The COMPACT actuator is a quarter-turn rack & pinion pneumatic actuator that doubles the torque of standard pneumatic actuators. The superior performance is achieved by Habonim’s patented four piston design, which generates torque around a centrally located piston. This translates into double the power for the same size actuator or half the size for the same amount.
Unique design
Pistons with balanced centralized forces of pistons on pinion
Double the torque of same sized regular actuator
Less wear & tear on moving parts
Longer sealing with no maintenance
Shorter and smaller pistons with shorter travel distance
Compact square shape with minimized footprint
Shorter open/close time – allows superior ESD functionality
Smaller air consumption
Lightweight
Four short spring sets – up to three nested springs against each cylinder
Selection of springs mix to provide flexible spring torques for the available air supply pressure
Spring cartridge option provides higher torque with better characteristics for opening or closing
Redundancy in case of spring failure – the other three springs will maintain rotation
Meticulous material, treatment and coating selection
Selection of body and moving parts materials to best support long lasting performance
in harsh, controlled and clean environments
Structure and surface treatments of part and special coatings to ensure long lasting safe
operation in harsh environments
Selection of sealing and greasing material to accommodate to low and high temperatures
and application requirements
