Actuator Structure (click to learn more)

Integrate and streamline your design with our compact actuator models, which use the same body and end caps for both double-acting and spring-return mechanisms. This uniformity minimises spare parts inventory, enhancing convenience for customer applications in the field. You can easily modify these actuators by adding or removing spring cartridges, making them highly adaptable and user-friendly.
Our products meet the latest international standards, including ISO 5211, DIN 3337, and VDI/VDE 3845, among others. They are also fully compliant with the NUMAR standard. This ensures easy interchangeability and convenience when replacing or mounting accessories like solenoid valves and limit switches.
Utilise a rack and pinion system with double pistons to benefit from a compact design, extended operational life, and rapid functionality. The tooth surface of the piston, processed via a CNC machining centre, ensures enhanced gear efficiency and precise transmission. This leads to stable and dependable performance. Additionally, altering the rotation direction is straightforward—simply reverse the pistons, thanks to the design’s symmetrical mounting capability.
Dual independent travel stoppers allow for precise and convenient external adjustments of ±5° in two directions. This enables actuators to align with the valve during both the opening and closing phases of the stroke.
Composite bearings and guides in both the pinion and piston guarantee precise functionality, minimal friction, and extended durability. This design effectively safeguards the output shaft against fractures.
The specialised sealing ring positioned between the body and cylinder prevents initial failure due to the suction of the rubber plug. This feature enhances safety, ensures a leak-proof seal, and extends the product's lifespan.
The rack and pinion tooth is engineered with a superior tooth profile ratio for minimal clearance, ensuring precise driving and enhanced output power. This high-precision design delivers reliable performance and efficient power transmission.
The body of the extruded aluminium is treated to resist corrosion both inside and out. A finely ground cylinder surface results in a low coefficient of friction and extends the product's cycle life significantly.
Preload spring cartridges featuring a specialised coating are suitable for numerous applications, offering enhanced security and resistance to corrosion. These modular units are designed to function effectively in various environments, ensuring reliability and long-lasting performance.
High-quality bearings feature reliable seals, low friction, extended service life, and a broad application temperature range.

Frequent Interrogation

A 3 Piece Premium Ball Valve is a type of ball valve consisting of three main components: a central ball with a hole through it, and two end caps. It is known for its durability and ease of maintenance.

These valves are commonly used in various industries for controlling the flow of fluids, including water, oil, gas, and chemicals. They are ideal for isolation and throttling applications.

Premium ball valves often feature high-quality materials, precision machining, and better sealing capabilities, making them more reliable and suitable for critical applications.

Yes, many premium ball valves are available in materials resistant to corrosion, such as stainless steel, making them suitable for handling corrosive substances.

Yes, 3 Piece Premium Ball Valves are often designed to withstand high-pressure environments, making them suitable for industrial and process control systems.

Maintenance typically involves periodic cleaning, lubrication, and replacement of seals or gaskets when necessary. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific maintenance instructions.

They provide excellent flow control, tight shut-off, and minimal pressure drop, making them a preferred choice for many applications. Their disassembly for maintenance without cutting into the pipeline is another advantage.

Yes, many of these valves can be automated by adding actuators, making them suitable for remote or automated control systems.

The temperature range depends on the materials used, but many premium ball valves can handle temperatures from -20°C to 200°C or higher, depending on the design and materials.

Yes it is. In theory you would need to purchase the valves in quantities of two and we can then re-assemble and pressure test prior to shipping.
