Fisher 685 series piston actuators provide medium to high thrust output for a variety of medium to very large Fisher sliding-stem valves, including the easy-e™, HP, EH, FB, and 461 valves. The double-acting design of the actuator results in stiff, precise positioning. Spring-return constructions are also available and offer a fail open or closed mode of operation when paired with a valve.
Power Your Process with Unmatched Reliability
The Fisher 685 Actuator is engineered for durability and precision in demanding industrial valve automation. Featuring a robust rack and piston design, this pneumatic actuator delivers high torque output in a compact, lightweight package, making it the ideal choice for quarter-turn applications like ball, plug, and butterfly valves.
Built to withstand harsh environments, the 685 actuator offers long service life with minimal maintenance. Its versatile design includes adjustable travel stops, a corrosion-resistant epoxy coating, and a wide range of spring options for fail-safe operation. Whether you’re in chemical processing, oil & gas, power generation, or water treatment, trust the Fisher 685 to provide consistent and dependable performance for your most critical control loops.
