Siemens Actuator SKP15 Series – Electrohydraulic Gas Valve Actuator
Siemens SKP15 Series is an electrohydraulic gas valve actuator designed for safety shut-off applications in industrial gas combustion systems. It operates with compatible Siemens VGx/VRx gas valves to provide reliable OPEN/CLOSED control.
The SKP15 actuator features slow valve opening and rapid closing to support safe gas shut-off. The valve closes automatically when the electrical power supply is interrupted, making the actuator suitable for gas burners, industrial boilers, and gas-fired heating systems.
Key Features
- Electrohydraulic gas valve actuator
- OPEN/CLOSED safety shut-off operation
- Slow opening and rapid closing
- Safety shut-off function according to EN 161 when combined with compatible valves
- Low power consumption, maximum 10 VA for European models
- Suitable for gas families I–III, depending on valve compatibility
- Available with or without a factory-set end switch
- Plug-in electrical connection
Operating Principle
When electrical power is supplied, the hydraulic pump generates oil pressure to move the piston and gradually open the gas valve. When power is removed or interrupted, the valve closing spring returns the valve to its closed position. The closing time is less than one second.
Applications
- Industrial gas burners
- Boiler combustion systems
- Industrial furnaces
- Gas-fired heating equipment
- Gas safety shut-off systems
Available Models
- SKP15.000E1 – AC 120V, without end switch
- SKP15.000E2 – AC 230V, without end switch
- SKP15.001E1 – AC 120V, with end switch
- SKP15.001E2 – AC 230V, with end switch
Note: The SKP15 is designed exclusively for OPEN/CLOSED safety shut-off operation. It does not provide gas pressure regulation. Valve compatibility, operating voltage, and electrical accessories must be verified before installation.
