Max Air Technology offers a complete and comprehensive group of 5 different series of industrial grade electric actuators to meet your application requirements (ME/MX/SE/SX and MA). The 5 lines are standard quarter turn electric actuators of industrial design offering non-failsafe, mechanical failsafe, and Supercap failsafe options. The torque ranges offered are from 310 in-lbs through 40,000 in-lbs; in a variety of voltages 12/24 vac/vdc, 120/230 vac and complete 3 phase solutions. We offer standard location and Hazardous Location rated units (CLS/DIV as well as ATEX).

The line supports OPEN/CLOSE/JOG as well as Modulating controls and offers a wide array of optional custom control interfaces (3 position, SCADA, 2 wire control and many others). Manual Overrides are standard on all lines as are auxiliary limit switches and anti-condensation heaters, 360 degree viewable position indicators. All units utilize ISO compliant bolt mounts and female output drives. We offer a wide array of local control options. Additionally, IP68 submersion ratings are available along with over 120 options to provide the best solution for your electric actuation needs.

EFS | Electronic Fail Safe

Battery Backup for ME/MX Series Units

Max-Electric’s EFS Series battery backup systems provide fast-acting, easy to install fail-safe power solutions for our ME & MX Series electric actuator lines. These stand-alone reserve power sources provide the required energy to drive valves or dampers to either a fully open or fully closed position, upon loss of mains power. The enclosure is mounted separately from the actuator to allow for convenient access for operation, monitoring status, battery servicing, and ease of maintenance.  Fail direction is field-selectable on the control panel. These EFS units are designed to work with our full range of Max-Electric ME & MX series actuators.
