Key Features
- Genuine OEM Linear Actuator — Manufactured to exact OEM specifications for the PA-17 2" actuator unit, ensuring correct travel length and output force for blade pitch control.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting interface and connector configuration on LD and MD series trowels, allowing straightforward swaps during servicing.
- Broad Hydrostatic Trowel Fitment — Confirmed for LD6, LD6SL, MD80, MD105, and LD60 hydrostatic ride-on power trowels.
- Precise Blade Pitch Adjustment — Maintains accurate and consistent blade pitch positioning so the trowel delivers a uniform finish pass on concrete slabs.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — As an electrically actuated component in the trowel's blade control circuit, using the correct OEM part prevents miscalibrated pitch response and potential operator control issues.
The linear actuator on a hydrostatic ride-on trowel is the electromechanical component responsible for adjusting the pitch angle of the finishing blades. When the operator commands a blade pitch change, the actuator extends or retracts to physically reposition the pitch control mechanism, directly affecting how aggressively the blades work the concrete surface. A worn or failed actuator causes inconsistent or unresponsive blade pitch, which can lead to uneven surface finishing, operator frustration, and extended pour cycles.
