    Double-Acting Pneumatic Actuated Ball Valve
    The actuator uses compressed air to both open and close the ball valve. This is the most popular option and the best choice for the majority of applications. In the event of a power loss, the actuator will return the ball valve to the closed position.Get more news about pneumatic actuated valve,you can vist our website!
    Compressed air is used to open the ball valve. When air pressure is a removed, a failsafe spring forces the ball valve closed. In the event of a power or compressed air failure, the valve will return to the closed position.
    A Gemini Valve industry first, these ball valves combine the service life of our double-acting models with the failsafe feature of spring-return models. The actuator operates as a double-acting actuator, but includes spring return modules to ensure the valve fails closed in the event of power or compressed air loss.
    A solenoid valve is used to pilot air to the pneumatic actuator to automate the flow of media. All pneumatic actuated ball valves require some form of air control valve to operate. Our GP Solenoid Valves flush mount to the actuator via a NAMUR-compatible interface and act as an integral component of the assembly. This component is optional and may not be required if a solenoid bank or other air control device is utilized.
    Pneumatic actuated ball valves are found in factories and manufacturing facilities. They are also commonly used on OEM equipment where compressed air is accessible, such as liquid filling equipment or automotive fluid fill systems.
