Accessories & Control Systems
Topside control panels
Regardless the actuated valve functionality is HIPPS, emergency shutdown, blowdown or on/off application, we have the capabilities to design and build the local control panels fully according the project specifications.
We have extensive experience with the typicals and standard layout types that are used by the different end users and EPC compnanies.

Handwheel adapters for divers
Removable handwheel adapters suitable to connect with ROV API 17H / ISO 13628-8 interface suitable for diver intervention.
Customization of torque output
The ATC helical torque conversion system matches most typical valve torque curve, reducing oil or air displacement by up to 50%.
In case there is a non-typical torque curve required we can modify the slot and curve output design to match the valve requirements and thus further optimizing the size and displacement of the actuator compared to traditional type actuator.
Known applications are large, high pressure rated valves with high breaking torque and/or overlap angles.Stainless steel actuators
In specific cases there is a need for stainless steel casing / exterior of the actuator for protection against harsh and corrosive environments.
All our actuators can be executed in stainless steel material like SS316, duplex, etc.Arctic temperatures
With our engineering knowledge and experience we have supplied several projects that required an actuator design suitable for arctic conditions with temperatures down to -52 degr C.
Special material selection and design customization are part of our company expertise.
Why is the compact actuator design superior to traditional pneumatic actuator mechanisms?
ATC’s compact actuator, featuring a helical slot design, delivers equal or higher torque than traditional mechanisms in a smaller, more efficient package. It’s low-friction torque conversion system that precisely matches the valve torque curve, reducing oil or air displacement by up to 50%. With fewer components, a self-lubricating mechanism, and an integrated casing that houses the piston, spring, and torque transmission system, ATC’s compact actuators offer higher reliability, lower maintenance, and longer operational life compared to conventional rack & pinion or scotch yoke designs.
Which actuator type is more cost-effective?
Over the full life-cycle, pneumatic actuators are typically more cost-effective. They don’t require an HPU, use lower-cost components, and have minimal maintenance needs. This results in reduced downtime and faster project deployment.
Can pneumatic actuators deliver high torque too?
Yes, modern compact pneumatic actuators can now operate large, high-pressure valves that once required hydraulic actuation. The latest designs combine robust torque performance with the simplicity and low weight of pneumatics, optimizing energy use and space in facilities
What about installation space and versatility?
ATC’s compact actuator design optimizes space, weight, and overall investment. Its integrated mechanism and reduced footprint make installation easier and more flexible — whether in existing facilities or new projects. Ideal for confined areas such as offshore platforms or modular skid units, the lightweight, space-saving design simplifies assembly, reduces total system weight, and helps lower project costs while maximizing efficiency and layout flexibility.
