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. For more information, see dedicated brochure of accessories.
