QTO Gas over oil Actuators Series
QTO actuators are used for on/off control of any natural gas transmission ball or plug valve by means of a high-pressure natural gas or nitrogen actuator supply. They introduce a new generation of patented mechanism which minimizes wearing effect on all loaded & sliding parts, thus extending overall lifespan.

- Low temperature option extends operating range down to -60 degC (-76 degF)
Supply medium
Sweet Gas – Nitrogen. Special versions are available for Sour Gas or H2
Scotch Yoke
PATENTED Guide Bar hard chromium plated minimizing guide block swing extending piston rod lifespan under heavy load &/or continuous modulating duty and avoiding any side load on valve stem. Excellent surface finish and self lubricated bearings accomplish higher overall efficiency.
External Tie Rod
External tie-rods, zinc based chemical coating which resists 500 – 1000 hours of salt fog, maintain cylinder integrity.
Symmetric or canted yoke
Gas Over Oil Actuator are available with either symmetric or canted yoke design to cover as closely as possible valve resistive torque profile.
Water ingress protection
Totally enclosed and weather-proof actuator is engineered to meet IP66, IP67 IP67M and NEMA 4 & 4X Specifications.
Materials
Cylinder Tube & all structural parts are manufactured in carbon steel material: no cast/grey iron or aluminium. All pressure containing parts are supplied with 3.1 Certificate according to EN10204. Design according to PED (97/23 CE) Directive.
Corrosion Prevention
Cylinder tube is internally nickel-plated lined (minimum 25µm). Nickel-plating layer can be increased upon request.
External coating provides higher reliability in harsh environmental conditions as per ISO 12944 (Expected Durability) and in compliance with NORSOK M-CR-501 requirements.
Seal
Teflon ring with internal charging O-ring and external sealing O-ring prevents sticking phenomena after prolonged “stand still” and ensures reduced hysteresis and high sensitivity.
Bearing
Dual piston PTFE sliding guide, yoke and guide block are mounted with steel Teflon coated bushing to minimize wearing effect and obtain higher sensitivity.
Labelling
316 Stainless Steel embossed name plate ensures long lasting information preservation, thus guaranteeing lifetime traceability.
Travel stops
External travel stops with protective cap ensure precise angular stroke adjustment 90 -5deg/+5deg.
Lifting point
By means of DIN certified eyelet (three or four off lifting point according to center-body size).
Optional Features
Mounting Pad
Accessory mounting pad allows dual side mounting & does not require any fixing modification in case of rear side assembly.
Manual Override
DVG Automation QYO series can be supplied with hydraulic manual override system. Power is provided by operation of local manual hydraulic hand pump. Open and close action can be selected by means of a directional control valve. Hydraulic manual override by means of two separate hand pumps (1 for open and 1 for close) is available
