Saf-T- Gard Actuators

Desig ned to shut in operating wells in hydrocarbon
producing scenarios and most environmental
conditions, Camerons Saf-T- Gard actuators and

accessories are an integ ral part of control reliability.

When incorporated into a safety system, these
actuators help protect the environment and
equipment by shutting in the well when most needed.

Saf-T-Gard actuators are desig ned to actuate

Camerons FL, FLS , and M g ate valves, as well
as valves produced by other manufacturers.
