The VariStroke-I series long stroke hydraulic actuator provides accurate and reliable steam turbine valve rack control at high speed.

If your steam turbine power system is still running on older Power Cylinder Steam Rack actuation technology, your equipment may have unrealized potential.

Steam turbines are complex as they are potentially dangerous, but modern safety controls and protocols make operation simpler and safer. Current purpose-built digital safety systems and controls are more reliable, preventing overspeed events and allowing more accurate machine dynamics tuning.

In 1987, a Class I railroad finished the development of new locomotive technology. An experimental engine conversion project had begun years prior, aiming to capitalize on the stable and cheaper cost of natural gas. The project was successful, but the infrastructure requirements to make it financially viable were too big to swallow.

Engenious Engineering started as Energy Conversions Inc. in 1986, founded to design an experimental diesel locomotive conversion for a Class I railroad. The idea was simple in concept: fuel costs were rising and natural gas was much cheaper.
