Hydraulic actuator

A hydraulic actuator uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to create linear or rotary force. The generic name identifies neither motion form nor single- or double-acting construction. Design pressure, fluid, seals, accumulator or power unit, speed, hydraulic locking, and emergency behaviour must be defined from the actual circuit and load.

Application and duty

Generating actuation force with a hydraulic circuit designed for the actual equipment

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary

Valve movement, control and position monitoring in manual and automated systems

Break torque, running torque, cycle count, travel time and safety requirements must be checked for the complete valve-actuator assembly.
