  • The Vahn-Tech Series VT-SX Explosion Proof Spring-Return Fail-Safe Electric Actuators in addition to the normal function (floating control, on-off control, modulating control) are designed to provide fail-safe positioning of valves and dampers upon loss of power supply. A mechanical spring set is used to position the controlled device to either the fully OPEN or fully CLOSED position without any external power source. For ON-OFF type, a mechanical buffer is employed at the end of the spring stroke in order to reduce the dynamic effects of the spring return system. A clutch-free manual override is available as an option for standard units to provide full-time manual positioning of the valve.

  • The Vahn-Tech Series 4X4 packs more than double the torque of conventional rack and pinion actuators thanks to its four pistons generating torque around a centrally located pinion. With more pistons in the actuator, this allows the actuator being more compact with size reduced by more than 30% compared to double piston actuator of the same torque. With four small cylinders each located on one of four sides of the unit and at a given air pressure, the 4x4 produces the same torque output as double piston models using smaller diameter pistons and a narrower pinion. The narrower pinion allows the pistons to travel shorter distances so that they can move faster from one position to the next.
    Compact Rack & Pinion
  • The Vahn-Tech Series DFS is an economic rack and pinion style pnuematic actuator, with both captured coil spring-return and double-acting configurations. With standardized accessory (VDI/VDE 3845) and valve (ISO 5211) mounting pads, packaging with Vahn-Tech and third-party valves and accessories is simplified and easy.

  • The Limitorque LHS and LHH Hydraulic Scotch Yoke actuator series are designed to meet or exceed the most current and stringent safety and reliability standards for application in the oil and gas industry. LHS and LHH are ideal where hydraulic motive power is preferred for the operation of quarter-turn valves and for applications requiring a robust heavy duty design, long service life, high-torque and high-speed operation.
    Heavy Duty High Torque
  • The Limitorque LDG Direct Gas powered scotch yoke actuator series is specifically designed to be operated by high pressure natural gas, or any other high pressure pneumatic fluid up to a maximum of 105 barg (1500 psig). LDG actuators are ideal for pipeline applications where no external sources of motive power are present and provide a robust heavy duty design and long service life with industry leading maintenance intervals. This makes them the actuator of choice for installation in remote or unmanned facilities.
    Direct Gas Powered
  • The Vahn-Tech Series VT-OM Electric Actuators offer a range of 35 Nm to 4500 Nm torque. The actuator comes standard with NEMA 4X (IP 67) environment rating. All models are ISO 5211 compliant and have a visual position indicator. The manual override can be operated without clutch and brake.
    Economical General Purpose
  • The Vahn-Tech Series VT-OMX Explosion Proof Electric Actuators offer torque ranges from 35 Nm to 1,500 Nm (310 in-lb to 13,280 in-lb). All models are ISO 5211 compliant and are equipped with a visual position indicator. The manual override can be operated without clutch and brake. VT-OMX series explosion-proof quarter-turn electric actuators are structured as flame-proof and combustible dust-proof. The directive and standards marking are II2GD Ex db IIB T4 Gb, Ex tb IIIC T130°C Db. They are classified as Zone 1 or Zone 2, containing Group II A and Group II B gases, Zone 21 or Zone 22, containing combustible dust atmospheres or explosive gas atmospheres and combustible dust atmospheres. Temperature group T1 to T4.

  • The Limitorque LRP provides durable functionality and prolonged service life through unique features such as piston support rods within the actuator, ensuring that side loads generated by the pistons are transmitted through bearings in the end cap and not the body. This eliminates the need for the body to be used as a loadbearing surface and promotes longer service life. The support rod design of the Limitorque LRP actuator distinguishes it from the standard rack and pinion design and offers reliable operation, performance stability and longer service life.
