  • Functional Features:​ Failsafe operation via internal return spring on servo valve; configuration and valve flow linearization via PC-based Service Tool through RS-232; redundant LVDT position sensors; self-cleaning shear-type action; visual stroke gauge included.
  • Working Principle:​ Receives a 4–20 mA position command, compares it to LVDT feedback, drives the onboard servo valve to direct hydraulic flow to the double-acting cylinder, and moves the piston to the commanded position. Dual redundant CANopen enables networked control and diagnostics.
  • Application Scenarios:​ Fuel valve actuation for gas and steam turbines; precise linear positioning where high force and failsafe capability are required in hazardous industrial environments.
  • Structural Characteristics:​ Double-acting hydraulic cylinder with integrated servo valve and onboard driver; redundant LVDT; model-dependent mounting flange pattern; can be mounted in any attitude.
  • Installation Requirements:​ Requires external hydraulic power supply (5.5–35 bar); electrical connections must use shielded wiring; hydraulic fluid must meet ISO 20/16 cleanliness; install per model-specific outline drawing.
  • Usage Notes:​ Configure and calibrate using the VariStroke-II Service Tool; verify failsafe direction (extend or retract) per model; observe ATEX/cUL hazardous location restrictions.
