The VariStroke™ line of linear electro-hydraulic valve actuators operate mechanical-driven or generator-driven steam turbines. Their superb accuracy and resolution make them ideal for steam valve control and related turbine speed and load control, where turbine up-time and availability is essential.
🔹 It is important to maintain your critical assets in order to ensure greater overall reliability of your steam turbine and avoid unscheduled downtime.
🔹 Maintaining the steam turbines properly increases the efficiency leading to lower feedstock and low energy conversion costs
Woodward’s VariStroke™ line has grown to include double-acting as well as single-acting (spring assist) models in order to respond to specific applications, being able to adapt to all types of configurations.
Whatever the model – single or double acting – the VariStroke™ can split into 2 components with a servo part separated from the power cylinder to be installed in all situations (remote version).
