Force produced is a function of the supply pressure which can be varied from 20 to 100 PSI (138 to 690 kPa). Fast stroking speeds are made possible through the use of a high capacity positioner coupled with a unique cushion-loading regulator. The GB50 Series Piston Actuators are designed for use in corrosive atmospheres or adverse weather conditions.
Materials of Construction:
- Cylinder: Aluminum
- Piston: Aluminum
- Stem: 303 Stainless Steel
- Lipseals: Buna “N”
- Spacer Bars: Steel
- Piston Diameter: see data sheet for details
- Effective Area: see data sheet for details
- Stroke Length: 1/4” to 10”. Longer strokes are available, consult the factory.
- Supply Pressure: 20 to 100 PSI (138 to 690 kPa)
- Air Consumption w/Positioner:
- Static: 0.30 SCFM (0.008 m3/min) at 40 PSI (275 kPa) supply
- Dynamic: 5 SCFM (0.142 m3/min) (max) at 100 PSI (690 kPa) supply
- Thrust: Thrust, T, equals the product of piston effective area, A, multiplied by supply pressure differential, ∆P, [up to 100 PSI (690 kPa)]. T=(A)∆P. Example: Develop the thrust of a GB51 actuator with a 100 PSI (690 kPa) supply and a 20 PSI (138 kPa) cushion load. 12 in2 x 80 PSI = 960 lbs. (77.42 cm2 x 551 kPa = 435 Kg) of thrust.
- Positioner: Suitable for all standard instrument air signals; direct or reverse acting, top or bottom loading
- Standard Accessories: Integrally piped cushion-loading regulator and gauge (for units with positioners only)
- Approximate Shipping Weight: see data sheet for details
