Festo has launched a range of pneumatic valve actuators and associatedcomponents for the process industry. This family of pneumatic components includes 68 single- and double-acting quarter-turn actuators for driving butterfly and ball valves, and 20 double-acting linear actuators for gate valves and penstocks. The Copar range of quarter-turn actuators offers a choice of 14 different sizes with torque ratings from 8to 8,800Nm. An associated range of position feedback sensors is available. Housed in IP65-rated enclosures, the ATEX-compliant sensors can be attached to the actuators. The Copac range of linear actuators, constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, feature internal air channels to eliminate protruding attachments for cleanliness. Offering a choice of stroke lengths from 40mm to 2m, the actuators offer piston diameters from 80mm to 320mm, spanning a thrust range of 2.8Nm to 47,500Nm. Festo has also launched the VAPB family of explosion-proof ball valves and local controllers to complement the range of pneumatic components.
