Steam Turbine Pilot Valve Actuator: Hybrid Actuator with Built-In Control Solved Obsolescence Issue for Food Manufacturer

Challenge

A producer of food products needed an actuation solution to replace a discontinued Tri-Sen actuator that controls a pilot valve for their steam turbine system. They tried an electro-mechanical actuator for this application that failed multiple times. They needed a simple drop-in solution that could handle the shock loads and provide accurate control.

Kyntronics Solution

  • “Total Solution” electro-hydraulic valve actuator including the motor, drive, and control contained in an attached stainless-steel enclosure.
  • Closed-loop servo control using position feedback on the actuator.
  • 120VAC powered control solution.

Customer Benefits

  • Eliminated the problems with contaminated oil plugging up the hydraulic circuit on the discontinued actuator.
  • Easily integrated into the existing Tri-Sen actuator location.
  • Auto homing / park position in case of loss of signal.

Application Requirements

Stroke: 2”
Speed: 3 in/sec
Force: 100 lbf.
