Key Features & Advantages
The ball is not fixed to the stem, allowing it to float slightly downstream to create a tight seal against the seat under pressure.
Available in double-acting or spring-return configurations for fail-safe operation in critical applications.
Quarter-turn operation provides quick opening and closing with minimal torque requirements.
Precision-machined components ensure zero leakage when closed, meeting ANSI Class VI standards.
Actuator response times as fast as 1-2 seconds depending on size and configuration.
Available in various material combinations to resist corrosion in harsh environments.
