- Actuator Mounting: Manufactured in accordance with ISO 5211 to ensure mounting the actuator directly on valves.
- Manufactured in accordance with the international VDI/VDE 3845 NAMUR standard permitting direct.
- Hard Anodized Extruded Aluminum body.
- Internal porting, eliminating external tubing.
- Pre-loaded Cartridges: Converts a standard double acting actuator to a spring return unit by simply removing the end caps and adding the spring cartridges.
- Travel Stops: Provides +/-4° travel adjustment in outboard direction.
- Permanently lubricated nitrile seats.
Conbraco Acutorque Stainless Steel Actuator
- Investment Cast Stainless Steel Body.
- Unique Drive Pinion: One-piece stainless steel alloy shaft, precision machined gear and teeth for precise control.
- Bearings: Replaceable top and bottom TFE Pinion Bearings to ensure low friction, stability above 400°F, and chemical resistance.
- Travel Stops: Provides +/-4° travel adjustment in outboard direction.
- Accessory Mounting: Manufactured to NAMUR to provide international standardized mounting.
- Stainless Steel Pistons: Precision cast pistons are guided through full face engagement with the opinion and piston guide.
- NAMUR Slotted Shaft: Standard to provide a self-centering positive drive for positioners, a variety of switches.
- Actuator Mounting: Manufactured in accordance with ISO 5211 to ensure mounting the actuator directly on valves.
- Pre-loaded Cartridges: Converts a standard double acting actuator to a spring return unit by simply removing the end caps and adding the spring cartridges.
- NAMUR Solenoid Mounting: International standard for direct mounting of solenoid valves.
Conbraco G-Series Scotch-Yoke Actuator
- Operating Ranges: G-Series double acting actuators produce guaranteed minimum torque outputs from 10,000 lb-in. up to 6,000,000 lb-in. The spring return units produce spring torques from 2,500 lb-in. to 3,000,000 lb-in.
- Standard operating pressures: Pneumatic — to 200 psig (14 BAR)
- NAMUR: The shaft driven accessory interface conforms to the NAMUR standard and is identical on all G-Series actuators, allowing for standardization of accessory mounting hardware and installation practices.
- Pneumatic and hydraulic scotch-yoke actuators.
- Automates ball, butterfly, plug valves and any other 90° rotating mechanisms.
- Salt Spray Testing per ASTM B117 criteria. Construction features prevent water ingress, allowing G-Series actuators to meet IP 66 and IP 67M specifications and severe high pressure water deluge test.
- Standard operating temperature is -20°F to +200°F (-29°C to +93°C)
- Optional trims available: 0°F to +350°F (-18°C to +177°C) -50°F to +180°F (-46°C to +82°C)
- Mechanical and hydraulic manual overrides are available.
- MSS and ISO Valve Mounting.
- The G-Series valve interface meets the dimensional requirements of MSS SP-101 or ISO 5211 defined for each torque range.
Apollo AE Series Actuator
- Five Output Torques, One Housing - 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 inch-pounds.
- Long Service Life.
- Newly developed anodized die cast aluminum housing.
- Fiberglass reinforced nylon cover with UV stabilizers resists corrosion.
- Nitrile gasket and seals cover all penetration points in housing and cover.
- Precision cut and heat-treated alloy spur gears.
- Permanently lubricated enclosed gear train.
- Two separate 1/2” NPT conduit entrances for easier wiring and signal separation.
- 12-position pre-wired terminal strip includes standard connections for remote open/closed position indicators; lots of room for wiring options.
- Unrestricted mounting orientation.
- Built-in thermal overload protection in all AC motor actuators.
- Limit switches have an 11-amp rating at 115 VAC.
- High visibility valve position indicator standard on all models.
- Actuators can be ordered with one, two or three additional limit switches.
- For low temperatures: actuators can be equipped with a thermostatically controlled heater element.
- Motor brake is necessary when mounting actuator to a butterfly valve.
Indicators - Limit Switches - Solenoid Valves - Positioners - Lockouts
Automation packages are completed with accessories supplied from ASCO, Stonel, Moniteur, Westlock, Proximity, PMV, and VRC among others.
