Description
Heavy-Duty Corrosion-Resistant Automation for Demanding Environments
At JM Process Control we deliver premium valve-automation solutions made to excel in the most challenging process conditions. The Flowserve Automax SXL Stainless Steel Pneumatic Actuator offers exceptional performance – especially where corrosion resistance, sanitary design or harsh-environment durability are critical. This is the actuator you choose when standard aluminium or carbon-steel models won’t withstand the environment.

Key Features & Benefits
-
316 Grade Stainless-Steel Body: The SXL series utilises a 316 stainless steel housing, making it ideal for highly corrosive or offshore environments, or where hygienic/sanitary finishes are needed.
-
Double-Acting & Spring-Return Models Available: Choose configurations that suit your process control or failsafe requirements.
-
Sanitary Finish Option: For food, beverage or pharma applications, the actuator body can be supplied with optional polished finishes.
-
Full-Length Gear Engagement & Durable Internals: The design ensures strong engagement between piston rack and stainless steel pinion for reliability.
-
Standard Mounting Interfaces: ISO 5211 mounting for valve interface, NAMUR (VDI/VDE 3845) mounting for accessories — ensures flexibility and ease of integration.
-
Bi-Directional Travel Stops: Integral travel stops with overtravel allow precise adjustment of open/closed positions — critical for fine valve control.
-
Field-Reversible Action: In many models, action (fail-open / fail-closed) can be reversed in-field — reducing downtime and simplifying inventory.
