Pneumatic Actuated, Direct Acting or Spring Return
Series CVA actuated valves combine a pneumatic actuator
and a fast on-off control valve into one body, eliminating
packing glands, actuators, and mounting kits. There are
no exposed moving parts, eliminating pinch points and increasing
operator safety. Because the actuator is part of the
valve, costs are greatly reduced when compared to standard
actuated valves. Balanced design reduces friction and wear, allowing the operating life to be tested to well over
1,000,000 cycles. The stroke is linear and parallel to the
flow, dramatically reducing the required force to close or
open the valve. The internal waterway design allows for optimum
flow characteristics.
The pneumatic actuated valve can be double acting, spring
return normally closed or normally open. The double acting
model uses two supply ports (1/8˝ NPT) with one driving
the valve open and the other driving the valve closed. Normally
closed spring return pneumatic actuated models use
the air supply to open the valve and internally loaded
springs return the valve to the closed position. The normally
open spring return model uses the air supply to close the
valve and internally loaded springs return the valve to the
open position.
