Kinetrol USA Inc

The Most Reliable 1/4 Turn Pneumatic Actuator on the Market Today. Period.

Kinetrol engineered the first rotary vane actuators in 1958. The rotary design is based upon a single moving part which eliminates additional parts required to convert linear motion to rotary motion.

This simple and innovative design provides a highly accurate and extremely reliable actuator for operating valves, drives and dampers, and is perfectly suited for the most demanding process control control applications. Operation or positioning of ball, butterfly, plug and control valves, ventilation dampers and automatic doors. Uses also include movement and positioning of components during manufacture – in fact anything that needs to be turned through 90° or less, automatically or by remote control.
