Hydrogen Air Actuators

Designed for remote control, BuTech air operators are virtually maintenance free – ideally suited for service in limited access areas. Their compact size and weight permits installation where space or weight is at a premium. Also available with limit switches and solenoid valves.

The single-acting actuators have a fail-safe feature:  The Air-to-Open actuator closes the valve on loss of operating pressure, while the Air-to-Close actuator opens the valve on loss of operating pressure. These safety features are necessary in critical systems.

Haskel offers specialized BuTech Air Actuators designed for high-pressure hydrogen applications, providing remote control and maintenance-free operation for valves in limited-access areas. These actuators are often paired with hydrogen-rated needle valves and are capable of handling pressures up to 20,000 PSI (1,380 bar).

Key Features of BuTech Air Actuators

  • Fail-Safe Operation: Single-acting models include built-in safety features where the "Air-to-Open" actuator closes the valve upon loss of operating pressure, and the "Air-to-Close" model opens the valve.
  • Compact & Lightweight: Their design allows for installation in tight spaces where weight is a concern.
  • Hydrogen Compatibility: They are engineered with specific materials to resist hydrogen embrittlement, ensuring long-term reliability in critical systems.
  • Remote Control: Ideal for hazardous or hard-to-reach environments where manual valve operation is not feasible.
