Saf-T-Gard? Hydraulic Wirecutting Actuator
MHW 75 Series
for use with 2”, 3", 4”, 5” and 6" nominal gate valves
Description
Cameron’s Hydraulic Wirecutting actuator is used in the master run of the tree on a reverse acting gate valve. The Cameron MHW Hydraulic wirecutting actuator product line has been developed by using the superior features of field proven products and then combining them with innovative technology. Particular attention has been given to safety and ease of maintenance. Hydraulic wirecutting actuators are designed to provide additional well shut in protection during wireline operations. When wireline complications occur and the well shut procedure is recommended, then the hydraulic wirecutting actuator will provide a closing force to shear .108 wireline or 7/32" braided line and safely shut in the well. Design Advantages
Superior Piston Design Array Cameron MHW hydraulic actuators utilize a special
actuator head with a single piston design. The single
piston design minimizes the amount of fluid required to
compress the large power spring. Quick closure time and
small swept volume are the result of this innovative
design. Minimum down time is an additional benefit with
quick and easy access to the Piston “T” seal without
removing the actuator from well site for repair.
Visual Piston Indicator
An external position indicator in the form of a top shaft
allows visual inspection of the valve position. The top
shaft is designed to eliminate the transfer of torque to the
gate and bonnet stem when using a manual hold open
device. The rising stem also provides simple mechanical
and fusible lock open capabilities. A non-rising stem
(NRS) design is available and visual position indication is
provided with two view windows 180 degrees apart on
the housing of the non-rising design.
Spring System
A dual compression spring design produces the
necessary closing force to shear wireline, with no
required valve body pressure assist. The actuator’s
versatile design provides fast, trouble-free
interchangeability of major components and easy field
maintenance. Spring modules are “safety housed” for
trouble-free replacement without the need for special
compression tools.
Failsafe-Close Design
Upon loss of hydraulic pressure, the actuator will close the valve with available spring force without wellbore pressure.
Corrosion Resistant Materials
All Cameron hydraulic actuators are manufactured to NACE MR-01-75, in addition all non-stainless components are coated to maximize corrosion resistance.Cameron has special coatings or treatments available for severe corrosion resistance requirements on springs,housings or any component that is exposed to severe corrosive conditions.
Actuator Housing Not Pressurized
The actuator housing is not a pressure vessel, but is a structural covering only. All pressure containing components are located in top of tools for quick, easy access. This is a safety advantage to workers on platforms. The actuator top head houses all of the pressure containing components.
Large Porting Eases Maintenance
Pressure inlet and relief flow passages are 1/2"N.P.T. These larger ports are durable and help eliminate debris buildup.
Permanent Drift Setting
Stainless steel spacers are used to provide permanent drift adjustment. Removal of the actuator does not affect the adjustment.
Ease of Maintenance
The actuator utilizes seals and backup rings on the piston and rising stem. Seals are readily available worldwide and are easily replaced with common tools.
Drain Plugs Flushing Housing
Two large drain plugs are located at either end of the housing to facilitate cleaning of the actuator spring housing.
