Overview
The Flowserve B063D is an Automax B-Series pneumatic rack pinion actuator designed for reliable, repeatable valve automation in demanding industrial environments. This double-acting pneumatic actuator converts compressed air into rotational motion for precise control of quarter-turn ball valves, butterfly valves, and plug valves. The compact, modular design supports both on/off and modulating service applications with minimal dead band and excellent stiffness characteristics.
Key Features
- Double-acting design for fail-safe, bi-directional control across full 90-degree range
- Rack and pinion mechanism delivers consistent torque output throughout motion
- Buna-N (Nitrile) seals provide chemical and temperature resistance
- ISO 5211 mounting interface ensures compatibility with standard valve configurations
- Anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion in harsh process environments
- Compact footprint optimized for space-constrained installations
