MODEL 501-12 LINEAR DIAPHRAGM OPERATOR

GARZO Linear Diaphragm Operators are small diameter spring

opposed rolling diaphragm operators suitable for gas compressor
applications. The series 501 operators are designed specifically to be
used in various industrial applications. The rolling diaphragm creates
the perfect seal for friction free cylinders. It is a durable, flexible
membrane shaped like a top hat with the peak of the hat resting against
the end of the piston and the brim clamped between the forward and
rear cylinders. Inside the cylinder this forms a long-lasting frictionless
sealed cushion of air between the piston head and the cylinder wall.
The fabric reinforced elastomer rolling diaphragms are produced
exclusively for GARZO to our exacting standards. Standard diaphragm
material design allows for operation of the cylinders in temperatures
from -31°F to 248°F. Custom diaphragm material design allows for
operation of the cylinders in temperatures from -121°F to 500°F.

The operators are designed to withstand many corrosive elements. The piston and body of the operators are
made from 100% aluminum castings which resist galvanic corrosion and eliminate the need for painting. The
diaphragm is a Dacron fabric, Buna-n impregnated, molded rolling diaphragm. The diaphragms are designed
and manufactured to withstand repeated use in industrial applications, and the fabric prevents the elastomer
from stretching in over pressure conditions. The spring has been electro zinc plated. The piston rod is a large
diameter 300 series stainless steel. All other parts are either plated or stainless steel, making the operator
suitable for offshore salt water, natural gas, and sour gas service.

GARZO linear diaphragm operators are designed using INSTRUMENT SOCIETY of AMERICA recognized
spring rates. The GARZO operators have strokes that follow a true linear progression. A properly sized GARZO
spring opposed diaphragm operator has as much force on the forward stroke as it does on the return stroke.
