Technical Specification
- Totally enclosed, weatherproof housing in fabricated carbon steel for maximum strength.
- Guide bar resists transverse loads and supports the piston rod.
- Hard chromium plated alloy steel material guarantees corrosion protection and minimal friction.
- PTFE-impregnated bronze or sintered bronze bushings provide minimal friction and extended service life.
- Scotch yoke design with canted or symmetric torque arm allows close working to distinctive valve torque profiles.
- External travel stops for precise angular stroke adjustment 90 degrees +/- 4 degrees at each end of travel.
- Electroless nickel plated and polished cylinder provides maximum corrosion resistance and reduces friction.
- Floating type piston seals provide low hysteresis and high sensitivity, preventing sticking problems.
