Allen-Bradley QC16C Pneumatic Rotary Actuator

Description:

The QC16C Pneumatic Actuator is used in valve automation and pneumatic motion systems for converting compressed air into rotary mechanical movement for quarter-turn valves and process equipment. Commonly installed on ball valves, butterfly valves, dampers, and industrial flow control systems requiring reliable pneumatic actuation. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this actuator for replacement, retrofit, expansion, or repair of industrial valve automation systems. Available information indicates the QC16C is an unbranded rotary pneumatic actuator primarily supplied as an OEM replacement component.

Applications:

The QC16C is commonly used in chemical processing plants, water treatment facilities, food processing equipment, manufacturing plants, and pneumatic control systems where remote or automated valve operation is required. Pneumatic rotary actuators are widely used for quarter-turn valve applications due to their high torque output, fast response times, and simple compressed air operation.
