Fisher® 846
Fisher® 846 electro-pneumatic transducer accepts an electrical input signal and converts it to a pneumatic output signal. The transducer includes a patented deflector/nozzle design that consists of two nozzles positioned so that the constant air flow exiting the supply nozzle. Vibration resistant and tolerant of dirty supply air.
