Bosch Rexroth revolutionizes subsea actuator technology04.05.2018 9.22
Rexroth will display a unique system for subsea actuation in booth #2805 at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas, from April 30th to May 3rd. The Subsea Valve Actuator (SVA) is an electro-mechanical actuator with a hydrostatic drive, uniquely designed to complete the range of traditional hydraulic and all-electric subsea actuators for subsea control and production systems. By combining the best features of electrohydraulic actuators and electromechanical actuators, Rexroth is revolutionizing actuator technology with the world’s first hybrid Subsea Valve Actuator. Optimized for manufacturing, the SVA is based on industrial-standard components that have been produced with the highest quality standards and lean production methods. With its modular design, users can easily configure according to their unique application requirements, without necessary costly redesign of their entire system. Highlights of the SVA include:
The SVA achieves the same performance in terms of safety, but with much higher reliability than hydraulic actuators, by also offering a simple electric interface like the all-electric actuators (without umbilicals for hydraulic fluid power). |
