AG Series Technical Brochure
The AG Series Technical Brochure by Max-Air Technology Inc. provides comprehensive details on their Italian-made scotch yoke actuators, emphasizing their design for peak performance and reliability. These actuators feature a 25-year design life and a unique Guided-Motion concept to enhance performance and longevity.
The brochure details various actuator models, including pneumatic and hydraulic options, with a torque range from 13,000 in-lbs to 300,000 in-lbs. They operate under a maximum pressure of 175 psi (12 bar) and are compatible with air, water, or hydraulic fluid. Constructed from high-grade materials like carbon steel and hard bronze alloy, these actuators ensure robust performance.
Key features include dual linear travel stops for high-speed operation, temperature-specific seal options, and a high visibility position indicator. The actuators are equipped with a Namur switch interface and ISO 5211 standard valve interface dimensions. Their modular design facilitates easy assembly and servicing, with options for hand pump override and pre-engineered panel selections.
The AG Series offers symmetric, canted, and hybrid yoke mechanisms to optimize torque curves for specific valve applications, reducing actuator size, weight, and cost. The symmetric torque curve is ideal for metal-seated ball valves, while the canted torque curve is suited for high-performance butterfly valves.
Max-Air Technology provides a warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first. The warranty excludes chemical or stress corrosion and unauthorized modifications.
The brochure includes detailed exploded views and materials of construction, highlighting components such as the housing, yoke, guide rods, and spring cartridge. It also provides torque data for various actuator sizes and configurations.
The AG Series actuators are designed for durability and flexibility, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Their robust construction and innovative design ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.
This document is a technical brochure from Max-Air Technology Inc., focusing on rotary actuators and valve automation solutions. It provides detailed torque data for various actuator models and configurations.
The document includes torque specifications for different actuator models, categorized by size and spring type. Each model's torque is measured in in-lbs across various PSI levels, indicating the actuator's performance under different pressure conditions.
The document outlines the start, run, and end torque values for each actuator model, crucial for understanding the actuator's operational capabilities and ensuring proper application in valve automation systems.
The brochure provides symmetric and canted yoke torque data for spring return and double-acting configurations, essential for selecting the appropriate actuator model based on specific application requirements.
Users are advised to refer to the torque data when selecting actuators to ensure compatibility with their system's pressure requirements and operational needs.
