Description

AVCO's Q Series Compact Quad Pneumatic Actuator provides greater torque while conserving space and using less compressed air. The Q Series Compact Quad Pneumatic four piston actuator delivers substantially more torque than the standard rack and pinion two piston designs, yet has a smaller “compact” footprint. Mounting dimensions are ISO 5211 compliant. It has NAMUR standard mounting for both solenoid valve and top accessories.

The pistons in the Q Series actuator are smaller in diameter and shorter in length. The 4 pistons work together and travel a shorter distance, thus creating a more efficient mechanism for generating higher output torque. This innovation minimizes the overall actuator size compared to the standard designs and results in a faster cycle times. In the case of actuators taking about the same space, the Q Series actuator output torque is about 79% higher than 2 piston actuator. The piston design and configuration allow the Q Series actuator to cycle more than 2 million times free from failure. Innovation and engineering expertise have resulted in the best compact, four piston, quarter turn, rotary, rack and pinion, pneumatic actuator.
