Asahi America, Inc. has expanded our pneumatic actuator product line by adding a new more powerful model, the M79P, to their family of pneumatic actuators. The double acting (air to air) M79PN pneumatic actuator can produce up to 40,441 inch pounds of output torque based on an 80 psi air supply. The single acting (air to spring) M79PSN pneumatic actuator can produce up to 15,660 inch pounds of output torque based on an 80 psi air supply.

These new actuators are able to be mounted on Asahi/America large size butterfly valves (14" or larger) as well as most thermoplastic or metal large size ball valves and butterfly valves with standard ISO or NAMUR mounting dimensions.

Asahi/America, together with our manufacturing partner Agru of Austria, continues to lead the advancement of IR welding technology.  The latest model, SP-110S, includes numerous upgrades and features a completely automated welding process.

The SP-110S controls all movement and parameters during each phase of the welding process (heating, change over, joining and cooling).  The heating element and clamps are precisely controlled and moved by the welding equipment.  This automation eliminates operator influence during the fusion process and provides unmatched repeatability.

The RoHS Directive, in effect July 1, 2006, applies to electrical and electronic equipment sold to the member nations of the European Union (EU). The intent of this Directive is to eliminate the following hazardous substances from electric/electronic equipment components.

Hg - Mercury, Cd - Cadmium, Pb - Lead, CrVI(Cr+6) - Hexalevent Chromium, PBDE - Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers, PBB - Polybrominated Biphenyls

The following Asahi America, Inc. products comply with this directive:

• Series 92, Series 94, Series 83 electric actuators
• All Voltage Options
• Extra Limit Switches
• 2-Wire Control
• Mechanical Brake
• Heater and Thermostat
• Cycle Length Control (CLC)
• Center-Off

As our current inventory levels for non-compliant electrical/electronic components are depleted and replaced with RoHS Compliant components (FIFO Inventory), we will be expanding this list of products that comply with the RoHS Directive.

In 2005 we introduced the PVDF Extended Leg Elbow (5402), now we Introduce new Pro Line PP SDR11 (5007) and Poly Pure (6302) versions. Our advanced molding technique produced a long spigot elbow  with a smooth transition from the bend. The adaptable Extended Leg 90 Degree Elbow has many advantages including improved flow characteristics and lower pressure resistance. The new Extended Leg Elbow in Proline is available in sizes 1/2" (20mm) through 8" (200mm).  The Poly Pure style is offered in 1/2" to 4".

The new part number series for Proline is 5007xx.

The previous part number 5004xx is now obsolete.

The new part number series of Poly Pure is 6302xx.
