Pneumatic Butterfly Valve Actuator | Hovercraft | Double Acting or Spring Return

$220.30
Model | Torque | Air Consumption (Cubic In)
  • Wide Torque Range: Handles up to 23,500 in-lbs (Double Acting) and 10,361 in-lbs (Spring Return) at 80 PSI—suitable for mid to heavy-duty butterfly valve automation.
  • Versatile Media Compatibility: Primarily air-operated, but also compatible with water, nitrogen, and hydraulic fluids, giving you installation flexibility.
  • Heavy-Duty Design: Features anodized aluminum body, die-cast caps and pistons, nickel-plated steel pinion, and technopolymer spring cartridges for durability in industrial environments.
  • NAMUR & ISO Mounting Standards: Universal fit with NAMUR solenoid and limit switch connections (VDI/VDE 3845), plus ISO 5211 mounting for fast adaptation to existing valve systems.
  • Efficient Operation: High-cycle shaft bearings, ±10° adjustable travel stops, and low air consumption per cycle—just 25.6 cu-in on the smallest DA model—make this actuator both rugged and efficient.
