EIM “G” Gas Motor Control Retrofit Kit

The Gevalco “Gas Motor Control” package can be used to upgrade existing EIM “G” series gas motor actuators with current, more reliable technology. The control package utilizes current “poppet”

valve technology to provide reliable, maintenance-free control of gas motor actuators. The standard local “auto-manual” control consists of a “poppet” selector valve and two limit valves. The Gevalco patented limit valves, operated through a reliable cam mechanism, use a mechanical plunger integral to the proven Gevalco “poppet” valve. The “poppet” valve directly stops gas flow through the motor as opposed to operating a spool-type selector valve. This design provides quick, positive shut-off of the actuator to eliminate excessive torque on the valve and the waste of valuable gas. The “auto-manual” station, which can be remotely located, utilizes the proven and reliable Gevalco “poppet” valve design to provide a compact, easy to use, local control of the valve. The components can be easily field installed and calibrated to provide reliable, long cycle life control of existing gas motor actuators.

The Gevalco Advantage

• Valve material is marine-grade, hard-anodized aluminum and stainless steel for maximum corrosion resistance and longer cycle life.
• Built-in pilot pistons provide signal input from other solenoids or pneumatic devices.
• High flow exhaust shuttle valve improves motor efficiency while reducing gas consumption.
• Commerically available 3-way SS ball valve for local manual operation.
• Optional limit switches with (2) explosion proof SPDT hermetically sealed proximity switches for remote indication.
• Optional remote electric operation with (2) 2-way explosion proof solenoids.
• Unit comes pre-tubed for an easy bolt-on; Connect power gas and go.
