These actuators are also often used for automation of quarter turn valves like ball or butterfly valves.
Pneumatic rack and pinion actuator.
Mt series rack pinion pneumatic actuators continue the max air tradition of easy integration flexible customization and reliable operation.
Typically pneumatic air pressure is used to power the actuator.
Pneumatic rack and pinion actuators offer many features and benefits for the operational actuation of ball butterfly and plug valves.
We can accessorize them to accomplish virtually any control requirement.
For valve automation a common actuator design uses two piston type racks moving in opposite directions to ensure balanced forces on the pinion.
The compact and lightweight design provides an easy installation with a virtually maintenance free fit and forget unit.
Rack and pinion pneumatic actuators also called limited rotation cylinders are rotary actuators used for turning opening closing mixing oscillating positioning steering and many more mechanical functions involving restricted rotation.
Flowserve automax supernova series rack and pinion actuators are designed for butterfly plug or ball valves and offer one compact design for double acting and spring return functionality.
They are available with various mounting dimension configurations and span eleven models for appropriate torque compatibility.
