FOREWORD
The MIL 67/68 Double Acting Piston Cylinder Actuator is a high-power, high-performance, pneumatic actuator that provides either positive throttling or on-off operation for automatic control valves. These actuators & positioners have the capability to work upto 100 psi, making very high thrust obtainable from a small and compact unit. Positioners are normally yoke mounted and double acting type, which, by providing air to both sides of the piston, give an exceptionally stiff and precise unit which is resistant to load fluctuations and transients and has very high frequency response. KEY FEATURES INCLUDE. WIDE RANGE OF STROKES AND SIZES To actuate entire range of sliding stem control valves, actuators are available from 1 to 12 strokes. Higher strokes available on request. Actuators available in 16, 20 & 24 size to meet any thrust requirement. HIGH THRUST CAPABILITY 100 psi operating pressure allows substantially higher thrust capabilities than other comparable actuators. HIGH FREQUENCY RESPONSE Double-acting configuration responds quickly to signal changes. FIELD REVERSIBLE Failure mode can be easily reversed without additional parts. STABLE OPERATION Supply pressure is sent to both sides of the piston for stable actuator operation. FASTER TRAVEL With faster response and the higher air supply pressures, travel times are lesser with piston cylinder actuators. COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT MIL double acting piston cylinder actuators are substantially lighter and more compact than other comparable designs and are easier to install and maintain. Smaller size allows linear cylinder actuators to be installed in more positions. DURABLE COMPONENTS High quality materials require very little maintenance. SIMPLE MAINTENANCE Periodic maintenance is easy to perform with MILs yoke-to-cylinder attachment system. Actuators have fewer parts and hence reduced inventory. TIGHT SHUTOFF High operating pressures (100 psi) ensures tight shutoff.

HIGH-LEVEL POSITIONAL STIFFNESS Small air volume between the piston and the bottom of the cylinder provides powerful pneumatic snubbing-allowing high pressure, flow over the plug operation without plug slamming.
