Becker Rotary Piston Spring Return Series

Description:

The Becker RP Series (Rotary Piston Spring Return) Actuator utilizes pressurized natural gas and a heavy-duty spring to motivate quarter turn control valves. The RPSR Series actuators provide guaranteed failure mode of the control valve in the event of loss of power gas. The RPSR utilizes a high pressure pneumatic piston and crank-arm design specifically suited for control valve modulation. The high pressure piston strokes the actuator in one direction while a heavy duty spring provides opposing force for reverse travel. The RPDA is capable of throttling ball type control valves up to 16� bore (600 ANSI). The RPSR Series actuator may be utilized for on-off actuation or for precise regulation of natural gas pipelines. The Becker RPSR Series actuators may be supplied as a complete control valve package or for retrofit to customers� existing quarter-turn valves.

Benefits
