Electricity

Pneumatic systems utilize compressed air, enabling valves to operate with rapid opening and closing times measured in milliseconds. Critical for automation applications requiring rapid shutdown, such as emergency gas cut-off systems in power facilities.

No electrical sparks unlike electric valves, making them ideal for explosive environments (hydrogen cooling systems in generators, gas turbine control). Our pneumatic actuators meet ATEX/IECEx explosion-proof certifications required in hazardous areas.

Fewer moving components than electric valves reduce risk of failure. No overheating concerns unlike electric actuators operating in high-temperature environments. Resistant to grime and moisture, typically utilized in electrical substations and industrial environments.

Compressed air is cheaper than electric power for frequent operation. No constant power draw unlike electric valves, which consume energy even when idle. Long lifespan with minimal wear, reducing replacement costs.
