PSV Mitech’s range of pneumatic rotary actuators is custom designed to suit various applications. The instruments are low maintenance and available with either a double crank mechanism for modulating control or a scotch yoke mechanism for on/off duty. The double crank provides high run torques, negligible backlash and low friction, while the scotch yoke adds the advantage of high end torques.
The actuators are field reversible from clockwise-to-close to clockwise-to-open and a Namur mounting for switch packs or positioners is provided on the top shaft and transfer case lid. With their pneumatic piston design, the actuators are offered in large sizes and can be engineered and fitted to most valves up to a 250,000Nm torque.
By utilising a square drive, the actuators can be mounted perpendicular to, or in-line with, the pipe work, and the adjustable end stops can be externally adjusted in both the open and closed position to within 7°. The single spring design makes the actuator easy to assemble and disassemble, while pressure seals are all simple ‘O’ rings for ease of maintenance.
Typical applications include power generation, petrochemical, mining, pulp and paper, breweries and iron and steel industries.
