PAX

PAX units are flexible, low voltage actuators that are designed for use in remote, explosionproof locations. They are ideal for midstream and downstream systems that demand precision and reliability, such as within natural gas. Many PAX actuators have been supplied to gas utility companies at natural gas pressure reducing stations to provide automation. This eliminates expensive manual field operation. PAX technology provides simple and rapid compliance to emissions guidelines. They are also suitable for use within water distribution automation networks.
