AirPower Europe GmbH | Double acting pneumatic actuators
The pneumatic actuators from AirPower EuropeGmbH are visualized in the images below. On the basis of these illustrations we explain how these actuators work. When pressure is exerted on opening "2", both pistons move from their basic position of 0° and move to 90 ° switching position. The power of the pistons is then transferred to pinion "C" via the rack. If the pistons get pressure through opening "4", then both pistons move back together to basic position 0 °.

AirPower | Switched position 90°
AirPower | End position setting

In a pressureless state, the angular displacement of both end positions can be adjusted by the set screws "B" and "F" between + 5 ° and -5 °
The lock nuts A ensure that the new position can be secured.

In a pressureless state, the nominal rotation angle in the switched position can be adjusted with the set screws "E" between + 5 ° and -30 °.
The lock nuts "D" ensure that the new position can be secured.
AirPower Europe GmbH | Single-acting pneumatic actuators
airpower has released two different pneumatic actuators: single-acting and double-acting actuators. When the pressure is exerted on opening "2", both pistons move against the spring pressure from the 0 ° basic position to the 90 ° switching position. When the pressure in the inner chamber escapes through opening "2", the springs push the pistons back to the basic position of 0°. The number of springs, often 4 to 12, must be adjusted in advance to the control pressure and the desired torque.

In a pressureless state, the angular rotation of both end positions can be adjusted by the set screws "B" and "F" between + 5 ° and -5 °. The lock nuts "A" ensure that the new position can be secured.

With stroke limitation, the non-pressurized state can be adjusted to the nominal rotation angle in the switched position with the set screws "E" between + 5 ° and -3 ° o. The types APD / APS-050-210 have a stroke limit adjustment in one direction as standard. This means that they can open or close. The "D" lock nuts ensure that the new position can be insured. The end position and stroke limit are the same for both single-acting and double-acting airpower actuators.
The advantages of the AirPower actuator
The AirPower actuator has several advantages. For example, the single-acting and double-acting actuators have the same dimensions, with a swivel angle of 90° to 180°. The rotation angle of both actuators is adjustable from 180° to 120°. But there's more:
Construction features
The same size for the double and single-acting actuators with a swivel angle of 90 °. 180 ° rotation angle adjustable from 180 ° to 120 °.
- Low inventory costs because only double-acting actuators must be kept in stock and single-acting actuators can be made by simply installing the springs.
- Simple, safe operation through the use of enclosed, pre-tensioned springs.
- Covers a very wide range of applications.
Position indicator
The position indicator is mounted on the actuator in such a way that it does not interfere with the NAMUR interface, according to VDI / VDE 3847.
- Use of cost-efficient standardized components.
- Faster, less expensive assembly of signal units.
- Indicators can be seen from long distances.
End positioning
Approximately two independently functioning settings can be adjusted individually in a range of + 5 ° to -5 ° on the APD / APS-040-350 screw types.
- Butterfly valves: discs only need to touch the seal and the valve is closed. - Longer service life due to low wear. Low torque and low cost choice of actuator.
- Ball and shut-off valves: open position of the ball, i.e. the plug can be precisely adjusted.
- Avoids turbulent flow of the medium and cavitation.
Stroke limiter
In addition to the final position of the twintorque°, the APD / APS-050-210 types have a stroke limit adjustment in one direction (open or close) as standard. This means that the nominal rotation angle can be adjusted within a range of + 5 ° or -30 °
- The additional limitation of the stroke means that the amount of flow can be reproducibly adjusted for butterfly valves and valves.
- Cost savings, since a special solution is not required (eg special switch cams or electrical solutions)
Corrosion protection: housing and caps
Aluminum housing is hard anodized and also powder coated from the outside. Caps in die-cast aluminum are also powder coated. Caps in die-cast pistons is likewise powder-coated
- Deployment possibilities in almost all situations, especially in critical environments
Corrosion protection: piston
Aluminum die-cast pistons are hard anodised.
- Functional protection, even with the use of critical control devices.
Corrosion protection: air force safety springs
Enclosed springs are covered with plastic.
- Good corrosion protection ensures a good service life.
- Made from APS-070 non-ferrous metal.
- Lower service and maintenance costs. - No risk of accidents.
O-rings and bearings
Standard seals can be used from -35 ° to + 80 ° C.
- Large temperature range. - Cost effective maintenance through simple exchange of valves and wearing parts.
ISO flange patterns
Multiple ISO flange patterns per actuator size.
- Cost savings through flexible automation of valves
Silicone free
Aluminum die-cast pistons are hard anodised.
- Use also in locations where silicone is not allowed, e.g. in paint sprayers.
