Honeywell Actuators

Compared with pneumatic actuators, Honeywell actuators are designed to improve process control, reduce periodic maintenance and operational costs, and increase system reliability. Honeywell actuators, unlike pneumatic ones, are electrical in construction and can still provide the traditional damper and valve control. They can be used in even the toughest industrial processing equipment and applications.

Honeywell actuators are built with positive and linear output shaft movements and more accurate deadband repeatability than pneumatic actuators. They are designed with a minimum number of parts, making them easier to replace and maintain. The places that may need regular maintenance include repairing the air lines in cold weather, positioning the I/P calibration and keeping the compressor and dryer fully operational.

Increase Energy Saving Power With Honeywell Actuators

One of the most cost-effective features of a Honeywell actuator is that the unit consumes power only when it is positioning itself. In comparison, pneumatic actuators need a significantly higher amount of power to compress the air. Pneumatic actuators commonly experience an "air bleed" that takes place even if the units are idle.

Regarding maintenance costs, the performance of a Honeywell actuator is not affected by contaminants by oil or water that typically clog and freeze in air systems. A hand wheel is equipped in all Honeywell actuators in case local manual operation is needed as an alternative to motor operation. In the case of any loss of the input control signal, a Honeywell actuator can be set to fail in any specific position.
