Single-acting SR actuator

Reliable operation with spring return

Wide range of industrial applications

Suitable for water treatment plants, food processing, pharmaceuticals and more

Pneumatically actuated butterfly valves are widely used across many industries where reliability and long service life are essential. They are used in particular in water and wastewater treatment plants, where they provide precise control of liquid flow. They also play an important role in the food and beverage industry, where strict hygiene standards must be met. In the pharmaceutical industry, they support safe handling of chemicals and sterile media, while in the chemical industry they withstand aggressive substances. Another key area of application is the oil and gas sector, where high resistance to extreme conditions is required.

The main advantage of these valves is their corrosion resistance, ensured by the 316SS stainless steel disc. The GG25 cast iron body with an epoxy coating provides excellent mechanical strength and long service life. The valves are available with various types of pneumatic actuators, tailored to specific applications. Another benefit is their easy installation and maintenance, which reduces operating costs and ensures trouble-free system operation.

Single-acting SR pneumatic actuator

The valve is fitted with a TORK SR single-acting pneumatic actuator, which provides:

• Reliability with spring return in the event of air supply failure.
• Optimised performance with low air consumption.
• Compact design for easy integration into the system.

Single-acting pneumatic actuators use compressed air to drive the valve in one direction only (opening or closing). A spring is used to return it to its default position. When air is supplied to the actuator, the valve, for example, opens; when the air is disconnected, the spring force automatically returns it to its original (closed) position. This type of actuator is ideal for applications where, for safety reasons, an automatic valve response is required in the event of loss of power. They are widely used across many industries due to their reliability and simplicity.

SIL certification

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) issued the IEC 61108 standard, which defines safety requirements.

For a device to obtain SIL certification, it must meet all defined requirement categories; for example, SIL 3 allows the possibility of a dangerous product failure only once every 1,140 years, reflecting a very high level of reliability.
