 Quality, Dependability, and Productivity.
Recognized as the leader in valve automation systems, Automax’s pneumatic actuators can automate valves with
torque values from 25 to 500,000 in-lb. Actuators are available in a wide range of materials suitable for use in the most
demanding applications. Flowserve also offers a comprehensive range of NAMUR Controls and accessories such as
lockout modules and gear overrides. To complete the package Flowserve can provide engineering design services for
AutoBrakit Mounting hardware. We currently have more than 10,000 AutoBrakits designed and documented for
traceability and repeatability on a global basis.

SuperNova SuperNova B series Rack and Pinion actuators are designed for butterfly, plug or
ball valves, and offer one compact design for double acting and spring return.
B-Series Precision die-cast pistons with large cylinder bearings increase efficiency and
cycle life. Available in torque ranges from 25 in-lb to 58,000 in-lb, for optimum
actuator sizing.

The actuator is the heart of an automation system, but control accessories are
Controls & important in creating a complete system to meet increasingly sophisticated
Accessories customer requirements. Solenoid valves and related accessories with NAMUR
interfaces provide direct, modular mounting on actuator. Switches, Positioners,
Gear Overrides and Lockout Modules can also be integrated into the assembly.
AutoBrakits are engineered to assure consistency and proper alignment.

Stainless Steel The SXL® series utilizes a 316 series stainless steel housing and is ideal for use in
corrosive environments. It is available in both double acting and spring return and can
SXL-Series be supplied with internal components identical to the SNA Series or with optional
stainless steel internals. For sanitary applications the housing can be polished.
Available in torque ranges from 78 in-lb to 7279 in-lb.

EFC The EFC series actuator is manufactured from a combination of tough corrosion
Epoxy-Filled resistant epoxy and composite materials. The simple design of the EFC series ensures
Composite Series the minimum number of moving parts and seals. Double acting and spring return
versions utilize a shuttle piston with a full diameter acetal bearing.

Heavy Duty A complete line of Scotch Yoke heavy-duty actuators provides torques from 3,000 to
R2, R3, R4 500,000 in-lb. The combination of Scotch Yoke actuators plus Rack and Pinion
actuators offers the opportunity to standardize on one source for your complete
& R5 Series quarter-turn automation needs. Scotch Yoke Actuators can also be configured with
high pressure hydraulic cylinders. Contact Flowserve for complete details.

Hard anodic oxidation is an electro-
lytic conversion process which re-
sults in the formation of an oxide
film. Continuation of the process
produces the “hard” anodic coating
to two mils. The chemical composi-
tion provides the optimum alloy for
strength, abrasion resistance, cold
working and chemical resistance.

The most useful properties of the

oxide coating are:
1. The oxide coating is integral with
the base substrate and will not
spall off by impacting thermal
shock nor to temperatures to
aluminum’s melting point. The ox-
ide has negligible effect on the
other properties of aluminum.
2. Aluminum oxide is one of the
hardest materials known with a
hardness of corundum (45 to 65
Rockwell C). Further, abrasion
tests show only half as much wear
as hardened steel.
3. Aluminum oxide is relatively stable
and chemically inert. The oxide is
usually stable over a pH range of
4.5 to 8.5, but can be dissolved
by strong acids and alkalis, where
as it normally resists concentrated
nitric acid at pH 1 and ammonium
hydroxide at pH 13.

 EFC Series Actuators

The EFC Series Actuator is manufac-

tured from a tough corrosion-resis-
tant epoxy and glass composite (EFC)
which does not require surface
protection. EFC is a tough material,
which is consistent throughout,
therefore any surface damage will not
affect its resistance to corrosion.

The EFC Series shuttle piston design

allows ample space for two low-
fatigue spring cartridge packs,
located within the full length of the NAMUR slotted
piston. For a double-acting actuator, accessory shaft
