Compact LEDEEN Actuators

Save valuable rig space

Four actuators painted blue.

Compact LEDEEN HS and CP actuators—some of the smallest actuators available on the market—save valuable space on a production platform or FPSO vessel when installing automated valve packages within the piping system.

Ideal solutions for space-constrained installations

Unlike conventional scotch yoke actuators, compact LEDEEN actuator profiles are concentric with the valve stem, reducing the required installation space and enabling alternative piping options.

Application-specific torque mechanism

LEDEEN actuators have two different torque mechanisms available, enabling the most appropriate mechanism to be utilized for maximum efficiency.

  • High-pressure hydraulic applications: A small helical spline mechanism is used with a small piston diameter to generate high torque outputs.
  • Low-pressure pneumatic applications: The larger helical slot mechanism is combined with a larger piston diameter to generate an equivalent torque output.

Independently adjustable travel stops

For precise valve positioning, the actuators feature a patent-pending integrated adjustable travel stop subassembly. Valves can be accurately set to the closed position to ensure positive shut-off and set fully open to optimized process flow.
