VariStroke-I

The VariStroke-I is a linear electrohydraulic actuator designed to provide linear actuation force for steam turbine inlet valves or valve racks. This integrated actuator is intended for use on steam turbines and operates with a low-pressure hydraulic oil source.

Product description and features

The accuracy and resolution of the VariStroke-I make it ideal for controlling steam turbine valves, turbine speed, and related load control. The VariStroke-I electronic module accepts one or two redundant 4–20 mA position demand signals to position the valve control.

Precise and stable steam valve control directly improves steam turbine speed and load control.
