Convert Max-Air Rack & Pinion Actuator from Fail Close to Fail Open or from Fail Open to Fail Close

Recently, we had the opportunity to photograph one of our LockMeshยฎ Coated Actuators after 2 years of service. This unit comes from a prominent salt mining and processing company. They have had great success using our LockMeshยฎ Coated Actuators. With several hundred units installed, they have specified our coated actuators for all future projects. This is a significant cost savings for them when compared to the alternatives of stainless steel actuators or replacing standard aluminum actuators every few months.

Max-Air is proud to offer our advanced coating system, LockMeshยฎ.
This hybrid coating system combines the rugged toughness of a stainless
steel base coating with the corrosion resistance of PTFE.

Corrosive environment applications such as marine areas, caustic
wash down, submerged service, and direct chemical exposure require
equipment with enhanced corrosion resistance. Frequently the common
options are plating, painting, or a change to stainless steel construction.
All of these can be effective in some applications; however, they do have
limitations and in some cases carry a significant weight and/or cost
impact.

LockMeshยฎ has been shown to provide a cost effective compromise.
It provides the chemical resistance of PTFE along with the durability
enhancement of a stainless steel base layer.
