Valve Actuation Solutions

Hydraulic Power. Electric Control. Built for Modern Valve Actuation.

Across many industries including oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment, power generation, and industrial manufacturing, engineers are moving beyond traditional hydraulic power units in favor of more efficient valve actuation systems.

Conventional hydraulic systems often require continuously running pumps, extensive plumbing, and ongoing maintenance, increasing operating costs while limiting flexibility. As automation demands continue to grow, manufacturers need valve actuation systems that provide flexibility, automation, precise motion, improved energy efficiency, and simplified maintenance without sacrificing performance.

Kyntronics provides advanced valve actuation solutions that combine the power density of hydraulics with the precision and efficiency of electric servo control. Whether you’re designing new equipment, modernizing an existing system, or improving process control, Kyntronics Actuation solutions are designed for an array of demanding environments. Our Hybrid Linear Actuators and Compact Servo Power Units help industry automate valves, replace traditional hydraulic power units, and improve system performance, reducing energy consumption and maintenance while meeting various hazardous location safety ratings.

 

VALVE ACTUATION APPLICATIONS

Oil & Gas : Automate control of choke valves, gate valves, and wellhead systems while replacing traditional hydraulic power units with compact servo-controlled solutions.

Chemical Processing: Improve process reliability with precise positioning and accurate flow control for demanding chemical processing environments.

Water & Wastewater Treatment: Provide dependable valve actuation for water distribution, treatment systems, and municipal infrastructure while minimizing maintenance requirements.

Power Generation: Deliver reliable valve control for steam, cooling, and process systems where precision and uptime are critical.

Industrial Manufacturing: Automate process valves throughout manufacturing facilities with energy-efficient servo-controlled hybrid actuation systems.

Mining & Heavy Industry: Rugged hybrid actuation solutions designed for harsh operating conditions requiring durability, reliability, and high force.

 

WHY CHOOSE HYBRID ACTUATION FOR VALVE AUTOMATION?

Power-on-Demand Operation: Unlike traditional hydraulic systems that run constantly, Kyntronics hybrid actuation and servo power unit solutions consume energy only when motion is required, significantly reducing overall power consumption.

Compact System Design: Reduce system footprint by eliminating large hydraulic power units, reservoirs, hoses, piping, and other environmental concerns with compact, self-contained systems that simplify machine design and reduce installation space.

Reduced Maintenance & Cleaner Operation: Reduced maintenance requirements and fewer potential leak points help improve system reliability and safety. With no routine hydraulic fluid changes, there is also no need to manage or dispose of old fluid.

Servo Precision: Achieve accurate control of position, force, speed, pressure, and flow for improved process performance, data acquisition, repeatability, and valve positioning.

Multi-Valve Control: Operate one or multiple hydraulic cylinders or rotary actuators from a single Servo Power Unit. Multi-port configurations allow valves to be controlled sequentially or independently while simplifying system architecture.

Robust Design for Harsh Environments: Designed to withstand shock loads, pressure spikes, side loads, and demanding duty cycles, Kyntronics hybrid solutions deliver reliable operation without sacrificing precision or performance.

Fail-Safe & Manual Override Options: Support safe system operation with available fail-safe configurations and manual override capabilities, helping meet application-specific safety and operational requirements.

Fieldbus Compatibility: Integrate seamlessly with modern industrial automation systems through support for common Fieldbus communication protocols, enabling centralized monitoring, diagnostics, and control.

Flexible Integration: Integrate with existing hydraulic cylinders, rotary actuators, PLCs, and industrial control systems for both new equipment and retrofit applications.

Hazardous Location Configurations: Available with hazardous location, intrinsically safe, explosion-proof, and washdown configurations for demanding industrial and oil & gas environments.

 

FEATURED SOLUTION : COMPACT POWER UNITS FOR ADVANCED VALVE AUTOMATION

For many valve automation applications, the Kyntronics Compact Hybrid Power Unit (SPU) provides the ideal, versatile solution. Designed to deliver servo-controlled hydraulic power in a compact, self-contained package, the SPU enables engineers to configure and automate one or multiple hydraulic cylinders or rotary actuators while significantly reducing system size, energy consumption, and maintenance requirements.

Multi-port configurations allow multiple valves to operate sequentially or independently from a single system, making the SPU an ideal solution for:

  • Wellhead valve control
  • Choke valve automation
  • Gate valve systems
  • Multi-valve sequencing
  • Hydraulic power unit replacement
  • Industrial process control
