Choosing AVCO is an investment in certainty. We have redefined the procurement process by blending elite American engineering with an agile, customer-centric approach.
The AVCO C-Series pneumatic actuator with an integral manual override replaces the traditional declutchable gear override. The traditional gear override sits between the valve and actuator and requires additional brackets and a large coupler to connect all three items. By integrating the gear override into the actuator, we have reduced space, cost, and installation effort. The actuator comes with a large, easy to operate handwheel that can be locked in at any position within the stroke. The end limits are determined by set screws on the front of the actuator as it is with our standard actuator. If a shorter stroke is desired, a limiter with visual indicator on the side of the actuator can be used with the handwheel to set the stroke anywhere from 5-85 degrees. As with our standard pneumatic actuators, the actuator with integral override has a position indicator with NAMUR slot that sits on top of the actuator body to allow for visual indication or mounting of a positioner or limit switch and the drive/mount pad meets ISO 5211. The actuator air inlet and exhaust ports are designed for direct mount NAMUR solenoids. Buna body seals come standard, but Viton seals are available for higher temperature applications and LNBR seals are available for cryogenic applications. Internal features include a blow-out proof pinion and dual opposed rack pistons. As a default, AVCO sizes actuators on an 80 psi air supply, but torque values are provided for other air supply pressures as well.
