Overview
The Quadrant C-450DA pneumatic actuator is a robust, double-acting solution for automating quarter-turn valves in industrial process control and fluid handling systems. Designed for demanding industrial applications, this actuator delivers reliable performance and durability for automating quarter-turn valves, including ball, plug, and butterfly valves. With actuator input supply pressure up to 120 psi (8 bar), the C-450DA operates in a temperature range from -40 °F to +200 °F (-40 °C to +93 °C), featuring a hard anodized aluminum alloy body.
Key Features
- Double-Acting Operation: Utilizes air pressure to control both opening and closing actions, ensuring precise valve positioning.
- High Torque Output: Provides 450 in-lbs of torque, suitable for operating a wide range of valve sizes and types.
- Durable Materials: Features an aluminum body with stainless steel components, offering corrosion resistance and longevity in harsh environments.
- Standards Compliance: Complies with ISO 5211 and NAMUR standards, facilitating easy integration with various valves and accessories.
- Adjustable Travel Stops: Allows fine-tuning of valve open and close positions for optimal performance.
- External Position Indicator: Provides clear visual feedback on the valve’s status, aiding in monitoring and maintenance.
