Actuators

Hydraulic servo actuators (HSAs) are used to precisely control displacement in a wide range of equipment. Generally, a hydraulic servo actuator consists of a hydraulic actuator controlled by a directional control valve of an infinite number of positions and equipped with a feedback arrangement....

Instrumentation engineers and techs should carefully size reserve bottles used for valve actuators to ensure that these valves will be able to stroke a sufficient number of times without any supply from the air header. Bryce Elliott wrote an excellent article for the January 2009 edition of ISA's...
