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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

High-quality bearings feature reliable seals, low friction, extended service life, and a broad application temperature range.

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.

Frequent Interrogation

Yes, this Valve is suitable for water within the pressure and temperature limitations.

Not in its current format however we can offer both options. Get in touch through sales@actuation.co.uk or 0151 547 1221 and we will run through some safety options with you for quoting.

It certainly does. All of our actuated valves come complete with a full set of operations and maintenance manuals from both the valve and actuator manufacturers.

Yes! Position feedback is included as standard with switches for open and closed positions.

Maybe. Give us a call to find out.
No.
Most definitely. We will require some more information. Drop us an email or get in touch on the blower.
Yes we can. Plane label or with a big bow. Send us a copy of your delivery note and we will fix it to the box. Jop done.
We will need to talk to Big Tony. If he says you're good for the debt then everything is in order. You can apply for this on the product page or ask for Big Tony when you get in touch.
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.
Collections are welcomed. Give us a call in advance and we can get you a time that suits.
