Air Actuators - Multiposition

  • 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 Serial Valve Interface (SVI)

The recommended method for implementing a selector (multiposition) air actuator requires only a single 4-way solenoid. This implementation is described more fully in Technical Note 406. Up to 80 psig may be used without damaging the valve or actuator.

Multiposition air actuators include a rotary switch which may be connected to a digital readout or your own design.

The actuator's number of positions must be properly matched to the valve's. If you are converting a manual valve to electric actuation and have any doubts about which actuator and hardware you need, contact our sales or technical staff for assistance.

TECH TIPS

  • We recommend bottled instrument air or nitrogen. If plant air from compressors must be used, an oil separator and water dryer are required.
  • Valves can be ordered with an air actuator already installed. Refer to:

MOUNTING HARDWARE

An actuator can be specified with closemount hardware, with a standoff, or with just the standoff mounting hardware, if your valve already has a standoff.
