Pressures to 150000 psi (10342 bar) Diaphragm type air-operated valves are an efficient and economical means for “remote on-off” control of a wide range of process requirements. Diaphragm type actuators are designed to provide a dependable alternative to piston type actuators.
Autoclave Engineer’s diaphragm type air actuators feature:
Economical diaphragm design.
Air-to-open or -close with spring return.
Integral connection of valve and operator for height resticted applications.
Oversized weep holes for separation of process and air operator pressures.
Stem position indicator optional.
Medium actuator cycle life.
Air Operator Materials Upper and lower housing, spring housing
Anodized aluminum.
Diaphragm plate
Cast ductile iron.
