Gas over Oil Actuator

The design is based on a hydraulic scotch yoke actuator.​
The (natural) gas from the pipeline is not directly used in the actuator but hydraulic fluid is used as an intermediate or transfer to the actuator.​
A typical set up includes a high pressure control assembly, hand pump assembly, gas over oil tanks and the hydraulic actuator. The actuator can be single or double acting.​
​
An alternative is direct gas actuator where the gas operates the pneumatic actuator directly.​
