In demanding industrial settings, equipment reliability and durability are paramount. Production processes involving highly corrosive media often prove challenging for traditional actuator materials, leading to frequent maintenance, costly replacements, and potentially devastating production downtime. Addressing this critical industry challenge, Stayflow has introduced its innovative Inox Series stainless steel pneumatic actuators, bringing new reliability to industrial automation.
Breakthrough Material Science Delivers Unmatched Protection
The Inox Series distinguishes itself through its premium material composition. Each actuator is precision-engineered using high-grade 316 or 304 stainless steel, renowned for exceptional corrosion resistance against acids, alkalis, salts, and other aggressive media. This makes the series ideal for marine engineering, chemical processing, food and beverage production, and other applications requiring superior material purity and longevity. The result is dramatically extended service life and significantly reduced maintenance costs.
Precision Engineering Meets Intelligent Design
Beyond its material advantages, the Inox Series showcases cutting-edge design and manufacturing. The double-acting and spring-return pneumatic rack-and-pinion mechanism ensures smooth, precise operation. Remarkably, these actuators offer comparable pricing to specially coated aluminum models while delivering superior performance. Additional features include ±4-degree stroke adjustment capability for fine-tuning operational range, compatibility with both lubricated and non-lubricated air systems, and optional single-stroke customization.
Comprehensive Automation Solutions
Recognizing that valve automation represents a critical system component rather than an isolated function, Stayflow provides complete accessory packages including:
-
Limit switches:
Enable real-time valve position monitoring for safety interlocks and process control
-
Positioners:
Provide precise valve opening adjustment for accurate flow and pressure regulation
-
Solenoid valves:
Serve as pneumatic control units for rapid air circuit switching
-
Mounting hardware:
Ensure secure, compatible installation across valve types
This integrated approach simplifies implementation while enhancing system reliability.
Engineered for Extreme Conditions
The Inox Series withstands rigorous operational demands with a standard temperature range of -20°C to 80°C (-4°F to 176°F). Optional configurations extend this range to -35°C (-31°F) for arctic conditions or up to 150°C (302°F) for high-temperature applications. Performance specifications include impressive torque outputs of 11,647 in-lb for high-force models and 5,532 in-lb for spring-return versions at 80 PSIG (5.5 bar) air pressure. The optional extended stops feature further enhances application flexibility.
With its corrosion resistance, precision control, broad compatibility, and comprehensive support system, the Stayflow Inox Series represents a significant advancement in industrial automation technology for challenging environments.
