- Scotch Yoke Actuator
Falcon Flow Control Scotch Yoke Actuator
A robust rotary actuator employing the Scotch yoke mechanism to provide high torque and precise control for quarter-turn valves in industrial applications.
Full Description
The Falcon Flow Control Scotch Yoke Actuator is designed to deliver reliable, high-torque rotary motion for the automation of quarter-turn valves such as ball, butterfly, and plug valves. Utilizing the Scotch yoke mechanism, this actuator converts linear piston motion into rotational output, enabling efficient torque generation with smooth, controlled valve operation.
Ideal for industries requiring dependable valve automation under demanding conditions, the Scotch yoke actuator offers superior performance in terms of torque output, compact design, and responsiveness. Its design provides high thrust during valve opening and closing cycles, with consistent torque delivery throughout rotation, making it suitable for applications involving large valves or valves operating under high pressure.
Constructed with durable materials and precision engineering, the Falcon Flow Control Scotch Yoke Actuator supports various control options, including pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric power sources. It can be customized to integrate with automated control systems and is designed for easy maintenance and long service life.
