GEMÜ 695 Pneumatic Valve Actuator 9695 with Indicator for 1/2" to 1" Valves

The GEMÜ 695 Pneumatic Valve Actuator, model 9695, is a robust and reliable actuation device designed for use with diaphragm valves in sizes ranging from 1/2" to 1". Manufactured by GEMÜ, a leader in valve technology, this actuator utilizes pneumatic pressure to provide precise control over valve opening and closing, making it ideal for applications in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage, and chemical processing industries where hygiene and reliability are paramount. Key features include a visual position indicator for easy monitoring, a compact design for space-constrained installations, and construction from durable materials like 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance and longevity. Advantages over similar products include its modular design allowing easy integration with GEMÜ valves, low maintenance requirements due to fewer moving parts, and high cycle life. However, it may require a compressed air supply, which could be a drawback in environments without pneumatic infrastructure. The actuator excels in sterile processes, offering benefits like quick response times and fail-safe operation. Based on image analysis, this unit appears to be in good used condition with no visible damage, featuring a metallic base engraved with '316L GEMU MADE IN USA' and a top-mounted indicator pin. For detailed specs, refer to GEMÜ's official datasheet (available at https://www.gemu-group.com/en_EN/products/valves/actuators/pneumatic-actuators/type-695.html). Estimated market value for a used unit in good condition is $200-300 USD, based on comparable listings on industrial surplus sites like eBay and surplusrecord.com.
