Operating Conditions
Pressure-temperature rating for pneumatic valves.
Operating range is limited by valve body and seal materials, not the actuator. Spring-return fails to safe position on air loss.
Service Conditions
- Air supply pressure: 5 – 7 bar (clean dry air)
- Operating temperature: –20°C to +80°C ambient
- Cycle time: < 1 sec (small), < 5 sec (large)
- Cycle life: 1,000,000+ cycles typical
- Mounting standard: ISO 5211 (F03 to F12)
- Accessories: Solenoids, switches, positioners
Actual ratings depend on size, material and operating conditions. Confirm via RFQ for project-specific requirements.

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about pneumatic valves.
Engineering and procurement questions we hear most often. For project-specific guidance, send your application details via RFQ.
What is the difference between double-acting and spring-return?
Double-acting (DA) uses air pressure for both opening and closing — faster cycle times and better control at higher torque, but requires air supply for both directions.
Spring-return (SR) uses air for one direction only; spring returns the valve on air loss — fail-safe operation critical for safety applications.
How do I size a pneumatic actuator?
Sizing depends on valve break-away torque, differential pressure, media viscosity and required cycle speed. Typical safety factor: 1.5× peak running torque.
For ball valves: lower torque, smaller actuators. For butterfly valves at high ΔP: higher torque, larger actuators. Provide line conditions for accurate sizing.
What air supply is needed?
Standard: 5–7 bar (72–100 psi) clean, dry, oil-free instrument air. Filtration to 5 μm minimum, dew point at least 10°C below ambient.
Lubrication is NOT required for clean service. Provide cycles/hour for compressor sizing and air consumption calculation.
What accessories are typically needed?
Common: solenoid valve, limit switches (open/close feedback), positioner (modulating control), and air filter-regulator-lubricator (FRL).
For automated systems: 24VDC solenoid + inductive limit switches is most common. For modulating: 4–20 mA positioner with feedback.
Are pneumatic actuators ATEX-rated?
Standard actuators are not ATEX-certified. For hazardous areas, specify ATEX-rated solenoid valves, switches and positioners.
Provide hazardous area classification (zone, gas group, temperature class) with RFQ. Complete ATEX-certified assemblies available.
What is the fail-safe behavior?
Spring-return (SR) actuators automatically return to a fixed position (open or closed) on air loss. Specify "Fail Closed" (FC) or "Fail Open" (FO) based on safety analysis.
For critical safety applications, also specify dual coil solenoids, position monitoring, and air-fail accumulators if instantaneous failsafe action is required.
How long do pneumatic actuators last?
Standard rack-and-pinion actuators provide 1,000,000+ cycles in clean dry air service.
Cycle life depends on air quality, operating frequency and seal material. Track cycle count via control system for predictive maintenance.
