Evolution In Engineering Rack & Pinion Actuators

Features & Benefits

� The MAX-AIR rack & pinion pneumatic actuator produces linear torque output in a compact design utilizing the same body and end caps for double acting and spring return units.

� NAMUR VDI/VDE 3845 and ISO 5211 dimensions on all sizes. No special blocks are required to mount solenoid valves, limit switches or positioners.

� The standard angle of rotation is 90º. Additional travel

rotations of 120º, 135º, 150º and 180º are available. UT16 and larger sizes feature a travel stop with ± 10º adjustment in both open and close directions (International Patent).

� The “patent pending” bottom plate design, unique to MAX-

AIR, secures a captive pinion (anti-blowout system) and �� (standard) or AISI 304 bolts (optional) in either dual ISO patterns, or to customer dimensions.

� All pinions are supplied with anti-blowout retention in both directions.

� The female pinion drive is standard with a double square output drive and optional with a double-D drive, keyed ��

� Shaft bearings isolate the pinion gear from the housing and support the shaft for high cycle applications.

� The pinion teeth are engaged for the full length and stroke

of the piston. The pinion height allows manual override without disturbing the position indication.

General Properties

Good general corrosion

properties in most “natural” environments with pH from

4.5 to 8.5. Good resistance to salt air environments.

The coating is extremely hard and resistant to

abrasion.

This epoxy coating is a

relatively thick coating which

creates a barrier against many of the chemicals

which anodizing alone can not

adequately resist. It will resist more acidic

or basic environments than anodizing

alone.

Uniformly thick coating with

essentially no porosity and a

reasonably high hardness. The coating is pure, tough, hard, and resistant to many types of corrosion

media.

This coating provides

complete surface coverage and

exhibits excellent corrosion resistance

properties in a wide variety of applications. In

addition, it is FDA approved for food

contact.

304 and 316 Stainless steel are the most

commonly used alloys. Both have

good corrosion resistance but

316 is generally considered

superior, however more expensive.

Relative Cost to Purchase

Lowest cost option

Moderate Moderately high Moderately highHighest cost option by a

��

Performance Limitations

Highly acidic or basic

environments will break down the

coating.

Good general corrosion

resistance, particularly

in salt or alkaline environments.

Limited resistance to acids. Surface chalking will occur when exposed to UV radiation. Also suitable for low

concentrations of caustic washdown

solution

The coating will provide enhanced

corrosion protection in very acidic

environments but will not withstand

attack from strong alkaline

media. Also suitable for low

to medium concentrations of caustic washdown

solutions.

These coatings are resistant to

any environment into which

an actuator would be installed. Provided the

integrity of the surface is intact, the coating can resist a broad

array of chemical environments

at temperatures ranging from sub-

zero to over 300 degrees F.

Although Stainless steel

does offer enhanced corrosion

resistance, it also is dramatically higher in both

cost and weight. The weight

differential will often necessitate

the use of special

support bracketry.
