Hydraulic
Hydraulic actuators use oil under high pressure as energy power source.
Main features of hydraulic actuators are:
Compact and small design
Smooth operation over complete valve stroke
Spring return actuators for fail-safe operation
Possibility for submerged or sub-sea operation
Hydraulic actuators can be equipped with many ancillaries such as:
Limit switches (direct mounted to actuator or in a switchbox)
Solenoid valves
Throttle block
Potentiometer
Pilot operated check valves
Lever or hand pump unit
Function:
Remote open/close position monitoring of the valve (mechanical switches or inductive proximity sensors)
Remote on/off operation of actuator
Speed control for increased operating times
Continuous valve disc position feedback (resistance signal)
Maintain valve disc position after hydraulic supply failure
Manual override of operation after hydraulic supply failure
