Next-generation valve actuation

Compact electrohydraulic CAI EH/VH control actuators

In line with the ongoing development of our compact electrohydraulic actuators for power-operated valves, we have created an actuator for control valves featuring a new technology that is reliable and precise, eliminating the need for positioners or compressed air.

 

> ELECTRICAL

Eliminates the old generation of electro-pneumatic valve positioners

> PRECISE

Repositioning accuracy of ± 2/100 mm without hysteresis

> COMPACT

Following the CAI EH/VH block technology

> POWERFUL 

Utilization of hydraulic energy up to 250 bar max

> SAFETY

Integrated safety function

> RELIABLE

The system's simplicity and the quality of components make the CAI EH/VH actuator easy to install and safe to use

Presentation and Operating Principle

a. MANIFOLD (drilled block) ensuring the function

  • Regulation by 4-20 mA servovalve (version ± 10V, ±30V, ±50V available on request)
  • Management of pressures and speed in OPEN and CLOSE directions
  • Management of speed for safety function
  • Pressure ports for operational verification
  • Hydraulic manual control (optional)

*No external piping connections

b. Regulation Loop*

  • Position sensor (internal or external)
  • Electronic module for position sensor management
  • Parameter adjustment and reading module via Bluetooth (optional)
  • Servovalve/sensor management module
  • Fieldbus interface module (HART, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, etc.)

*Option for local or remote control (control room for ATEX version)

Motorized Valves

Following a partnership agreement with a European control valve manufacturer, we can now supply motorized valves for On-Off or Control applications.
