Product information

In cooperation with Lohse Armaturenbau GmBH, we supply double-acting pneumatic cylinders (type VC and VM) for linear valves such as gate valves. This actuator is operated both for the inward stroke and for the outward stroke via the air ports so that the actuator maintains its position when the air supply is lost. This achieves a fail to hold function.

As standard, the pneumatics are made of aluminum AlSi5Mg, AlMgSi0.5 and AW-6060T66 with the cylinder rod made of stainless steel 1.4305 and the seals made of NBR. These actuators are manufactured in-house by Lohse so that both the valve and actuator come from the same factory. The pneumatics are equipped with a NAMUR interface according to VDE/VDI 3845 and a T-slot according to ISO 15552 for mounting magnetic sensors directly on the pneumatic. If required, we can supply pneumatics where the initial stroke or final stroke can be set according to preference.

Application

The double-acting actuator series consists of type VC (5 variants), type VM (8 variants) and type PZ (2 variants), each suitable for different conditions and torques. This makes these actuators perfectly adaptable to specific local conditions. Lohse double-acting pneumatic cylinders can be used on any type of linear valve.  

Double-acting pneumatic cylinders can be used in a very wide range of sizes from DN50 to DN900.
