Pneumatic Actuator

High-performance ART seriesPneumatic Actuator for industrial automation. Durable, precise, and energy-efficient with compact design for versatile applications.

High-performance pneumatic actuators for industrial automation. Durable, reliable, and available in multiple torque ranges (12-8000 Nm) with double-acting (DA) and spring-return (SR) variants.


Precision Pneumatic Actuators for Industrial Automation

Our pneumatic actuator series delivers exceptional torque output (12-8000 Nm) with industry-leading reliability. Designed for demanding valve automation applications across oil & gas, chemical processing, and water treatment industries.

Key Advantages

  • Robust Construction: Aluminum/steel housing withstands harsh industrial environments
  • Precision Control: Consistent torque output across full pressure range (2-8 bar)
  • Low Maintenance: Self-lubricating bearings and corrosion-resistant components
  • Flexible Mounting: ISO 5211 standard mounting interface for valve compatibility
  • Safety Compliance: ATEX certification available for explosive atmospheres

Industrial Applications

These pneumatic actuators are engineered for critical flow control applications:

  • Ball valve / butterfly valve automation in pipeline systems
  • Process control in chemical manufacturing plants
  • Water/wastewater treatment facility automation
  • Power generation plant auxiliary systems
  • Marine and offshore platform fluid handling

Selection Guidance

For optimal performance:

  1. Calculate required torque based on valve size and operating pressure
  2. Choose DA (double-acting) for continuous operation or SR (spring-return) for fail-safe requirements
  3. Consider environmental factors (temperature, hazardous areas)
  4. Verify mounting compatibility with existing valve standards

Why Our Pneumatic Actuators?

With 30+ years of field performance data, our actuators outperform competitors in:

  • Cycle life (1 million+ operations for standard models)
  • Response time (<1 second for 90° rotation in most models)
  • Energy efficiency (optimized air consumption design)

Features & Benefits

Features & Benefits

Actuator Body

According to the different requirements, the extruded aluminum alloy ASTM6005 Body can be treated with hard anodized, powder polyester painted (different colours is available such as blue, orange, yellow etc.), PTFE or Nickel plated.

End caps

Die-casting aluminum powder polyester painted in different colours, PTFE or Nickel plated.

Pistons

The twin rack pistons are made from Die-casting aluminum treated with Hard anodized or made from Cast steel with galvanization. Symmetric mounting position, long cycle life and fast operation, reversing rotation by simply inverting the pistons.

Travel adjustment

The two independent external travel stop adjuatment bolts can adjust +5° at both open and close directions easily and precisely.

High performance springs

Preloaded coating springs are made from the high quality material for resistant to corrosion and longer service life, which can be demounted safely and conveniently to satisfy different requirements of torque by changing quantity of springs.
