1.Energized and self-lubricated strips
Less friction between piston and cylinder
It prevents the bonding of the seal to the cylinder even after long periods of inactivity

2.Slots, bushes and pins made by steel with hardness higher than 50 HRC
Higher resistance to the forces inside the actuator

3.Rolling friction between piston and slot
Less friction

4.Scotch yoke with rolling friction (transforming rotary motion into linear motion using piston and shaft without teeths/gears)
Reduced friction between piston and shaft with consequently less wear on the relevant parts
Empowered Breakaway Torque (BTO & BTC)
Smaller volume/size than rack and pinion actuators (with the same torque) therefore less space required for installation
Less weight than the rack and pinion (-30% kg / Nm), with consequent savings on the construction sizing of the plant/equipment
Lower air consumption compared to the rack and pinion actuators (-40% air cm3/Nm for Double Acting and -20% air cm3/Nm for Spring Return) therefore less load on the compressor or the possibility of using a smaller compressor's size.

5.Rolled cylinder

Less wear of the energized ties thanks to the low roughness of the surface

6.Stainless steel shaft
Higher corrosion resistance

From sizes bigger than GD15, NAMUR interface for solenoid valve is already integrated.
No need for extra plate.

100% in- house manufacturing process technology
Maximum control and accuracy in all the stages of the manufacturing process

ATEX Certificate
Installation is allowed in a potential explosive environment

Up to SIL 3 Certified
Guarantee of the high level of functional safety.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
Torque from 360 Nm to 960 Nm
Mounting flange according to EN ISO 5211; F10 - F12 - F14 - F16
In compliance with EN 15714-3
Rotation angle 92° (-1°, +91°)
Torque: the return torque depends on spring action only notwithstanding the air supply
The spring is provided in four different sizes; see table - general catalogue pneumatic actuator GS br>The actuator automatic closing takes place in clockwise direction by means of its springs
In the code of standard version GS actuators, it is indicated the size of the springs (6=5,6 bar) followed by the breakaway torque in Nm at 5,6 bar air supply.
Actuator with epoxy painting
ATEX version in conformity with directive 2014/34/EU

WORKING CONDITION

Temperature: from -20°C to +80°C.
Air supply: 5,6 bar; maximum 8,4 bar.
Actuating media: filtered dry compressed air, not necessarily lubricated. In case of lubricated air, either non detergent oil, NBR compatible oil, must be used.
