Pneumatic actuators

Benefits

Match actuator format to differential pressure and response needs

Maintain repeatable valve travel across the full stroke

Support plant air-based control packages with proven actuation

Overview

Spirax Sarco pneumatic actuators provide linear valve actuation for control duties where compressed air remains the preferred power source for responsiveness, fail-safe action and straightforward integration into established plant control schemes. The PN9000, PN5700 and PN6700 diaphragm ranges, together with TN2000 cylinder actuators, cover different thrust and differential pressure requirements so the actuator can be matched to the installed valve and the real process load. Mechanical travel indication helps operators verify stroke position visually, while the actuator geometry supports stable valve movement and good linearity across the working range. Pneumatic actuation remains a practical choice where users want fast response, simple fail positioning and compatibility with smart positioners or existing instrument air infrastructure rather than a fully electric package. These actuators are commonly paired with SPIRA-TROL, QL and other Spirax Sarco two-port and three-port control valves, making this route useful when the project calls for a complete air-powered control valve assembly rather than an actuator in isolation.
