For narrow mounting situations and low air consumption the pneumatic actuators have been made even more compact. The gap-free design ensures optimum cleanability and fulfils highest demands to hygiene.
Torque maxima towards both end positions enable application on both normally closed and normally open valves. Metallic stops ensure exact disk positioning. There are air-to-spring and air-to-air variants.
The integrated T.VIS® interface also safely accommodates optional accessories – booster cylinder, two-position stop and limit stop. The internal pneumatic system reduces the risk of failures, being without external tubing.
All actuators are by default applicable for Ex zones. Compliance of any electric accessories with Ex regulations must be ensured.
