Compact Self-Contained Electro-Hydraulic Rotary Actuator for On/Off Applications

Cowan E2H90 Series Self-Contained Electro-Hydraulic Rotary Valve Actuators are used for industrial process valves where highly reliable, controlled and Emergency Shut-down are required. They are used to automate rotary type valves such as: ball and butterfly valves.

For valve automation applications that require emergency shutoff valve automation, we recommend the E2H-ESD.

Features

  • Torque up to 2,650,000 in-lbs
  • On/Off Service
  • Fail-Last, Fail-Close or Fail-Open
  • Spring-Return configuration available
  • Manual Override is Standard
  • Dual Hydraulic Filtering System: allows ease of maintenance

Independent and Adjustable Open/Close Time

The system flow rate is designed to be 20L/min. For example, the measure ESD time of a size 09 electro-hydraulic actuator is less than three seconds.

By independently setting an open/close adjustment valve in the hydraulic control system, the length of time to operate the valve by the actuator can be strictly controlled. 

For example it can close or open the valve in a natural gas pipeline quickly (less than 10s) to block it, or slowly close (more than 120s) the valve to avoid the water hammer effect in a production oil pipeline.
