Review on Fabco Air FRA25X180 Pneumatic Actuator Rotation by Paul Dobson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Chinese junk, non standard thread, jerky

So much material on Revain lacks information on port size and threats. I've tried threading with a 1/8 tap which seems to fit, but the 1/8 fittings won't thread properly. I assumed it was supposed to be metric, but all the metric thread checkers I have don't work either. Even when I was able to screw the 1/8" thread in deep enough to be safe from air exposure, everything was very jerky and not smooth as you would expect from a quarter turn actuator. Another disappointing waste of time. Revain needs to up its game when it comes to technical products.

Pros
  • Rack and pinion to minimize backlash
Cons
  • Expensive
