| Tru-Flo actuators feature a bi-directional travel stop
(International Patent). Side located stops allow a ± 10° stroke
registration.
Travel stops are designed to absorb the maximum rated torque of the
actuator and the maximum impact load associated with recommended speed
stroke.
To increase pistons resistance both travel stops arrest the pistons in their part with the largest mass of material. Adjustment of the counter clockwise and clockwise rotation is accomplished by turning the respective left (MAX) and right stop (0°) adjustment screws to increase or reduce output rotation.

Compact Design The Tru-Flo rack & pinion pneumatic actuator produces linear torque output in a compact design utilizing the same body and end caps for double acting and spring return units.
Namur Mounting Namur VDI/VDE 3845 and ISO 5211 dimensions on all sizes. No special blocks are required to mount solenoid valves, limit switches or positioners.
Degree of Travel The standard angle of rotation is 90°. Additional travel rotations of 120°, 135°, 150° and 180° are available. UT16 and upper sizes feature a travel stop with ± 10° stroke registration.
Bottom Mounting Flange The “patent pending” bottom plate design, unique to Tru-Flo, secures a captive pinion (anti-blowout system) and permits flexibility in mounting by retaining AISI 304 nuts (standard) or AISI 304 bolts (optional) in either dual ISO patterns, or to customer dimensions.
Flexible Output Shafts The female pinion drive is standard with a double square output drive, and optional with a double-D drive, keyed drive and designs to meet your specific requirements.
High Cycle Bearings Shaft bearings isolate the pinion gear from the housing and support the shaft for high cycle applications. Many competitive manufacturers do not provide this critical feature.
Rugged Tooth Design The pinion teeth are engaged the full length and stroke of the piston. The pinion height allows manual override without disturbing the indicated positions.
High Visibility Position Indication External open/close indicator as standard, available for all the rotations.

High Cycle Life Wear Pads Pistons incorporate double wear pads to separate the rack from the actuator wall and serve as both guide and wear bearings.
Pre-Loaded Spring Cartridges Epoxy coated special steel springs are pre-loaded with non-metallic materials. The stainless steel end cap fasteners are extra long to allow for spring relaxation. All parts are corrosion resistant.
Alternative Operating Media Air pressure operation from 2 to 10 Bar (40 – 150 PSI). Water, nitrogen and compatible hydraulic fluids may also be used to power the actuator.
Stainless Steel Fasteners All external fasteners are corrosion resistant stainless steel.
Honed Bore for High Cycle Life Extruded aluminum body is internally machined and lapped to exact specifications. Honing prevents dry spots from forming within the actuator bore and therefore eliminates premature seal failure - a critical aspect to long cycle life. All internal and external surfaces are hard anodized for corrosion resistance, with all units permanently lubricated at the factory with non-silicone grease.
Traceability All units are externally stamped with a progressive traceable serial number.
Quality Assurance 100% of all units are factory pressure and leak tested, and individually boxed for shipment. |
