UT Series Flanged Aluminum
(Replaced by the MT Series above.)
The UT Series rack & pinion actuators are the original Max-Air innovation featuring a removable flange for easy valve integration, flexible customization, and reliable operation. The UT Series has been replaced by the MT Series above, except for when alternative mounting is required. The series has all the same great features of the MT Series, including NAMUR standard mounting for accessories, and our patented ±10° adjustment for both the open and closed positions, all backed by the best unlimited cycle life warranty.

UT 180° Actuators Aluminum
UT 180° actuators offer an extended range of rotation beyond 90° quarter turn applications. Double acting actuators can be ordered in custom lengths between 120° and 180°, or extended travel stops can be used on the stock 180° actuator to adjust travel anywhere between 0° and 180°. Spring return actuators are available in a standard configuration (0°-180° travel, spring return to one end) or in “center return” configuration (0° ± 90° travel, spring return to the center). UT 180° actuators offer the same patented dual travel stop design (excluding 3 Position DA) w/ extended travel stop options and multiple mounting options for the ultimate flexibility.

Specialty Coatings
Max-Air Technology offers a wide range of high performance coatings for process critical applications, which have been carefully designed for environments where pneumatically automated valves are exposed to extremely corrosive environments; examples include salt air, caustic wash down, acid production and handling, and various submerged services, to name a few. While offering standard coating options for alternative materials and coatings, Max-Air has also worked extensively with material scientists to develop advanced coatings to extend the range of available options. These coating options are incredibly effective when considering the total cost of ownership, safety, and the overall weight challenges of complete stainless steel solutions. *Note: Some coatings FDA approved. Please call factory for information.
