Pneumatic Actuator

Product Code: MD-VLV-0055

Features: The FAF3750 pneumatic actuator converts energy from a compressed-air system into mechanical motion for automated valve control. | Actuator selection is based on actuator type, required torque and mounting dimensions. | Actuator mounting dimensions comply with ISO 5211. | The actuator body is extruded aluminum, the shaft is stainless steel and the sealing elements are NBR rubber. | Typical operating pressure is 6 bar. | Technical support from the FAF sales team is recommended when selecting actuators for FAF valves. | Pneumatic actuators are available as quarter-turn (90°) rotary actuators and linear actuators. | Quarter-turn pneumatic actuators convert the linear movement of internal pistons into rotary movement through a rack-and-pinion mechanism. | Quarter-turn versions can be supplied with adjustable stroke / rotation angle. | Available as double-acting or single-acting spring-return versions and suitable for ball, butterfly and plug valves. | Linear piston-type pneumatic actuators transfer piston movement directly to the valve stem and are manufactured to the stroke required by the valve. | Linear versions are available as double-acting or single-acting spring-return designs. | Suitable for gate valves and knife gate valves.
