QTRCO, INC.

The QTRCO “Q” and “QB” Series ¼ Turn Rack & Gear actuators offer many benefits not found in common rack and pinion or scotch yoke actuators. Our offset pistons eliminate internal, life shortening, cantilever loads while the patented saddle assembly contributes to having the lowest friction actuator on the market. Low friction, combined with the rack and pinion operating mechanism produce an exceptional throttling control capability as well as economical on-off operation. Many additional features, as well as the fact that the “Q” and “QB” Series actuators are made of 316 stainless steel – inside and out – make the QTRPAQ an excellent choice for actuating all ¼ turn valves.
