El-O-Matic E-Series Spring Return Pneumatic Actuators
Original E & P Series El-O-Matic Pneumatic actuators are powerful and compact double rack and pinion units for use with ball, butterfly and plug valves and any device requiring accurate and dependable quarter turn rotary motion. The use of high grade steel and aluminium components together with El-O-Matic’s patended 3 point piston support provides a tough reliable unit for the automation of today’s high performance industrial valves. Modern synthetic bearings ensure no metallic contact between moving components. Spring return actuators incorporate the multiple spring concept for maximum flexibility, they are also “field reverse able”. Safety features include anti blow out spindle and a spring retaining system which ensures no spring tension on disassembly. A wide range of control options are available to cover each and every industrial application. ‘E’ Series actuators incorporate a body of cast aluminium and have pistons where the rack teeth are precision machined on to the aluminium casting. Spring return versions have a maximum of 6 springs, 3 in each end cap assembled as a concentric stack.
