SKP15.012U2 Siemens Actuator

Overview

The Siemens SKP15.012U2 is a high-performance electro-hydraulic actuator designed to work in conjunction with Siemens VG series gas valve bodies. It provides a safety shut-off function for industrial and commercial burner applications, ensuring reliable operation and rapid fail-safe closure. The actuator operates with a slow opening and fast closing mechanism, which helps prevent pressure surges in the gas train. Its modular design allows it to be used with a wide range of valve sizes from 1/2 inch to 6 inches, and it can be mounted in various orientations to accommodate field wiring.
