Actuator Structure (click to learn more)

Integrate and streamline your design with our compact actuator models, which use the same body and end caps for both double-acting and spring-return mechanisms. This uniformity minimises spare parts inventory, enhancing convenience for customer applications in the field. You can easily modify these actuators by adding or removing spring cartridges, making them highly adaptable and user-friendly.
Our products meet the latest international standards, including ISO 5211, DIN 3337, and VDI/VDE 3845, among others. They are also fully compliant with the NUMAR standard. This ensures easy interchangeability and convenience when replacing or mounting accessories like solenoid valves and limit switches.
Utilise a rack and pinion system with double pistons to benefit from a compact design, extended operational life, and rapid functionality. The tooth surface of the piston, processed via a CNC machining centre, ensures enhanced gear efficiency and precise transmission. This leads to stable and dependable performance. Additionally, altering the rotation direction is straightforward—simply reverse the pistons, thanks to the design’s symmetrical mounting capability.
Dual independent travel stoppers allow for precise and convenient external adjustments of ±5° in two directions. This enables actuators to align with the valve during both the opening and closing phases of the stroke.
Composite bearings and guides in both the pinion and piston guarantee precise functionality, minimal friction, and extended durability. This design effectively safeguards the output shaft against fractures.
The specialised sealing ring positioned between the body and cylinder prevents initial failure due to the suction of the rubber plug. This feature enhances safety, ensures a leak-proof seal, and extends the product's lifespan.
The rack and pinion tooth is engineered with a superior tooth profile ratio for minimal clearance, ensuring precise driving and enhanced output power. This high-precision design delivers reliable performance and efficient power transmission.
The body of the extruded aluminium is treated to resist corrosion both inside and out. A finely ground cylinder surface results in a low coefficient of friction and extends the product's cycle life significantly.
Preload spring cartridges featuring a specialised coating are suitable for numerous applications, offering enhanced security and resistance to corrosion. These modular units are designed to function effectively in various environments, ensuring reliability and long-lasting performance.
High-quality bearings feature reliable seals, low friction, extended service life, and a broad application temperature range.

Frequent Interrogation

Heavy duty valves are designed for applications involving high pressures, temperatures, frequent cycling, vibration, or corrosive fluids. They have thicker walls and parts than standard valves.

Typical materials include stainless steel alloys, carbon steel, cast steel, bronze, nickel alloys, and cobalt-based alloys designed to handle extreme conditions.

End connections like flanges, butt welds, socket welds, threaded, and specialty couplings suit various piping systems. Rating and materials match the pipeline.

Heavy duty valves utilise solid PTFE, chloroprene rubber, viton, compressed asbestos fiber, and graphite packing along with gaskets made of spiral wound metal and kammprofile.

Manual actuation using handwheels, gears, and chainwheels. Automated actuation uses pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric actuators often with fail-safe functions.

Pressure ratings vary widely but often fall between 1500 psi to 4500 psi. However, some special metal seated valves are rated beyond 10,000 psi.

Testing involves shell, seat, and backseat leakage checks, seal validation, high pressure resistance, temperature cycling, vibration, and flow performance.

Certifications can include MSS SP-70 for valve testing, NACE MR0175 for corrosion resistance, and various plant specifications like Shell SPE or API standards.

Oil & gas, chemical processing, mining, power generation, steam systems, and other extreme pressure, temperature, or fluid conditions.

Routine inspection for leaks and smooth operation should occur regularly. Timing varies greatly depending on usage but 2-5 years is typical for overhaul of internals.

Actuated Valve Testing & Calibration

All actuated valve assemblies are fully tested and calibrated in house prior to packing and shipping from our expert team of technical engineers. This means that when they arrive at site, you're immediately ready to install and get your production back up and running.
