FAQ

What types of valves is the Bray 98H hydraulic actuator suitable for?

The 98H series is suitable for hydraulic automation of ball and butterfly valves, supporting on/off control, throttling control, direct drive, and spring return configurations, as well as emergency shutdown applications. Valve interface and output torque should be confirmed against the actual valve model, operating torque, and service conditions.

How do I select the appropriate 98H actuator torque and hydraulic pressure for a valve?

Selection begins by determining the valve's opening/closing torque under actual differential pressure, media, temperature, and cycling frequency, then matching the actuator output torque, spring end torque, and hydraulic supply pressure. The 98H series working pressure range is 35 to 207 bar, with output torque from 187 to 100,000 Nm.

How do I choose between symmetric yoke and canted yoke configurations?

Symmetric and canted yokes match different valve torque profiles and operating characteristics. The valve torque curve during opening, closing, and end positions should be evaluated, along with requirements for spring return, hydraulic override, partial stroke, or locking functions.

Can the 98H series be mounted directly to valves, and what interface standards apply?

The 98H series features a modular direct-mount design for Bray valves. Mounting dimensions comply with ISO 5211:2001(E) and MSS SP-101-1989; shaft drive accessories mount per NAMUR-VDE. Valve mounting flange, stem connection, rotation angle, and stop positions should be verified before installation.

What capabilities does the 98H series offer for low-temperature, outdoor, or safety-critical applications?

The standard temperature range is -29°C to 100°C, with low-temperature configurations down to -46°C. The PED temperature range is -29°C to 80°C. The actuator features a high-grade epoxy/polyurethane coating with ingress protection per IEC 60529. Available for ATEX, SIL 3, and PED requirements depending on configuration.
