Pneumatic actuators

Pneumatic actuators are powered by compressed air. Depending on actuator type, the drive spindle moves inwards or outwards, whereby the connected valve plug opens or closes the valve in the corresponding amount to control the flow. If a pneumatic actuator is combined with a positioner, the result is an electro-pneumatic actuator that provides the speed of a pneumatic actuator plus the precision of an electric actuator.


Here you will find technical data, operating instructions, manufacturer's certificates, and various drawings for our current range of standard pneumatic actuators. On request, we will gladly provide information on our small and special actuators.

Operating instructions


Pneumatic actuator baelz 373-P11

Compact pneumatic linear actuator for small control valves and ejectors. The reduced dimensions are predestined for compact systems where space is at a premium. Due to its simple design, this pneumatic actuator can be used for OPG operations (valve closed without compressed air) or for OPO operations (valve open without compressed air). This enables the OPG/OPO function to be selected during installation without dismantling the actuator.

Digital I/P positioner

baelz 87

The positioner is used to set the position of a valve according to a control signal.

It compares the corrective signal from the control system to the current position of the valve and issues a pneumatic signal.
