AL - Air-lock 101 Device
Compact air-lock device isolating pneumatic actuators when pressure drops, ensuring system stability.
Prevents actuator instability by isolating it from the control system when pressure drops.
Compact, lightweight unit integrates dual 3-way valves to save space and installation time.
Automatically resets when pressure normalises, enhancing reliability and system efficiency.
The IMI Air-Lock (AL) Device isolates pneumatic actuators from control devices when air pressure falls below a set point. It features an adjustable pressure switch and dual 3-way valves in a single unit. The device activates instantly upon pressure loss and resets automatically when pressure rises by 1 bar. Available in anodised aluminium or stainless steel 316, it offers reliable performance in various conditions, including offshore and sandstorm environments. Its compact design reduces installation time, space, and cost, ensuring seamless integration into actuator systems where maintaining control during pressure fluctuations is critical.
