Benefits of QuickTrak™
• Fast stroking & fast response for system
protection – Compressor Recycle
• Precise positioning for accurate process
control – Gas Feed Control
• Improves plant performance
• Speed, accuracy & reliability
• Elimination of quick exhausts, boosters &
relays
• Integral electronic position feedback
eliminates complex linkages susceptible
to wear, damage & poor resolution
• Highly reliable system operation &
components
• Reduced maintenance/operating costs
• Configurable control system
Hydraulic actuators
• Pros
• Stiff, precise, fast
• Cons
• Reliability – poor
• Cost – $$$ high
• Installation cost
• Hydraulic power supply
• Frequent & costly maintenance
• Complex controls
• Safety – poor
• Oil leaks are fire hazards
• Corrosion issues with
components
Volume Boosters and
Quick Exhaust Valves
• Volume boosters provide
a volume increase with a
1:1 pressure output for
positioner signal
• Deadband is typically built
into boosters for stability
• Needle valves bypass
signal flow to/from the
actuator for sensitivity
adjustment
• Quick exhaust valves
provide a 1:1 volume
increase in the exhaust
mode only
CCI 1st generation pneumatic
(Current competitor’s best offering)
• Pros
• Safe power medium (air)
• Acceptable reliability
• Acceptable modulation & fast
stroking (CCI)
• Cons
• Large number of accessories
including large booster
relays, & quick exhaust
valves for fast stroking
• Slow response to small signal
change
• Overshoot on fast stroking
units
• Complex linkage design
• Interactive gains between
volume boosters
STI Derivative Booster
• Manifold mounting to the

actuator
• Combines booster quick
exhaust into the same
device operated by the
same signal, cutting
number of components
x2.
• Directional tuning,
eliminates interactive
gains
• Cv = 5 air inlet, 10 air
exhaust
CCI 2nd generation
pneumatic
• Pros
• Safe power medium (air)
• Acceptable reliability
• Acceptable modulation & fast
stroking
• Fewer accessories than 1st
generation
• Manifold mounted accessories
• Improved linkage design
• Cons
• Limited number of accessories
limits performance on large systems
• Slower response to small signal
change
• Still some overshoot on fast stroking
units
Actuator Performance with 2nd generation STI
accessories
