Product Overview
The Bürkert 8697-*-00-M2-*-PU02 (Part No. 00248833) is a pneumatically actuated process control unit engineered for precise regulation of neutral and aggressive media in industrial fluid handling systems. As a member of Bürkert’s proven 8697 series, this control unit operates on a pneumatic actuation principle, using compressed air to drive a diaphragm or piston actuator that positions a valve stem for accurate flow control. The unit is designed for integration with Bürkert’s modular valve bodies and is suitable for both open/close and modulating control duties. Its robust construction and chemical-resistant wetted materials make it a reliable choice for demanding process environments where electrical actuation is undesirable or unsafe.
