Methods of Actuation:
Flexibility is key. We provide dampers that can be actuated pneumatically, electrically, or manually via a simple hand lever or reduction gearbox. This ensures that you have the control you need, exactly how you need it.
Manual actuation involves manually operating the damper by turning a handle or lever. Manual actuation is simple and affordable but may be challenging for larger or hard-to-reach dampers.
Pneumatic actuation uses compressed air to operate the damper via a pneumatic actuator. Pneumatic actuation is relatively quick, precise, and suitable for many industrial applications. However, it requires an air supply and may be vulnerable to leaks.
Electric actuation uses an electric motor to operate the damper via an electric actuator. Electric actuation is precise, efficient, and ideal for automation and precise control. However, it can be costly and requires an electrical supply.
Hydraulic actuation uses hydraulic fluid to operate the damper via a hydraulic actuator. Hydraulic actuation provides high force and is ideal for large dampers or those requiring precise control. However, it can be costly, require maintenance, and may be prone to leaks.
Optional Extras for Custom Solutions
Butterfly dampers come with a range of optional extras, ensuring that you get the perfect match for your application.
