Small Size (S/R)
Unlike vane actuators, piston actuators have internal
springs giving a smaller and more compact assembly.
Two pistons would deliver twice the thrust of one
piston but take up twice the space. On a single piston actuator,
increasing the piston diameter by only 41% doubles the thrust.
This is why the F-series, single piston actuator, is smaller than
multi-piston actuators.
Unlike most multi-piston actuators, the F-series
has the springs on the opposite side of the piston. This leads
to many advantages. Because the springs lie either side of the
pinion, the size of the F-series actuator is not increased by
the addition of springs.
These features make the Spring Return F-series the
smallest pneumatic actuator on the market today.
