Model 4900A Pneumatic Volume Booster

Brand: Fairchild Industrial Products
Rotork Fairchild’s M4900A is a High Flow Pneumatic Volume Booster designed for High-Precision applications.

With its Cv of 9 in both forward and exhaust modes, this Pilot-Operated booster provides fast response, very low deadband and High-Precision control. 

In its Pilot-Operated regulator design, the M4900A handles up 250 psig, [17.0 BAR], (1,700 kPa) supply pressure and delivers an output pressure up to 150 psig [10.0 BAR] (1,000 kPa).

The Fairchild Model 4900A Booster provides a flow capacity of 500 SCFM (850 m3/Hr), which equates to a Cv factor of approximately 9 in both forward and exhaust modes.
Features
  • Cv = 9; Flow capacity of 500 SCFM (850 m3/Hr)
  • Ratio Accuracy of 0.5%
  • Very low deadband between the operation of the supply valve and exhaust valve
  • High capacity exhaust valve
  • Large area diaphragms
  • Soft-Seat supply and exhaust valves
  • Pressure balanced supply valve
  • Damped diaphragm control chamber
  • Two accessory ports connected to the outlet chamber
  • Tapped exhaust port
