Actuation and Engineered Products - Worcester/Flowserve

Pneumatic actuators are devices that use compressed air to create mechanical motion. They are commonly used to control valves, dampers, or other devices in industrial processes. Pneumatic actuators offer advantages such as fast response, simplicity, and robustness. They find applications in industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, or oil and gas, enabling reliable and efficient operation.

Actuators are devices that convert energy into motion. They come in various shapes and sizes and can be powered by electricity, hydraulics, or pneumatics. Centro carries a complete selection of general actuators, including electric actuators, pneumatic actuators, and polymer actuators. We also offer a wide range of linear actuators, which are ideal for use in small spaces. No matter what the application, there is an actuator that can provide the perfect solution. Centro carries a complete selection of general actuators available to purchase online, making it easy to find the right product for any project.

Positioners and limit switches are crucial in various industrial applications, ensuring precise control and safety measures. Positioners are devices designed to accurately control the position of a valve or actuator in response to an input signal. They are commonly used in pneumatic and hydraulic systems to regulate the flow of fluids or gases by adjusting the opening and closing of valves. Positioners enable operators to precisely control the process variables, such as flow rate or pressure, improving industrial operations' efficiency and accuracy. On the other hand, limit switches serve as safety devices that detect the presence or absence of an object and trigger an action when a predetermined limit is reached. These switches are often employed to monitor the position of mechanical components, such as valves, actuators, or machine parts, and ensure that they operate within safe limits. Limit switches can signal the end of travel, prevent overtravel, or initiate emergency shutdown procedures in case of abnormal conditions, enhancing operational safety and protecting equipment from damage. Positioners and limit switches contribute to the reliability, precision, and safety of industrial processes across various sectors, including manufacturing, petrochemicals, and utilities.
