Pneumatic Actuators for ¼ Turn Valves

Pneumatic scotch yoke actuators are specifically designed for quarter turn valves such as ball valves and butterfly valves. The scotch yoke mechanism provides high torque output with smooth operation, making these actuators ideal for demanding industrial applications requiring reliable valve automation.

Key Features

• Scotch yoke design for high torque and efficiency
• Available in double-acting and spring-return configurations
• Robust construction for harsh environments
• Wide range of torque outputs and sizes
• Easy mounting on standard ISO valve interfaces
• Low maintenance with long service life
• Catalog pages for Scotch Yoke ¼ Turn Pneumatic Actuators

Common Applications

These pneumatic scotch yoke actuators are widely used in oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, water treatment, and any application requiring reliable automation of quarter turn valves under demanding conditions.

Another style of pneumatic piston actuation, a cylinder style called the Airmax, is a simplified version for less demanding applications and for extremely cold (<20F) environments.  These have an aluminum or steel housing, Buna-N elastomers and output up to 132,760 in-lbs torque.  Pneumatic Cylinder Valve Actuator Specifications.
