How to prevent corrosion in a 90 degree pneumatic actuator

2025-05-22

Corrosion can significantly reduce the lifespan of a pneumatic actuator. Here are key preventive measures:

1. Material Selection

Choose stainless steel (304/316) or aluminum with corrosion-resistant coatings for bodies and internal components.

Use Viton or EPDM seals for chemical resistance.

2. Protective Coatings & Treatments

Apply epoxy/powder coatings or anodizing (for aluminum) to shield against moisture and chemicals.

 

Use anti-corrosion sprays (e.g., silicone-based) on exposed metal parts.

3. Air Quality Control

Install air dryers and filters (40µ or finer) to remove moisture and contaminants.

Maintain proper dew point to prevent internal condensation.

4. Environmental Protection

Use weatherproof enclosures (IP65/IP67) for outdoor or humid environments.

Avoid direct exposure to saltwater, acids, or abrasive dust.

5. Regular Maintenance

Inspect for rust, pitting, or seal degradation periodically.

Reapply lubricants (e.g., silicone grease) to O-rings and moving parts.

6. Cathodic Protection (for Severe Conditions)

Install sacrificial anodes in marine/offshore applications.

By implementing these steps, corrosion-related failures can be minimized, ensuring long-term reliability.
