PTCS

Planetary Torque Controls System

  • High mechanical efficiency (>95%)
  • Precise control of the applied output torque/thrust
  • Silent service
  • Highly compact and light weight design
  • Increased Safety: PTCS provides mechanical protection against:
    • Overloading the valve
    • External pressure regulator failure or deregulated inlet pressure
    • Failure of any torque or limit switch
    • Delays in the switching control system independent from valve inertia
