Bosch Rexroth's subsea valve actuator (SVA) has won a Mechanical Engineering Design Award. The SVA was launched as an energy-efficient alternative to electromechanical and electrohydraulic actuators in the offshore oil and gas exploration industry. The SVA's fluid circuit and variable-speed pump drive removes the need for a central power unit and long fluid lines. Rexroth's SVA uses up to three-quarters less electricity than electromechanical actuators during peak times.
