Actuator safety at an affordable price

Page last modified

April 11 2024

The INFINITY GAUNTLET is a Lloyd's Register Technically Qualified, World-wide patent protected safety device composed of advanced para-aramid materials (such as KevlarTM or TwaronTM) which creates a shield for your degraded stored-energy assets. Designed to retain the spring force of a degraded actuator which is at risk of catastrophic failure while in service, non-operational or decommissioned, protecting people and equipment from not only an un-contained spring failure, but also the shrapnel that can result from release of the stored energy.

The INFINITY GAUNTLET can be used for protecting the surrounding equipment and personnel whilst working on the actuator, decommissioning the actuator, and transporting the degraded actuator to the beach for recycling/re-use by Infinity.

Pros & Limitations

Ensures the safety of plant and personnel from un-contained failures of stored energy actuators due to degradation, whether through corrosion or other factors

Removing a significant Major Accident Hazard

Is light-weight and easily transportable

Can be installed by core crew with a small amount of training

Does not degrade, corrode or wear in any way

Unlike metal clamps does not require additional inspection

Requires modification if there is exposed pipework

Specification

Specification Title	Specification Description
Customer Focus	Each Gauntlet is designed to your particular actuator and its environment. No two installations are the same. Very little dimensional and process information is required and a site survey is optional.
Cost	Keeping your costs to a minimum allowing you to implement the Gauntlet solution at low cost.
Scalability	There is no limit to the scalability of the Gauntlet.
Certifications / licences	Certified by Lloyd's Register under a rigorous development and testing programme.
Material	The Gauntlet uses para-aramid "bullet proof" Kevlar* / Twaron* woven fibre layers to protect personnel and assets from uncontained shrapnel if the actuator fails.
Patents	It is the ONLY certified safety device approved for use on degraded actuators and is the only non-metallic solution on the market.
Protection	Gauntlets do not degrade over time, nor do they degrade when exposed to salt spray, moisture, UV light, or heat up to 400ºC. They also protect the actuator from sun, sand, and wind.
