AGI - Model AGR-1 -Pneumatic Rotary Actuator
The AGR-1 Pneumatic Rotary Actuator is a precision-engineered component designed for robust industrial applications where controlled rotary motion is essential. Its rack and pinion design with a flange hard stop allows for a rotation range of 0º to 180º, adjustable within 5º. With a payload capacity of 1 lb centralized to the rotation axis, the actuator delivers a torque of 5 in/lb at 80 psi. The unit is built from high-strength, hard-coated aluminum alloys and steel, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance. The absence of backlash combined with 0.001 accuracy ensures highly precise rotational movements. It operates efficiently within a pressure range of 30 to 120 PSI and a temperature range of -20°F to 180°F, making it versatile for various environments. The quick rotation time of 0.1 seconds without load enhances operational efficiency in fast-paced applications.
- Built-in adjustable hardstops on output flange stop against a dowel pin embedded in the body to prevent pinion breakage and give accurate specific rotation requirements.
- Two large bearings, one on either side of the pinion, provide for steady output flange with high loading capacity.
- Ultra high torque-to-weight ratio for faster cycle times.
- Compact body design to fit in tight space applications.
- Units are permanently lubricated for non-lube air operation, allowing for compliance with OSHA regulations.
- All rotary units have zero backlash at either end of rotation, keeping the output flange against the hardstop.
- Built-in adjustable flow controls allow for maximum cycle times and smooth deceleration.
- Proximity switches are available to monitor end of rotation.
- The AGR-1 unit is fully field repairable for cost savings and minimum down time.
