xPA is a universal actuator, specially designed to engage/release vehicle pedals. Thanks to its flexibility, xPA  can also be used in engine test cells (throttle control) and transmission test cells (opening and closing the gearbox clutch), and, in general, wherever there is a mechanical device to be actuated.

xPA is available in three versions, depending on the intended application:
- APA: Accelerator Pedal Actuator, to actuate the gas pedal;
- BPA: Brake Pedal Actuator, to actuate the brake pedal;
- CPA: Clutch Pedal Actuator, to actuate the clutch pedal.

xPA is composed of two elements:
- a mechanical unit, to be placed on the vehicle floor (for use on vehicles), or, in other settings, next to the mechanism to be actuated;
- a control unit, fitted with trimmers for the manual control of the actuator.
