Master Flo’s subsea and surface choke product lines are
complemented by actuation technology of an exceptional
performance. These robust efficient and reliable actuators meet the increasing demands of today’s oil field and offshore environments. The hydraulic and pneumatic systems allow for optimum control of production. The rigorous testing and qualification done on these units ensure reliability and long-term life. With an in-house research and development department and state-of-the-art testing facilities, Master Flo is committed to the continuous improvement required to meet the dynamic needs of today’s oil and gas industry.
Designed specifically to handle the severe service applications seen on offshore platforms, this double-acting pneumatic piston actuator has a proven performance track record. The actuator is environmentally sealed to reduce many of the corrosion effects common to the industry.
Operator safety and environmental awareness,
always a concern at Master Flo, has resulted in a design that is without exposed linkages. The double-acting piston operates on a minimum of 80 psi pneumatic supply providing a stiff control system for higher pressure choke valves. The internal spring bias provides fail-closed operation features on loss of pneumatic or electrical signal.

The linear hydraulic actuator is custom designed for Master Flo chokes to provide the optimum thrust output required by our choke valve line. Designed to provide light, compact and efficient operation for choke valves, this 3,000 psi hydraulic supply actuator is a modified double- acting piston design.
As with all Master Flo actuators, environmental
protection and operator safety promotes a design with a sealed accessory drive mechanism and no exposed linkages. The actuator is normally equipped with a position feedback unit; however an optional hydraulic control system can be fitted to allow the operator to input a 4-20 mA signal to position the choke.

All units can be supplied to CSA, UL or Atex certification and can be equipped with an optional manual override (hand pump) feature. The unique cylinder design can provide fail-closed, fail-open or fail-last position operation.
The Master Flo Stepping Actuator is designed to operate our P2 through P10 choke valves using pneumatic or hydraulic supply. The precision and high torque generated through the 36° incremental steps makes this actuator an excellent choice for higher pressure valves. The actuator system has been subjected to extensive endurance testing and has a superior field performance record of durability and reliability. The operating principal consists of independent systems for the closed and open operation. Each system utilizes a spring-biased cylinder to provide linear thrust which is converted to rotary action through the actuator mechanism. This rotary action provides the torque necessary to rotate the standard stem nut operating the valve. This makes this actuator ideal for field conversion where manual valves are converted to actuated units.

This actuator is typically operated through solenoids in conjunction with position feedback supplied from a 4-20 mA position transmitter unit. This provides remote monitoring of the choke position. Optional positioner control systems are available which will allow the operator to input a 4-20 mA signal to position the choke. All units come with a 11/2” hex drive for manual operation or can be equipped with a declutchable handwheel.
Master Flo prides itself on its versatility and ability to adapt to customer requirements, and third party actuation on our choke valves is another example of this commitment. Most Master Flo chokes are available with a wide array of actuator types and models as project requirements prescribe. Shown here is one of the more comon type; the Fisher diaphragm actuator suitable for operation with 20 or 35 psi supply and fail-open or fail-closed configurations.
For unique piping configurations or areas with space
constraints, Master Flo offers a right-angle mounting hardware for linear actuators. This option allows the operator to configure the actuator orientation at right angles to the valve stem axis. Since the hardware is fixed to the valve body, another benefit of this mounting is valve service. The actuator and its utility connections can remain in position when servicing the valve internals.
