Product Features

Compact design with springs installed on the same side of the cylinder and retained by the piston and piston rod, features a true modular design with modules assembled and tested as separates units. The push-to-compress springs are safely enclosed by tie rods and positively retained on the torque module under all load conditions. The pneumatic cylinder proven and reliable design with external tie rods is suitable for continuous duty service at the maximum rated pressure. The LPC is designed for a maximum allowable wog pressure of 12 barg (174 psig), as standard for operation across a full range of applications. Its low displacement design reduces operation and controls package costs. The actuator is available in single-acting spring return (Fail Close CW and Fail Open CCW) and double-acting (Fail Last / Fail as Is) Upon request, available in balanced weight configuration, with cylinder and spring installed on opposite sides of central body (for this option, contact Flowserve).

Reliable scotch yoke design minimizes transverse loads and is suitable for high cycles applications. A symmetrical yoke is standard, and a canted yoke is available optionally. The torque and pressure modules include numerous heavy-duty features, including:

High-strength, heat-treated alloy steel guide bar is hard chrome plated for wear and corrosion protection

Guide block for directional alignment of linear forces, transfer of side loads to the guide bar, and transfer of torque to the yoke

High-strength yoke pin for maximum torque transfer while minimizing wear and localized stresses

Wear and corrosion protection of all components is ensured with suitable treatments and coatings.

Electroless nickel plating is the standard for the internal surface of the pneumatic cylinder to ensure complete sealing and superior corrosion resistance. Other coatings for the internal surface of the cylinder are available upon request.

Modular design for flexible and easy field conversion from Fail Close CW to Fail Open CCW configuration or vice versa

On-site maintenance without need of special tools

Rapid emergency response in less than 0.5 seconds achieved through optimized design. The LPC is designed with emphasis on ever-increasing requirements for fast response time. The result is the smallest possible displacement volume for given torque outputs, resulting in the fastest possible cylinder exhaust, making it ideal for emergency applications such as EDS and HIPPS.
