      FAQ About HPA-G Heavy Duty Scotch Yoke Pneumatic Actuator

      Q1: Is the torque sufficient to operate my valve?

      We can recommend the right model based on valve type, size, differential pressure, media, and safety factor. The HPA-G Scotch yoke design provides strong start and end torque for demanding quarter-turn valve applications — typical for ball valves and butterfly valves. Full torque output tables are available for both double-acting and spring-return configurations at 3–7 barg.

      Q2: Double-acting or spring-return — which should I choose?

      If your project requires a fail-safe position when air supply is lost, spring-return is the better choice. For balanced output and frequent cycling (on-off or modulating), double-acting is more suitable. The HPA-G series supports both configurations with fail-open and fail-close options to meet project safety requirements.

      Q3: Will it operate reliably if the air supply pressure fluctuates?

      We size the actuator based on the minimum available air supply to ensure reliable operation under real site conditions. The HPA-G series is designed for 3.5–7 bar operating pressure, with selected models rated up to 10 bar, maintaining stable performance even when supply pressure is variable or reduced.

      Q4: Is it suitable for low temperature, high temperature, or corrosive environments?

      Yes. The HPA-G series scotch yoke actuator is available in standard, low-temperature, ultra-low-temperature (to -40°C / -60°C), and high-temperature versions. It features hard chrome plating, permanent lubrication, and three-layer epoxy coating for long-term corrosion resistance in offshore, chemical, and harsh industrial environments.

      Q5: Is it compatible with my existing valve mounting interface?

      The HPA-G series scotch yoke pneumatic actuator is designed with ISO 5211 compatibility to simplify integration with quarter-turn valves such as ball valves and butterfly valves. Before order, we confirm the valve mounting standard, flange size, and stem dimensions to avoid on-site rework or delivery delays.

      Q6: Can you provide accessories and a complete control package?

      Yes. We offer a complete package including solenoid valves, limit switch boxes, electro-pneumatic positioners, manual override gearboxes, and position indicators. Accessories are modular and can be configured based on project requirements for on-off, modulating, or emergency shutdown applications.

      Q7: Is maintenance complicated? Will it suffer from air leaks, sticking, or short service life?

      We pay close attention to sealing performance, lubrication, corrosion protection, and maintainability. Sharing your media, environment, and operating frequency allows us to recommend a configuration with the right seals and surface treatment for extended service life and reduced maintenance cost.

      Q8: Do you have certifications for hazardous areas and international projects?

      The HPA-G series covers IP66, IP67, and NEMA 4 / 4X protection levels. ATEX, SIL, and GOST certifications are available depending on project requirements. Typical industries include oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment, and power generation — supporting EPC, end-user, and package contractor projects.

      Purchase Guide

      Step 1 Confirm Valve & Process Parameters

      ParameterWhat to ProvideWhy It Matters
      Valve TypeBall valve / Butterfly valve / Plug valveDetermines torque curve shape and shift fork selection
      Valve SizeDN / NPS (e.g. DN100, DN200)Used to estimate required torque range
      Differential Pressure (△P)Maximum operating differential pressure (bar / psi)Directly affects break torque and end torque
      Process MediaLiquid / gas / slurry / corrosive mediaAffects seal selection and safety factor
      Temperature RangeAmbient temperature + media temperature (°C / °F)Determines temperature version (standard / low-temp / high-temp)
      Air Supply PressureMinimum available pressure (e.g. 4 bar min, 5.5 bar nominal)Torque output must be verified at minimum pressure
      Operation FrequencyCycles per hour / day (on-off or modulating)Affects actuator sizing and seal / lubrication recommendation

      Step 2  Select Action Type

      Double Acting (DA)High-frequency cycling, on-off control; no fail-safe requirementStays in last position (no spring)DA
      Spring Return — Fail Close (SR-FC)Critical shutoff valves, emergency shutdown (ESD)Spring drives valve CLOSED on air lossSR + FC
      Spring Return — Fail Open (SR-FO)Cooling water, pressure relief; valve must stay OPEN on air lossSpring drives valve OPEN on air lossSR + FO

      Note:  For SR models, spring numbers SR1–SR4 represent increasing spring torque. Select based on the valve closing torque requirement. Refer to the single-action torque tables in the product brochure.

      Step 3  Select Shift Fork Type

      The HPA-G offers two shift fork configurations that affect the torque output curve and model sizing.

      Shift Fork TypeTorque CharacteristicsBest Suited For
      Symmetrical (default, no suffix)Equal maximum torque at both stroke ends (0° and 90°); minimum at mid-stroke — U-shaped curveBall valves and applications where torque is similar at both end positions
      Asymmetrical (suffix: -F)Maximum torque at one stroke end only; theoretically up to 20% higher torque at that end compared to symmetrical typeButterfly valves and applications requiring high torque at only one end; allows smaller actuator size and lower cost

      Step 4  Determine Required Torque & Select Model

      Always size against the minimum available air supply pressure. The selected model’s Start Torque must be equal to or greater than:

      • Valve Break Torque × Safety Factor (recommended: 1.25 – 1.5)
      • Verify that Running Torque and End Torque are also covered across the full stroke.
      • For SR models: additionally confirm that Spring Torque meets the fail-direction drive requirement.

      Note: Refer to the complete torque tables in the HPA-G product brochure. Maximum torque up to 250,000 Nm; customized up to 800,000 Nm available on request.

      Step 5 Select Temperature Version

      VersionTemperature RangeKey FeaturesModel Suffix
      Standard-29°C to +80°C (-20°F to 176°F)Standard seals + standard lubricant(none)
