Actuators & Positioners
Linear Piston Actuators - Type LP D-AAL-LP_E

Linear Pneumatic Piston actuators are supplied with either type AV analog or type TZIDC digital positioners mounted on the cylinder.
Cylinders are supplied with a threaded clevis on the rod end. Base mounting pivots can be ordered as an accessory.
A protective boot is optional. The cylinders can be supplied with either Buna-N nitrile rubber seals suitable for 93oC (200o F)
operation or Viton seals suitable for 148oC (300o F) operation. The Buna-N seals have a lower breakway pressure, offering smoother
modulating control.
The operating temperature for the AV15 & AV16 is 121oC (250oF). All other positioners have a 85oC (185oF) maximum ambient.
Buna-N seals are recommended unless temperature > 93oC (200oF) dictate Viton.
The TZIDC-200 is for Explosion Proof application Class 1 Div 1 Gr C-G. Refer to the AV or TZIDC positioner specifications for positioner details
and specifications.
The maximum supply pressure with type TZID positioners is 90 psi. The maximum supply pressure with type AV positioners is 125 psi.
