All mechanically pinched pneumatic valves are available with 2 families of pneumatic actuator:
- A conventional air double acting cylinder. Air is applied alternating to the cylinder head and cylinder bottom to open and close the valve. This is inherently a Fail-in-last-position actuator.
- Onyx "Bomb Proof" zero maintenance actuator. This actuator is designed around a firestone airbag for the most robust construction and zero maintenance. It is available in two configurations:
- Valve Size
- Fail Mode
- Process Pressure
