Paladon

Originally developed for the offshore Oil & Gas Industry, Paladon Systems Self-Contained Electro-Hydraulic Control Systems provide a rugged and reliable valve automation solution. Typically used in applications in which external pneumatic or hydraulic power sources are unavailable, unreliable or uneconomic, these fully customizable and compact systems provide operators with many operational benefits when compared to purely electric, pneumatic or hydraulic systems.

Available in mutli-turn, part-turn, linear and lever configurations, Paladon's comprehensive range of electric actuators are suitable for cost effective and reliable automation of virtually any valve size and type. 

DG-Series direct gas actuators are a simpler and more cost effective solution than gas/hydraulic type actuators. Rather than use the process gas to pressurise hydraulic fluid to provide the energy to operate the actuator, the process gas acts directly upon the actuator’s piston. To ensure long and reliable operation, Paladon ensures that, whatever the quality of the process gas, it is sufficiently filtered before entering the control system and actuator. Numerous additional control system options are available; including linebreak detection (rate-of-drop and high/low) and remote control.

GH and GHL-Series gas/hydraulic actuators use high pressure process gas to provide the energy required to power the actuator automating the valve. To provide increased safety and reliability, the process gas acts upon hydraulic fluid stored in gas/hydraulic tanks, creating hydraulic pressure that is subsequently used to power the actuator. As standard, the gas/hydraulic control system provides local open and close control using either the high pressure process gas, or via a hydraulic hand pump. Numerous additional control system options are available; including linebreak detection (rate of drop and high/low) and remote control.

PNL and HYL-Series high performance pneumatic and hydraulic linear piston actuators have been designed to automate any linear mechanism. Using the same cylinder components as used for the PN and HY-Series, long cycle life is guaranteed even in the most demanding applications and environmental conditions.

PN and HY-Series pneumatic and hydraulic scotch-yoke actuators have been designed specifically to guarantee long cycle life in the most demanding applications and environmental conditions. A fabricated steel frame, coupled with an all-steel construction, results in a lighter and more corrosion resistant actuator than traditional ones that employ castings. A light design, superior corrosion resistance and an Ingress Protection rating of IP66 as standard, makes the PN & HY-Series an ideal choice for offshore applications,
