Advantages of ServoValve Compact Actuators versus Scotch Yoke Actuators
- Actuator dimension reduction
- Actuator weight reduction
- Cylinder Volume reduction
- Optimum weight balance
- Flexible customized design
- Direct coupling to Valve flange
- IP 68 totally enclosed construction
- Reduction of cost for fireproof protection
Approximately 10% reduction in weight of actuator compared to scotch yoke and 10% reduction in volume of air. More suitable for compact valves and where weight on the platforms are of concerns.
