Description

1. Overview of Scotch Yoke Pneumatic Actuator

The Scotch Yoke pneumatic actuator is a quarter-turn piston-driven actuator with a compact, durable design. It is specifically engineered for valves requiring 90° rotation, such as butterfly, ball, and plug valves. The actuators are available in single-acting (spring-return) and double-acting configurations to suit different operational requirements:

  • Single-Acting Actuator: Automatically resets to the initial position during power or air loss, ensuring fail-safe operation.
  • Double-Acting Actuator: Maintains the valve position during air loss, suitable for applications where reset is not required.

Applications:

  • Industrial automation systems
  • Oil and gas pipelines
  • Chemical processing plants
  • Water and wastewater treatment
