Air actuators with close-mounted Cheminert injector (top) and with Valco injector on a 2" standoff
- Reliable performance under stringent conditions
- Light weight and low gas consumption suitable for aerospace applications
- High temperature model for use up to 175°C
- Can be automated with the addition of a Digital Valve Interface (DVI)
The recommended method for implementing a two position air actuator is a
manifold solenoid valve assembly (MSVA2), a block-mounted pair of 3-way solenoids that pulses
air to the actuator to switch it from position to position. If air is applied continuously, the continuous rotational
force applied to the valve can cause sideloading, leaking, and additional wear. This implementation is described more fully in
Technical Note 405.
Typical actuation pressure is 40 to 50 psig, but up to 80 psig may be used. Ideally, you should use only enough
air pressure to switch the valve in 1/3 to 1/2 second.
The actuator's rotation must be properly matched to the valves.
If you are converting a manual valve to air
actuation and have any doubts about which actuator and hardware you need,
contact our sales or technical staff for assistance.
