Flowserve Automax Double Acting Pneumatic Actuator

A rack and pinion pneumatic actuator that converts compressed air into quarter turn rotary motion, used to automate valves such as ball, butterfly and plug valves. Air fail, stay put operation means the actuator holds its last position if instrument air supply is lost, as both the opening and closing strokes rely on air pressure.

Suited to process environments where reliable valve positioning is required even during air supply interruptions. Operating temperature range extends from minus 30°C to plus 80°C, allowing use across a range of climates and process conditions.

Applications:

• Automation of ball valves
• Automation of butterfly valves
• Automation of plug valves
• Automation of dampers
• Chemical processing
• Oil and gas
• Water and wastewater treatment
• Food and beverage
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing
• Power generation
• General process industries

Summary:

• Double acting rack and pinion pneumatic actuator
• Air fail, stay put function
• Converts compressed air into quarter turn rotary motion
• Operating temperature range of minus 30°C to plus 80°C
• Suitable for automating quarter turn valves and dampers
• Used across chemical, oil and gas, water, power, food and pharmaceutical industries
