P1254 INTEGRATED VALVE ACTUATOR (IVA) GEARCHANGE UNIT
After over a decade of collaboration with MEGA-Line, utilising their Gearchange Control Units (GCUs) and valve block assemblies connected to Xtrac dual acting reciprocal actuators, Xtrac and MEGA-Line have jointly developed an Integrated Valve Actuator (IVA) pneumatic rotary gearchange unit.
The P1254 has many significant advantages over conventional gearchange system which utilise separate valve blocks and actuators.
