Tyco Flow Control Launches Morin “Extended Torque” Actuators

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tyco Flow Control (TFC), a leading provider of valves, actuators and controls, has significantly expanded its Morin scotch yoke product offering. The new “Extended Torque” actuators have an output four times greater than the power available from existing models. Morin Actuator manufactures pneumatic and hydraulic quarter-turn actuators at its Pelham, Alabama facility and is distinguished in the marketplace by offering high-performance standard configurations.

The new actuators can generate torque in excess of one million inch pounds–which can operate valves up to 108 inches in size depending on service conditions. The Morin B & C Series models are designed to meet the demanding applications and needs of many industries including, but not limited to, oil and gas, power, chemical process, water, waste water, and many others.

“Morin developed the extended torque models because of the demand for quicker deliveries of large actuators,” said Bob Morin, Director of Automation for Tyco Flow Control-Americas and founder of Morin Actuator.

Morin Actuator has an established reputation for exceptional and consistent delivery performance in the industry. This month, Morin is celebrating its 25^th consecutive month of 100 percent on-time deliveries. The standard delivery on orders for the new “Extended Torque” design will be 10 to 12 weeks beginning December 1, 2008.
