Pneumatic Actuator facilitates 6 W ASCO valve installation.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:33:09 -0500

PneuMagnetic Actuator helps reduce installation effort for 6 W ASCO 8320 series of 3/2 port-in-body valves by converting then to pneumatic operation. This eliminates need for wiring and conduit installations. Especially suited for use in intrinsically safe (IS) and explosion proof (EX) installations, product removes electric hazard from installation by converting electric actuators to pneumatic.
