Product Overview
The KITZ C-2 Pneumatic Actuator is a quarter-turn rack-and-pinion pneumatic valve actuator engineered by KITZ Corporation for reliable automated on/off and modulating control of industrial process valves. As a core component within the KITZ general process and pneumatic valve ecosystem, the C-2 converts compressed air energy into precise 90-degree rotary torque, enabling dependable actuation of ball valves, butterfly valves, and plug valves across demanding process environments. Its compact, symmetric body design allows direct mounting to ISO 5211 valve top flanges, making it a versatile solution for both new installations and retrofit automation of existing manual valve assemblies. The actuator is designed for continuous industrial duty, delivering consistent torque output, fast cycle response, and long service life with minimal maintenance intervention.
