Product - Linear Pneumatic Actuator

Fail safe operation from spring or air storage tank

Home
"PL" Series Linear Pneumatic Actuators

Kanair PL Series Linear pneumatic actuator uses basic piston type cylinder with few moving parts. When air pressure is readily available, pneumatic actuators provide cost effective valve automation solutions.  With clean filtered dry air, a pneumatic actuator can provide reliable operation. Pneumatics is inherently explosion proof for use in electrically hazardous area. Using spring or air storage tank, fail safe operation can easily be implemented into the actuator system.
