Applications: Part turn actuators are used fot the automation of valves, which are controlling the flow of different medias (fluid, gas) or granulated material.

External seviceable travel stops for open and close position allow a fine adjust- ment of ± 4°. This special feature eliminates alignment problems due to a clearance of connections between the stem of the valve adaptor and the shaft of the actuator.
 
Due to a triple bearing of the piston all actuators have a constant torque, even under high load. Beside the guides on the outside of the piston there is an additional guide inside which absorbs the cross load through the integrated support at the drive shaft.
 
The drive shaft is held in position by two bearings, one at the top of the pinion, one at the bottom. These guarantee less friction and abrasion-free operation. Due to the special design of the bearings at the shoulders of the piston, the drive shaft is blowout proof and fulfills the hard US-standards for product liability.
 
The drive shaft has a 25-30 µm electroless nickel coating (Protection E -> Stainless steel).
 
The bearings are temperature resistant to 155°C. Because of an internal retaining shoulder the bearings are blowout safe.
 
The maintainance free springs allow a safe and simple assembly and disassemb- ly. The adaptation of the AT - actuators to your working conditions with the recommended pneumatic pressure can so be arranged. The conversion of a double acting to a spring return actuator can be easily managed. Only the necessary springs have to be mounted. This advantage of AT - actuators reduces stocking costs significantly.
 
Silicon free:
All actuators are silicon free according to the automobile industry recommen- dations.
 
Serial inspection:
Each actuator has to pass a comprehensive serial inspection with e.g. a tightness / density check and a torque check. After passing the inspection the actuator is given a serial number according to ISO 9001.
