BIFFI OLGA-H/OLGAS-H/OLGAS-H-QA High Pressure Hydraulic Actuators

Double-acting and spring return hydraulic quarter-turn actuators for

ON/OFF and modulating control of valves in heavy-duty service suitable

for high pressure supply. Models available for output torques to 750.000 Nm.

General Application

OLGA-H and OLGAS-H series hydraulic actuators are designed for the

control of quarter turn ball, butterfly, plug or damper style valves.

Output Torque

OLGA-H: Double-Acting torque up to 750.000 Nm

OLGAS-H/QA:

Spring starting torque up to 335.000 Nm

Spring ending torque up to 235.000 Nm

Higher values available with special versions

Ambient Temperature

Standard range: -20 to +100 °C / -4 to +210 °F

Extended range: -60 to +100 °C / -70 °F to +210 °F

MAWP: 

Maximum Allowable Working Pressure is the pressure defined

for the design of the actuator pressure containing parts.

MOP: 

Maximum Operating Pressure is pressure that generates the torque

used to engineer the mechanical loaded parts of the actuator and

it is the one required to produce the Maximum Operating Torque

(MOT) of the actuator.

Features

• Totally enclosed, weatherproof housing in fabricated carbon

steel for maximum strength.

• Guide bar resists transverse loads and supports the

piston rod.

• Hard chromium plated alloy steel material guarantees

corrosion protection and minimal friction.

• Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-impregnated bronze or

sintered bronze bushings provide minimal friction and

extended service life.

• Scotch yoke design with canted or symmetric torque arm

allows close working to distinctive valve torque profiles.

• External travel stops for precise angular stroke adjustment

90° +/- 4° at each end of travel.

• Electroless nickel plated and polished cylinder provides

maximum corrosion resistance and reduces friction.

• Triple-element piston seals provide low friction, high

sensitivity, ensure long life and prevent sticking problems.

• OLGAS-H fully encapsulated spring-return pack ensures

personnel safety and simplifies assembly.

• OLGAS-H modular design enables spring action to be

changed in the field easily.

• OLGAS-H QA is the quick-acting spring-return hydraulic and

electro-hydraulic actuators with high flow rate manifold and

cylinder, integral quick exhaust valves, and end-of-stroke

damper systems, designed by Biffi.

• OLGAS-H QA achieves “safe” position in less than 0.3 second.

This configuration can be provided with a double camber

option and the name will add the suffix DC at the end.
