Our pneumatic linear piston actuators are designed to drive control valves for the most demanding applications in the Power and Oil & Gas Industries; such as turbine bypass, steam conditioning valves, desuperheaters, compressors and antisurge. Thanks to the special patented piston design, including a double ring guiding system and a grease channel providing continuous lubrication, SC/V actuators ensure smooth and precise valve operation without any maintenance for the whole operating life. This series of actuators are designed with a patented plug-in connection system for a wide range of customer-tailored accessories and control systems to meet the most demanding and critical valve operating conditions.

Dimensions
Optional accessories
IMI STI designs and produces a wide range of accessories and control systems to ensure superior performance and to satisfy the most demanding requirements in modulating, on/off and heavy duty service. Control systems pan-els/cabinets can be installed on the actuators or supplied loose for remote mounting which allows for easy access and limits exposure to excess heat and vibration.
