Damcos™ KC Linear Double-Acting Actuator
You’ll attain superior marine globe valve control with the Damcos KC Double -Acting Actuator. Designed for intermediate positions and fail set operation, this actuator converts hydraulic pressure into linear motion with thrust delivered proportional to the applied pressure.The KC has no external moving parts and has a built-in device for maintaining pressure at temperature variations. Designed with a built-in crossover valve and a direct visual position indicator for on-site verification
The Damcos™ KC Linear Double-Acting Actuator, engineered by Emerson, is a robust hydraulic actuator designed to deliver precise and reliable linear valve operation in marine, offshore, and industrial applications. Built for demanding environments, the KC actuator combines high performance, compact design, and long-term durability, ensuring dependable control of critical valve functions. This actuator utilizes a double-acting hydraulic principle, providing controlled power in both opening and closing directions, which ensures fast, accurate, and repeatable valve positioning. The Damcos™ KC series is compatible with a wide range of linear valve types, including gate valves, globe valves, and choke valves, making it a versatile solution for numerous fluid control systems. Engineered for harsh marine and subsea environments, the KC actuator is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, offering long operational life with minimal maintenance. It can be integrated seamlessly with Damcos™ control systems, Local Power Units (LPUs), and Remote Control Systems, providing full automation and feedback capabilities.
