Product Overview

The Siemens SKP15 series gas actuators are electro-hydraulic actuators designed to operate VG series gas valve bodies used in industrial and commercial burner systems. These actuators ensure reliable control of gas flow and provide safety shut-off protection during burner operation.

The SKP15 actuator opens slowly when energized and closes immediately when power is interrupted, ensuring safe shutdown of the gas supply in case of power failure or burner fault conditions.

With its modular design, the actuator can be mounted directly on VG series gas valves ranging from ½-inch to 6-inch sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial gas burner systems.

The actuator includes a visible position indicator, power-on indicator light, and quick-connect wiring terminals, allowing easy installation, monitoring, and maintenance in industrial environments.

The SKP15 series is widely used in industrial boilers, furnaces, heating systems, and combustion equipment where safe gas shut-off and reliable burner control are essential.

Technical Description

The Siemens SKP15 gas actuator is an electro-hydraulic actuator designed to operate gas valves in burner systems. It works in combination with VG series gas valve bodies to control gas flow in combustion systems.

When the actuator receives electrical power, it opens the gas valve slowly using hydraulic pressure, allowing controlled gas flow to the burner. When power is interrupted, the actuator immediately closes the valve, ensuring safe shut-off of the gas supply.

The actuator can be installed directly on VG gas valves using four mounting screws on the valve flange, and it does not require additional gaskets or seals.

Optional versions are available with proof-of-closure switches and auxiliary contacts, allowing integration with burner management systems and safety interlocks.
