• Choose actuators constructed from corrosion-resistant materials
• Select alloys designed to withstand specific operating conditions
• Consider resistance to moisture, chemicals, or industrial pollutants

Proper material selection forms the foundation of corrosion prevention, ensuring the actuator can withstand its intended environment from the outset.

• Apply high-quality paints, platings, or polymer coatings
• Create a barrier against corrosive elements
• Ensure uniform application without cracks or gaps

These coatings shield metal components from direct contact with moisture or aggressive substances, preventing corrosion from developing on exposed surfaces.

• Maintain effective sealing systems
• Replace worn seals, O-rings, and gaskets regularly
• Prevent moisture and contaminants from entering internal components

Proper sealing keeps corrosive agents away from sensitive parts like springs, shafts, and internal mechanisms that are vulnerable to rust and degradation.

• Reduce exposure to high humidity, salt, or chemical fumes
• Implement ventilation systems or enclosures
• Ensure compressed air supplies are properly dried and filtered

Controlling the operating environment prevents moisture from entering the actuator through air lines and minimizes exposure to corrosive elements.

• Clean external surfaces periodically
• Apply appropriate lubricants to moving parts
• Conduct regular inspections for early signs of corrosion

Regular maintenance removes accumulated dirt and grime, while lubrication reduces friction and provides an additional protective layer against corrosion.
