Why not just use a pneumatic valve?
The pneumatic actuator on a pneumatic valve has the following drawbacks: • Requires a seal between the actuator and process fluid; a serious source of potential failure. (Remember, the PneuMagnetic actuator works with the original hermetically sealed direct acting solenoid valve body). • Large size; typically much larger than a PneuMagnetic actuator. • Limited valve selection: PneuMagnetic actuators can be used on most direct acting solenoid valves, this opens a huge selection of valves already available to be used with PneuMagnetic’s actuators. • Long life: Pneumagnetic actuators will typically last for 7 MM+ cycles with no actuator process fluid seal to fail as in a traditional pneumatic valve actuator.
