Pneumatic actuators comprise the EPR, EPA, EPT, and EPAR series. The EPR series features compact rack and pinion and scotch yoke mechanisms, complying with ISO5211 and NAMUR standards. The EPA series includes double-acting and spring-return scotch yoke actuators operating at various pressures. The EPT series consists of heavy-duty scotch yoke actuators certified to SIL 3/4 ratings, utilizing PTFE and rubber seals. The EPAR series offers high-performance rack and pinion actuators with an extended body for 120 to 180-degree rotation.PneumaticactuatorscomprisetheEPR,EPA,EPT,andEPARseries.TheEPRseriesfeaturescompactrackandpinionandscotchyokemechanisms,complyingwithISO5211andNAMURstandards.TheEPAseriesincludesdouble-actingandspring-returnscotchyokeactuatorsoperatingatvariouspressures.TheEPTseriesconsistsofheavy-dutyscotchyokeactuatorscertifiedtoSIL3/4ratings,utilizingPTFEandrubberseals.TheEPARseriesoffershigh-performancerackandpinionactuatorswithanextendedbodyfor120to180-degreerotation.
Hydraulic actuators include the EHA and EHT series. The EHA series features a rack and pinion mechanism optimized for harsh environments, providing 120, 135, and 180-degree rotation angles with a torque range from 10 N.m to 4,147 N.m. The EHT series delivers optimal output from linear piston movement via a scotch yoke mechanism, characterized by a compact design for similar torque outputs.HydraulicactuatorsincludetheEHAandEHTseries.TheEHAseriesfeaturesarackandpinionmechanismoptimizedforharshenvironments,providing120,135,and180-degreerotationangleswithatorquerangefrom10N.mto4,147N.m.TheEHTseriesdeliversoptimaloutputfromlinearpistonmovementviaascotchyokemechanism,characterizedbyacompactdesignforsimilartorqueoutputs.
