Three Point Suspension Systems
|
Patented Balanced Piston Design
|
Dual Opposed Piston Design
|
| Three carbon filled Teflon©
guide bands provide a low friction bearing surface for piston alignment
and rack support. |
As part of our exclusive
suspension system, three equally spaced bearing surfaces are cast into
each piston. |
Air pressure is applied
to two piston areas simultaneously to deliver a "balanced force" across
the diameter of a common pinion gear. |
| Elimination of metal-to-metal
contact between pistons and cylinder wall reduces friction for outstanding
cycle life, smooth piston travel, and maximum power. |
Transfer of maximum power
occurs along the central guide band at the point of rack and pinion contact
resulting in even distribution of bearing loads, optimum gear engagement,
and elimination of piston tilting. |
Dual opposed design results
in a piston diameter 41% smaller than a single piston design. Symmetrically
balanced center mount construction eliminates undue stress on valve stem,
neck, and piping system. |

Alloy 70-75 Drive Shaft
|
Multiple Spring Concept
|
Recessed Output Drive
|
| High performance aluminum
alloy exclusive to EL-O-MATIC actuators ensures precision rack and pinion
engagement. |
Off-the-shelf availability
of multiple spring design means actuators are available for 40, 60, 80,
or 100 psig supply air requirements. |
All units feature a recessed
square drive that is precision machined for accurate positioning and is
designed to ISO 5211. |
| Lightweight alloy shaft
provides greater corrosion resistance. |
Equal spring force application
to each piston enhances actuator life while conversion from double acting
to spring return is simple and safe. |
A universal adapter is
available to provide "direct couple" to valve stem (E25 through E1600 only). |
