Product Overview:
CDA Intercorp’s Scotch Yoke Actuators are engineered to deliver exceptionally high torque output for demanding valve automation and motion control applications. Utilizing a robust scotch yoke actuator mechanism, these systems efficiently convert linear force into reliable rotary motion, making them ideal for operating quarter-turn valves where high breakaway and seating torque are critical.
Our actuator solutions are available in pneumatic, hydraulic, and customized configurations to meet a wide range of industrial requirements. Each pneumatic scotch yoke actuator is designed to provide dependable performance, precise operation, and long service life even in harsh environments involving extreme temperatures, vibration, and corrosive conditions.
Built for industries such as oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical processing, marine, and industrial automation, CDA Intercorp’s actuator systems offer superior torque characteristics throughout the operating stroke. Whether replacing an existing bettis scotch yoke actuator solution or developing a new custom system, our engineering team can tailor each scotch yoke type actuator to specific torque, mounting, environmental, and control requirements. The result is a high-performance scotch and yoke actuator solution designed for reliability, efficiency, and long-term operational success.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a Scotch Yoke Actuator?
A scotch yoke actuator is a mechanical device that converts linear motion into rotary motion through a yoke-and-pin mechanism. It is commonly used for quarter-turn valve applications requiring high torque output.
2. What are the advantages of a pneumatic Scotch Yoke actuator?
A pneumatic scotch yoke actuator provides high torque efficiency, fast response times, reliable operation, and suitability for hazardous industrial environments where electric actuation may not be preferred.
3. Which valves are commonly operated using Scotch Yoke actuators?
Scotch yoke actuators are typically used with butterfly valves, ball valves, plug valves, and other quarter-turn valve systems that require significant breakaway and seating torque.
4. Can CDA Intercorp provide custom Scotch Yoke actuator solutions?
Yes. CDA Intercorp develops custom scotch yoke type actuator solutions tailored to specific torque requirements, environmental conditions, valve interfaces, and control system needs.
5. Are fail-safe configurations available?
Yes. Both double-acting and spring-return configurations are available. Spring-return models provide fail-safe operation during power or air supply loss.
6. How do Scotch Yoke actuators compare to Bettis Scotch Yoke actuators?
CDA Intercorp offers engineered solutions similar to leading Bettis Scotch Yoke actuator technologies while providing flexible customization, application-specific engineering support, and solutions tailored to unique operational requirements.
