Flowserve spring cylinder linear actuators are powerful,
compact, high-performance pneumatic actuators that
provide solid throttling or on-off operation for automatic
control valves. The positioner supplies air to both sides
of the piston, providing stiff, precise movement and high-
frequency response and quick stroke speeds. The robust,
flexible design allows a wide range of accessories, quick
maintenance in a small lightweight package. A selection of
high thrust springs provide reliable fail-safe operation.

Important features and advantages of the Flowserve Valtek spring cylinder linear actuator include:
Features Advantages
Multiple Positioners
and Controllers
A variety of positioner/controller options makes the spring cylinder actuator ideal for a variety of control require-
ments.
High Frequency
Response
Double-acting configuration responds quickly to signal changes.
Dynamic Positioning
Accuracy
Supply pressure is modulated to both sides of piston for stiff, precise actuator operation; small air volume
between the piston and the bottom of the cylinder provides powerful pneumatic stiffness, allowing a high pres-
sure dropwithout plug slamming.
Low Air Consumption Cylinder design uses less supply air than comparable diaphragm actuators.
High Thrust
Capability
150 psi (10.3 Bar) operating pressure allows substantially higher thrust capabilities than comparable diaphragm
actuators. Higher thrust allows tighter valve shutoff.
Longer Stroke
Longer strokes provide better process control. Size 25 spring cylinder linear actuators have a 11-inch (38 mm)
stroke, in contrast to a 3-inch (19 mm) stroke on a comparable linear diaphragm actuator. Larger actuators have
similar comparisons; stroke lengths are available up to 24 inches.
Fail-Safe Spring Internal spring provides fail-safe operation in the event of air system failure. Spring bench set is not required.
Compact and
Light-weight
For easier installation and maintenance, spring cylinder linear actuators are substantially lighter and more
compact than comparable linear diaphragm actuators.
Simple Maintenance
Periodic maintenance is easy to perform since the spring cylinder actuator only requires the removal of two
parts to access all internal parts.
Durable Components High-quality materials require little maintenance. There is no diaphragm to rupture.
Wide Range of Sizes
Standard actuator sizes 25, 50 and 100 will handle thrust requirements for over 95 percent of process applica-
tions; larger sizes through size 600 are available for special applications.
Fewer Parts
Spring cylinder linear actuators have one-third the number of parts as diaphragm linear actuators; wear parts
cost 10 percent of those for diaphragms, and less inventory is required to maintain actuators.
Field Reversible Failure mode is easily reversed without additional parts. Reduces inventory costs.
No Pressure
Regulator Required
Cylinder actuators easily handle air supplies up to 150 psi (10.3 Bar) without a pressure regulator and can be
operated with as little as 30 psi (2.1 Bar)*.
* Operating pressure on some sizes is limited because of valve sizes.

The VL series is the standard set of actuators for Valtek
control valves, providing precise control and reliable perfor-
mance. With decades of experience and reliability, VL actua-
tors have been known to be in service for over 30 years.
Providing maximum thrust from a compact lightweight
package, the VL cylinder has set the industry standard for
two generations.

For applications where aluminum materials are not
acceptable, Flowserve offers the compact, lightweight and
high thrust of the VL-C carbon steel spring cylinder linear
actuator. Offering identical springs and all the advantages of
VL actuators, the VL-C actuator replaces all aluminum parts
with carbon steel.
Offered in two styles, the size 25 and 50 square inch actua-
tors use deep drawn cylinders while the size 100, 150, 200,
300 and 400 offers tie rod construction.

For applications where ultra high cycle (UHC) life is needed,
Flowserve offers the exceptionally long cycle of the VL-UHC
series actuators. By replacing or modifying several parts
used in the standard VL series actuator, the VL-UHC gains
cycle lives previously thought unattainable.
