ECActuator
The EC is a compact, lightweight piston-type pneumatic
actuator developed specifically for bio-pharm applications.
The housing ismanufactured from PES (polyethersulphone),
a high performance thermoplastic. PES has outstanding
strength, chemical resistance and thermal properties. The
EC features compact size and a smooth exterior profile that
includes shrouded fastener design for 2-way bodies and
slottedbase foruseonblock typebodies.
The compact size of the EC and SSC actuators permit the
easy
integration
of
automated
valves
into
congested
piping designs. The small EC and SSC also facilitate
reduction in wetted area and deadlegs of multiport valves.
The EC is suitable for temperatures from -10°C to + 100°C
ambient (autoclave maximum 150°C) and can withstand
typicalwashdownchemicals.
EC actuators are available in sizes DN8 – DN50
(0.25” – 2.00”). The EC is a reliable piston-type design that
offers reliable performance and long life. All three operating
modes: doubleacting, spring to closeand spring toopenuse
the same housing and share the same reduced overall size.
Bright yellow visual position indication is standard on all EC
actuators.
SSCActuator
The CRANE ChemPharma, Saunders SSC actuator is the
stainless steel version of the EC. This actuator features an
electropolished stainless steel housing for a robust design
that matches the appearance of stainless steel piping
systems. The SSC is sizes DN8 –DN50 (0.25” – 2.00”) and is
available in all three operatingmodes and shares the same
compact sizeas theEC.
Field conversions ofmanual valves topneumatic actuation
can be readily achieved ‘in-line’ without special tools or
modification.
