Established in 1958, Kinetrol originally focused on damping, which led to the development of its rotary viscous dashpots for smooth motion control. Kinetrol later invented and patented its vane-type rotary pneumatic actuator, recognizing the emerging need for quarter-turn valve and mechanism actuation. Over this time, they have continuously developed and extended their actuator and associated control equipment range to meet the ever-changing market demand for increasingly sophisticated and accurate process control and monitoring equipment. This effort has been recognized worldwide.
Kinetrol operates with full inspection and test facilities. They maintain a rigorous quality control program, which includes 100% functional testing of products and full serial number traceability. Their quality system is approved to ISO 9001 (2015) standards.
