Option-31, Pneumatic Actuator

Pneumatic Rotary Actuator

This is a rack and pinion pneumatic actuator option which can be factory-fitted to standard AGP bellows-fitted rotary motion feedthroughs. It is ideally suited for applications requiring 30° to 90° of arc-motion, which can be modified and/or fine-tuned via threaded adjustment screws located at each end of actuator air cylinders. It provides 1.09 oz-in of torque per 1-psi of air pressure (150 psi maximum). This pneumatic actuator option also includes an electrical solenoid valve, air fittings, and 1/8 inch Nylon air supply lines.

Links to other actuator automation options include...
