The Smart Suite can be assembled to handle a variety of pneumatic functions. The Smart Suite is a group of compatible pneumatic products from IMI Norgren Inc., Littleton, Colo. It includes a cylinder, programmable proportional valve, pump, intelligent FRL, and intelligent valve. Manufacturers can configure products in this line to handle key pneumatic functions such as air preparation, pressure and vacuum control, and actuation. is an integrated actuator containing its own valve, solenoids, and fieldbus connection. The integrated design makes it easy to specify pneumatic actuators, simplifies installation,

Products & Services
Valve positioners compare a control signal to a valve actuator’s position and move the actuator accordingly. They are used with both linear valves and rotary valves. Search by Specification | Learn more about Valve Positioners
Pneumatic valve actuators adjust valve position by converting air pressure into linear or rotary motion. Search by Specification | Learn more about Pneumatic Valve Actuators
Valve actuators mount on valves and, in response to a signal, move a valve to a desired position using an outside power source. Search by Specification | Learn more about Valve Actuators
Electrohydraulic valve actuators and hydraulic valve actuators convert fluid pressure supply pressure into motion. Search by Specification | Learn more about Electrohydraulic Valve Actuators and Hydraulic Valve Actuators
Air springs use a contained column of air inside an elastomeric bellows or sleeve to buffer cyclic motion, provide vibration isolation, or serve as a pneumatic actuator. Search by Specification | Learn more about Air Springs
