Siemens Actuator SKP25 Series

Siemens SKP25 Series electrohydraulic actuators integrate gas valve operation with pressure governing functions for industrial combustion equipment. When paired with compatible Siemens VGx/VRx gas valves, they provide regulated gas pressure, damped valve opening and fast safety shutoff. The SKP25 family offers multiple pressure control configurations for industrial boilers, forced-draft gas burners and gas-fired heating systems.

Product Description

Siemens SKP25 Series Gas Valve Actuators with Pressure Governors

Siemens SKP25 Series actuators combine electrohydraulic gas valve operation with integrated gas pressure regulation. They are engineered for industrial burner installations and combustion systems requiring controlled gas supply pressure and dependable safety shutoff.

When installed on compatible Siemens VGx/VRx gas valves, the SKP25 controls valve opening, closes rapidly during shutdown, and regulates gas pressure to the selected setting. These actuators are primarily used in forced-draft gas burner systems and industrial combustion equipment.

Key Features

  • Electrohydraulic gas valve actuator incorporating a gas pressure governor
  • Gas pressure control through a setpoint spring or combustion air pressure signal, depending on the actuator version
  • Controlled, damped valve opening and fast closing for gas safety shutoff
  • Designed for compatible Siemens VGx/VRx gas valves
  • Supports gas families I-III, subject to the connected valve's suitability
  • Integrated valve stroke indication
  • Optional factory-adjusted end switch for closed-position indication
  • IP54 enclosure protection, with IP65 possible using specified accessories

SKP25 Actuator Variants

  • SKP25.0: Constant gas pressure control for mechanical or electronic air/fuel ratio systems
  • SKP25.2: Two-stage gas pressure setpoint switching
  • SKP25.3: Proportionate gas pressure governing
  • SKP25.4: High-pressure control with regulation ranges reaching 200 kPa
  • SKP25.6: Zero-pressure gas governor

Industrial Applications

  • Industrial gas burner installations
  • Steam boiler and industrial boiler systems
  • Forced-draft gas-fired burners
  • Gas train pressure regulation systems
  • Industrial process heating equipment
  • Gas-fired combustion control installations

Selection Note: Confirm the exact actuator model, rated supply voltage, pressure regulation range and compatibility with the selected gas valve before ordering. Installation and commissioning must be carried out by qualified personnel.
