Product Overview
The KITZ C-1 Pneumatic Actuator is a quarter-turn rack-and-pinion pneumatic valve actuator engineered by KITZ Corporation for automated on/off and modulating control of industrial process valves. As a general process and pneumatic valve accessory, the C-1 converts compressed air energy into precise 90-degree rotary torque, enabling remote actuation of ball valves, butterfly valves, and plug valves across demanding process environments. Its compact, symmetrical body design allows direct mounting to ISO 5211 valve top flanges, delivering reliable torque transmission and rapid response for automated fluid control loops in chemical, water treatment, and general industrial piping systems.
