History
El-O-Matic was established in
1973. Initially as a subcontract
machine shop, the company soon
specialised in the manufacture of
pneumatic actuators. The grow-
ing need for process automation
led to the development and pro-
duction of accessories, such as
switch boxes and valve position-
ers. The year 1987 saw the pro-
duction of the first
electric actuators.
National Units
The El-O-Matic world wide net
work was quickly established, in
1978 - just five years after the
company was founded - the first
national unit was opened in
Germany. This was followed by

Pneumatic
Actuators
& Accessories
Pneumatic actuators are required to operate
in a wide variety of applications; they have to
function first time every time, often under
very difficult circumstances. One actuator
may perform hundreds of cycles 24 hours a
day, whereas another may open and close just
once a month - then may stay open for
months on end, but still be ready to shut
down instantly on a failure signal.

Special actuators can be built to

Pneumatic
accessories
The basic actuator may be used to open and close the valve,
but if more functionality is required then the actuators’ speci-
fication can be extended by the addition of one or more of the
available accessories. These can be used to make the actuator
operate faster or slower or to provide position signalling feed-
back to the controller or to provide positional control. These
are just a small sample of the countless additional possibilities
provided by El-O-Matic pneumatic accessories. The range is
extensive and is being added to all the time.

Posiflex positioners
Positioners are instruments that play a vital part in the process.
They must convert the incoming control signal quickly and effi-
ciently and respond by regulating the valve to a precise posi-
tion between 0 and 100%. The El-O-Matic "Posiflex" positioners
are high quality, reliable instruments that form a strong link in
modern process control systems.

High levels of performance are also required
for electric valve actuators. The areas where
these operate are often hostile to both the
exterior and interior of the actuator. Further,
because electric actuators are more frequently
used in outdoor locations they are much more
likely to be exposed to the continuous attack of
environmental and chemical corrosion as well

Modular construction is used extensively in the the ELQ series electric actuators.
Plug in modules are used for an extensive range of control options, these enable
the basic actuator specification to be easily extended to that of fully-fledged
control valve actuators. The basic actuator’s digital electronics enable communi-
