Cooper Cameron Valves, a provider of ANSI class valves and related systems, has introduced its line of ActraCam(TM) actuators. ActraCam is a full line of high-pressure natural gas-powered rotary actuators and controls that complement the operation of the Cameron ball valve. The ActraCam actuator aims to make the selection and engineering process simpler and to save customers time, effort and cost. The ActraCam actuator can precisely match the actuator’s torque output to valve requirements. It is directly mounted on the valve, which simplifies field installation and eliminates the need for customised mounting hardware. ActraCam uses the robust travel stops of the Cameron ball valve, which alleviates the need for actuator travel stops or related field adjustments. “Our pipeline customers have always wanted a robust, durable and reliable valve, actuator and control assembly,” said Jason Broussard, Senior Marketing Manager for Cooper Cameron Valves. “And by single-sourcing the entire assembly, we are reducing our customers’ pain during valve selection and purchasing. At the same time, we are delivering a pre-certified solution which has the potential to significantly reduce costs for pipeline operators over the lifetime of the system.”
