Spring Cylinder Rotary Actuator

The MASCOT Spring Cylinder Rotary Actuator combines high torque and pneumatic stiffness with excellent throttling capabilities. These characteristics are designed into a lightweight, rugged and compact assembly, making the MASCOT rotary actuator the foremost choice for quarter turn applications. The MASCOT rotary actuator is designed to operate the DISKFLO high performance butterfly valve, the VFLO V-notch ball valve, or other applications requiring precise rotary motion. MASCOT pneumatic and electro-pneumatic positioners are available for throttling applications.

The actuator, cylinder and MASCOT positioner are designed for supply pressures up to 150 psi, making very high torques attainable. The actuator uses a rocking piston for direct conversion of linear motion to rotary motion. The rocking piston assembly combined with a splined shaft and lever eliminates lost motion.

Spring Cylinder Rotary Actuator Features

	Features Advantages Accepts up to 150 psi air supply Achieves higher torques Obtains stiff piston positioning Permits higher DP limits on valve Rocking piston Provides direct connection to shaft Assures zero lost motion between actuator and valve Utilizes fewer parts Splined shaft and lever Allows zero lost motion Compact, lightweight, rugged Permits easy maintenance Installs in limited space applications Easily meets seismic requirements Low friction bearings Provide millions of cycles with minimal wear Combined with direct linkage, provides very low hysteresis Field reversible Requires no extra parts Permits fast, easy field reversing Requires no change of spring action Fail-safe spring Moves actuator to failure position without pressure assistance Air-purged, fully enclosed transfer case Prevents corrosion of linkage Ensures safe operation Contains external position indicator Allows four mounting positions without retubing, changing or adding parts Stroke stops Allow both ends of stroke to be adjusted The MASCOT rotary spring cylinder actuator also capitalizes on established features of other MASCOT actuators: Interchangeability Minimizes requirements for stocking spare parts Reduces inventory costs Uses identical parts in differing rotary actuator sizes Utilizes many MASCOT linear actuator parts Spool-type four-way Positioner Provides high-performance modulating positioner control Ensures ease of calibration and maintenance due to fewer parts
