Pneumatic Actuators

High-speed, fail-safe actuation for critical industrial and automated process systems.

Pneumatic actuators play a critical role in industrial automation, providing reliable movement and control of valves and dampers across a wide range of applications.

Powered by compressed air, they deliver fast response times, dependable operation and inherent fail-safe capability — making them a preferred choice for demanding process environments.

Used across sectors including energy, marine, petrochemical and infrastructure, pneumatic actuators are well suited to applications involving high cycle rates, hazardous environments and critical safety requirements. Their mechanical robustness and adaptability make them a trusted solution where longevity and consistent performance are essential.

Our pneumatic actuator range includes solutions to suit varying torque requirements and valve sizes:

High Quality Rack & Pinion

Compact, efficient quarter-turn actuators for small to medium-sized valves, offering precision control and reliable performance across a wide range of industrial applications.

High Power Scotch Yoke

Heavy-duty actuators engineered for medium to large valves, delivering high torque output and dependable operation in demanding and high-pressure environments.

Bespoke Solutions

Custom-configured pneumatic actuator assemblies tailored to specific torque, mounting and control requirements, including hazardous-area and specialist applications.

Often selected for their durability and adaptability, pneumatic actuators are widely regarded as a robust alternative to electric solutions — particularly in high-cycle, high-vibration and hazardous-area applications.

They are typically available in two operating configurations:

Double Acting (DA)
Utilises the available air supply to power both opening and closing strokes, providing controlled bi-directional operation.

Spring Return (SR)
Uses air pressure for the primary stroke and integrated spring force to return the actuator to a predetermined fail-safe position.
