Stainless Steel Actuators and Valves in South Carolina

The Linear Underwater Actuator Trunion 1000N and the Linear Actuator 60,000 N Force are both rated to 6,000 meters depth. The Self-Compensated Linear and Rotary Actuators are rated to 3,000 msw (meters of sea water), covering the majority of commercial offshore and research diving depths.

Self-compensated actuators integrate all driver logic, control circuitry, and a 30-bit absolute encoder directly inside the housing. They communicate via RS422 or RS232 serial protocols and retain position information between power cycles, enabling standalone subsea position control without an external controller unit.

Axial force output ranges from 1,000 N (220 lbs) on the compact self-compensated models up to 50,000 N on the high-force 60,000 N Linear Actuator. This range accommodates light-duty manipulation tasks as well as heavy subsea valve actuation and industrial machinery operations.

Yes. Subsea valve and pipeline control is a primary application for all products in this lineup. The high axial force output, depth ratings, and precise position feedback via integrated or external resolvers make them well suited for operating gate valves, ball valves, and other subsea control elements.

Control interfaces include RS422/RS232 serial communication with configurable baud rates for self-compensated models, and external resolver feedback for the high-force trunion and 60,000 N actuators. Self-compensated units also support a Windows software utility for configuration, virtual limit switches, and EEPROM parameter storage.
