Pneumatic Rotary.

  • The Vahn-Tech Series 4X4 packs more than double the torque of conventional rack and pinion actuators thanks to its four pistons generating torque around a centrally located pinion. With more pistons in the actuator, this allows the actuator being more compact with size reduced by more than 30% compared to double piston actuator of the same torque. With four small cylinders each located on one of four sides of the unit and at a given air pressure, the 4x4 produces the same torque output as double piston models using smaller diameter pistons and a narrower pinion. The narrower pinion allows the pistons to travel shorter distances so that they can move faster from one position to the next.

  • The DFS series scotch and Yoke Pneumatic Actuators are heavy-duty actuators for operating large diameter ball valves, butterfly valves, plug valves and other 90˚ rotating mechanism. Available with two yoke deigns namely symmetrical design and canted yoke design. Cylinder blocks are plated with hard chromium to increase the service life of the actuators. The piston rod and guide block connection superior surface finish and the self-lubricating bearings maximize the input energy transfer directly to the valve stem and ensure reliable operation over the service life of the actuator. Can be supplied with the complete line of controls and monitoring accessories, including hand wheel, hydraulic manual override, limit switches, solenoid valves, positioners and other control accessories.
    Economical Scotch Yoke
  • The Vahn-Tech Series DFS is an economic rack and pinion style pnuematic actuator, with both captured coil spring-return and double-acting configurations. With standardized accessory (VDI/VDE 3845) and valve (ISO 5211) mounting pads, packaging with Vahn-Tech and third-party valves and accessories is simplified and easy.
    Economical Rack & Pinion
  • The Limitorque LPC series is a compact pneumatic scotch yoke actuator for on/off, inching and light modulating applications on quarter-turn small-to-medium sized valves in general and protective services for the oil & gas market. Equipment performance and safety standards continue to evolve and increase across the infrastructure industries. These stringent demands are particularly dynamic in oil and gas, where perpetually increasing emphases on personnel safety and equipment uptime is the norm. To more aggressively meet these demands, Flowserve Limitorque is offering the LPC Pneumatic Compact Scotch yoke actuator, specifically designed to meet or exceed the latest and most rigorous of these requirements.
    Compact Scotch Yoke
  • Limitorque's LPS heavy-duty pneumatic scotch yoke actuator is the innovative, reliable choice for on/off, inching and modulating automation applications on quarter-turn medium-to-large sized valves in general and protective services for the oil & gas market. LPS actuators provide up to 550 kNm (405 659 ft-lb) of heavy-duty torque. Enhanced performance is achieved by using a superior Scotch yoke support design that significantly reduces transverse loads. LPS actuators feature modular construction to minimize repair time and initial cost while maximizing process availability.
    Heavy Duty Scotch Yoke
  • The Limitorque LRP provides durable functionality and prolonged service life through unique features such as piston support rods within the actuator, ensuring that side loads generated by the pistons are transmitted through bearings in the end cap and not the body. This eliminates the need for the body to be used as a loadbearing surface and promotes longer service life. The support rod design of the Limitorque LRP actuator distinguishes it from the standard rack and pinion design and offers reliable operation, performance stability and longer service life.
    Twin Piston Rack & Pinion
  • The Valtek NR diaphragm actuator is a compact actuator with high torque and pneumatic stiffness for excellent throttling capabilities. The splined shaft connection eliminates backlash for precise control. Designed for supply air pressures to 80 psi (6 Bar). The high stiffness and rolling diaphragm provides firm control from 0 to 90 degrees.
    Spring Diaphragm
  • Ever since its introduction back in the 1980s, NAF Turnex has proven its unique features and maintenance-free operation. The robust linkage system with bushing provides an optimum torque curve for quarter turn valves and eliminates play. This makes it ideal for rotary control applications. NAF Turnex is an integrated part in the NAF control valve package with a unique direct mounting concept. The actuator is also used for on/off service and has adjustable end-stops in both directions. Ever since we developed this state-of-the-art actuator the spare parts have been the same. This, combined with a unique system of sleeves, for different stem diameters, minimizes the number of spare parts.
    Compact Piston Linkage
  • The Valtek VR rotary cylinder actuator is a high pressure, compact actuator with high torque and pneumatic stiffness for excellent throttling capabilities. The standard splined shaft connection eliminates backlash for precise control. Designed for supply air pressures to 150 psi (10.3 Bar) to eliminate the need for a pressure regulator. The high stiffness provides firm control from 0 to 90 degrees.
