Conbraco G-Series Scoth -Yoke Actuator

Conbraco G-Series Scotch-Yoke Actuator

Operating Ranges
G-Series double acting actuators produce guaranteed minimum torque outputs from 10,000 lb-in. up to 6,000,000 lb-in. The spring return units produce spring torques from 2,500 lb-in. to 3,000,000 lb-in.
Standard operating pressures:  Pneumatic — to 200 psig (14 BAR)
NAMUR
The shaft driven accessory interface conforms to the NAMUR standard and is identical on all G-Series actuators, allowing for standardization of accessory mounting hardware and installation practices
Pneumatic and hydraulic scotch-yoke actuators
Automates ball, butterfly, plug valves and any other 90° rotating mechanisms
Salt Spray Testing per ASTM B117 criteria. Construction features prevent water ingress, allowing G-Series actuators to meet IP 66 and IP 67M specifications and severe high pressure water deluge test
Standard operating temperature is -20°F to +200°F (-29°C to +93°C)
Optional trims available
0°F to +350°F (-18°C to +177°C)
-50°F to +180°F (-46°C to +82°C)
Mechanical and hydraulic manual overrides are available
MSS and ISO Valve Mounting
The G-Series valve interface meets the dimensional requirements of MSS SP-101 or ISO 5211 defined for each torque range
 

Apollo® AE Series Actuator

 
Five Output Torques, One Housing  -  200, 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 inch-pounds
Long Service Life
