what I had before and overall, it works great for my use. I can't say if it'll satisfy your wishes but the specs are fairly spot on. I will just say it works well for what it claims to do. Go for it if the specs fit your needs. Review: Great replacement for Sea Ray front window actuator - This was a plug and play replacement for the 4" Sea Ray actuator used for the front window vent of my 340 Sundancer. Works great! Craftsmanship looks great. I still give it 5 stars but I wish the electric wires coming from the unit were placed differently. This is really only for my use case. The OEM part had the wires coming from the front face of the motor where this model has it coming out from the top of the motor. So I just had to bend it a bit and it rubs a little with the Sea Ray cover. Not a fault of this manufacturer as I'm sure other use cases would find it great where it currently is. This company has an excellent reputation in the marine industry for this use and the product lives up to the reputation. ## Features - Compact Size: The PA-14 mini linear actuators offer lots of capabilities in a compact design perfect for installation in areas with tight space constraints - Versatile Specifications: Versatility off the shelf comes available in either 12 VDC or 24VDC options, a wide stroke range from 1 to 40 inches, and force ratings ranging from 35 lbs to 150 lbs - Use Cases: Compact with medium force capabilities, the PA-14 linear actuator has a low current draw and suitable for automotive, automation systems, manufacturing industries, factory, home automation, machinery, material handling adjust, mechanical equipment, medical devices, robotics, smart automation, furniture adjustment, automatic cabinet door opener, deck chair, electric sofa, electric wheelchair, drawer and tool box, pet feeder, recliner, window opener - Compatibility Options: The PA-14 mini linear actuator features a standard 2-Pin Molex Mini-Fit Jr connector, simplifying installation and integration into existing systems - Top Quality: Progressive Automations is ISO 9001:2015 certified and committed to bringing top quality to all our linear actuators to ensure the durability and performance that serve you well over the years ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006P58WKE | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #89,508 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #62 in Linear Motion Actuators | | Certification | Ce | | Color | 50 lbs. | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (188) | | Date First Available | December 22, 2011 | | Included Components | Linear Actuator | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 2.1 pounds | | Item model number | PA-14-8-50 | | Manufacturer | PROGRESSIVE AUTOMATIONS | | Material | Aluminum | | Measurement System | US | | Part Number | PA-14-8-50 | | Product Dimensions | 13.5 x 3.75 x 2.2 inches | | Size | 8" | | Special Features | Easy to Install Portable Quiet | | Style | 50 lbs | | Warranty Description | 18 months warranty | ## Images ![Progressive Automations 12V Mini Linear Electric Actuator - 8 inches, 50 lbs Force, Innovative Compact Design and Versatile Capabilities for Home and General Automation, Automotive, Manufacturing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/610x+V0MeZL.jpg) ![Progressive Automations 12V Mini Linear Electric Actuator - 8 inches, 50 lbs Force, Innovative Compact Design and Versatile Capabilities for Home and General Automation, Automotive, Manufacturing - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Q4ytHor3L.jpg) ![Progressive Automations 12V Mini Linear Electric Actuator - 8 inches, 50 lbs Force, Innovative Compact Design and Versatile Capabilities for Home and General Automation, Automotive, Manufacturing - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71S9oAzh+GL.jpg) ![Progressive Automations 12V Mini Linear Electric Actuator - 8 inches, 50 lbs Force, Innovative Compact Design and Versatile Capabilities for Home and General Automation, Automotive, Manufacturing - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ozBNNvGBL.jpg) ![Progressive Automations 12V Mini Linear Electric Actuator - 8 inches, 50 lbs Force, Innovative Compact Design and Versatile Capabilities for Home and General Automation, Automotive, Manufacturing - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MLmWsaWKL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I Use Your Actuators to Replace The One That I Already Have?** A: Our actuators can be seamless replacements for most applications, however, should verify the necessary specifications for compatibility such as voltage rating, force rating, speed, ingress protection requirements, and stroke length. **Q: Are All of Your Control Boxes Compatible With All Of Your Linear Actuators?** A: No. However, we have a large variety of control boxes to choose from for each actuator. Alternatively, you may also use rocker switches as a form of motion control. **Q: Can I Use My Own Control Box?** A: Yes, however, you need to ensure your control box can provide sufficient current draw and compatible voltage. Otherwise, you risk damaging your actuator(s). **Q: Can I Use My Own Power Supply as a Source For My Actuators?** A: Yes. However, it is important to have sufficient voltage and current to be applied to your actuator. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it. Quiet, fast, and much smoother than other cheaper ones I tired. *by S***P on March 17, 2021* I build a proof of concept box with a moving lid but used a cheaper amazon-found actuator. It was much slower and much louder than this. After I was happy with the design and convinced myself it would work well for what I intended, I upgraded to this actuator. Love it. It's much faster and quieter than what I had before and overall, it works great for my use. I can't say if it'll satisfy your wishes but the specs are fairly spot on. I will just say it works well for what it claims to do. Go for it if the specs fit your needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great replacement for Sea Ray front window actuator *by C***W on May 14, 2021* This was a plug and play replacement for the 4" Sea Ray actuator used for the front window vent of my 340 Sundancer.

I inspected the item while it was still in its plastic wrapping only to find the product looked used. Against my better judgement I opened the wrapping and tested the product, luckily this seems to be a cosmetic issue only and the performance of the actuator was not hindered in any way. Love Progressive Automations products, but I did pay for a new product and this appeared used. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/87436592-progressive-automations-12v-mini-linear-electric-actuator-8-inches-50](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/87436592-progressive-automations-12v-mini-linear-electric-actuator-8-inches-50) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
