Features
GE's Masoneilan Type 37 direct acting and Type 38 reverse acting pneumatic spring diaphragm actuators are designed to provide high performance. Their features include:
Heavy One-piece Yoke
Provides maximum strength and rigidity
Diaphragm Cases
Pressed steel upper and lower cases combine lightness, high me­chanical strength and adequate protection in the event of severe over-pressurization
Thrust Capability
Two actuator types and seven sizes provide a wide range of ap­plications
Diaphragm
Molded elastomer with fabric insert for strength, long life and high sensitivity
Linearity
The molded diaphragm and deep cases minimize area change and produce a linear relationship between travel and air pressure
