Product Critical Technical Advantages
-
Seismic Resilience by Design: Unlike standard industrial actuators, the 667NS is built with thick-walled cast iron and steel. This heavy-duty construction provides the necessary rigidity to maintain valve control during and after seismic events, ensuring critical systems remain operational when they are needed most.
-
Leak-Proof, Tubeless Integration: By incorporating an integral air passage, the 667NS allows for a seamless connection with Fisher FIELDVUE™ digital valve controllers. This eliminates external tubing—a frequent source of leaks and a vulnerability in high-vibration nuclear environments—streamlining both installation and long-term maintenance.
-
High-Performance Response Times: Efficiency in nuclear thermal-hydraulic loops depends on speed. The 657NS utilizes a shallow pressure-side casing to minimize air volume, enabling the actuator to react almost instantaneously to control signals for superior throttling accuracy.
-
Maximum Thrust, Minimum Area Change: The use of a molded diaphragm in a deep casing ensures that the effective area stays consistent throughout the stroke. This provides a linear and powerful thrust profile, allowing the 667NS to overcome high process pressures while maintaining precise positioning.
