The VariStroke-I is a linear electro-hydraulic actuator that is designed to provide the linear actuation force to operate steam turbine control valves or valve racks. This integrated actuator is intended for use on mechanicaldriven or generator-driven steam turbines and uses a low-pressure hydraulic oil source (typically
turbine lube oil) to provide its output shaft force.
