Limitorque Trust us for automatic valve control reliability ... the U.S. Navy does. "Reliability" is a word the U.S. Navy lives by, and so do all the design engineers who specify equip-ment for Naval ships. The reliability of Limitorque auto-mated valve controls in critical ap-plications has been proved time and again. That's why the Navy uses Limi-torque valve controls for the Naval ships and classes shown below. Limi-torque valve operators help to con-trol and operate critical power sys-tems: on fuel, water, steam and circulation lines; on pumps, on con-densers, and on catapults. Limi-torques are also widely used on firefighting lines; on ballast systems; on CO2 lines, and on damage con-trol equipment and systems on many ships. Some are even used to raise and lower ramps. Limitorque operators save time and effort. They open and close valves anywhere on the ship? smoothly, instantly?by push-but-ton or programmed sequence. Under emergency conditions, Limitorque valve operators help protect ships and personnel, by programmed auto-matic operation, or on command from damage control centers. Valve maintenance is minimized because the precision action of a Limitorque control protects valve components from undue wear and damage. For reliable control of valves, hatches, ramps?wherever control-led linear or radial movement is needed?investigate automated con-trol by Limitorque.
