Abstract: Methods and systems for operating an integrated actuator are provided. The integrated actuator comprises an actuator body, an extension rod coupled to the actuator body. The extension rod includes a piston valve and is configured for selective movement between a first position in a first mode of operation where the piston valve is fully open and a second position in a second mode of operation where the piston valve is less than fully open. The integrated actuator further comprises a flow body coupled to the actuator body such that the flow body houses the piston valve and a modulation device coupled to the extension rod. The modulation device is operable by movement of the extension rod and is configured to be fully open in the first mode of operation and is configured to be less than fully open in the second mode of operation.
