LANCASTER, PA -- To further enhance the growing Advantage® Actuator product line,
ITT introduces the Advantage® Excel - Series S actuator (AXS).
The engineering efforts put into the development of the AXS pushes it into “best of class” in the
marketplace. “The AXS integrates unique design features into a small dimensional envelope
assuring greater functionality,” reports Brian Hoffa, Product Manager for Pure-Flo
Instrumentation. This product is a result of ITT’s commitment to the needs of the customer. The
design features a maintenance free actuator with a modular compressor to make quick changeovers
between elastomer and PTFE diaphragms. Manufactured with a stainless steel housing, the AXS is
a cost-effective alternative for clean room and other applications needing a maintenance free,
stainless steel actuator.
The design also features easy access to bonnet fasteners, optional adjustable opening stops (AOS),
and visual position indication. In addition, the assembly can be rotated 360° to provide easier
access to the air inlet ports. Cycle testing has proven this product to far exceed industry standards
for life-cycle duration.
The AXS is available as a fail open, fail close, or double acting pneumatic piston actuator in sizes
Bio-Pure (0.25" (DN 8), 0.38" (DN 10), and 0.50" (DN 15)), 0.50" (DN 15), 0.75" (DN 20), 1.00"
(DN 25), 1.50" (DN 40), and 2.00" (DN 50). The AXS is compatible with ITT switch packs and
other 3rd party switch packs.
