Pneumatic Stainless Steel (BI-SS)

Description

BI-TORQ Valve Automation's Pneumatic Actuators are compact and reliable actuators in rack and pinion design for consistent torque output. The BI-Series actuator is housed in corrosion resistent stainless steel, ideal for environments where sanitary requirements are necessary and where objects corrode in damp conditions. Pulp and paper, marine, and dairy are ideal markets plus many others. The series has an anti-blowout system that prevents damage from over pressurization. Durable, precision cast pistons provide full engagement with the pinion. The one-piece alloy shaft has machine gear teeth for precision operations. Heavy-duty spring cartridges allow for easy conversion of a double acting actuator to a spring return actuator, or to modify the torque output depending on air pressure. A slotted shaft, along with the Namur bolt pattern, allows for direct mounting of Namur standard switches and positioners.

Our actuators are also available as part of a complete automated valve package or as a retrofit to existing valves in the field with our customized mounting hardware. Available in double acting or spring return. Pnuematic Actuator in Aluminum housing is also available.
