Direct Gas Actuators PDF Print E-mail

headdgactuator

Overview
Paladon’s DG Series of direct gas actuators are a simpler and more cost effective solution than gas/hydraulic type actuators. Rather than use the process gas to pressurise hydraulic fluid to provide the energy to operate the actuator, the process gas acts directly upon the actuator’s piston. To ensure long and reliable operation, Paladon ensures that, whatever the quality of the process gas, it is sufficiently filtered before entering the control system and actuator. Numerous additional control system options are available; including linebreak detection (rate of drop and high/low) and remote control.

 

Applications
Automation of rotary and linear valves in gas transmission lines.
